In the Double Jeopardy round yesterday, there was a category
called “A Pop-Up Category,” and the $2000 answer was:
“And
if this old world starts getting you down, there’s room enough for two” here.
None of the three contestants got it – maybe they were just
too young. But for us boomers, this is a very familiar line from the song “Up
on the Roof” written by Gerry
Goffin (lyrics) and Carole
King (tune) and originally recorded in 1962 by The
Drifters. Ms. King would later record the song on her 1970 Writer
album. James Taylor played guitar and sang it with Ms. King at her Carnegie
Hall concert on June 18, 1971, and later recorded his own version of “Up on the
Roof” on his 1979 album, Flag.
A fun walk down memory lane thanks to Jeopardy!
Love,
Rebecca
