On this day in 1971, legendary saxophone player King Curtis Ousley was stabbed to death by a vagrant outside of his New York City home.

Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride

The answer to today's #ThemeTunePopQuiz is
1 Boston Rag #SteelyDan
2 Memphis Soul Stew #KingCurtis
3 Toledo #ElvisCostello & #BurtBacharach
4 Paris, Texas #RyCooderFirstly, with the sad news of the maestro's passing I had to do a quiz using one of my favourite Bacharach songs. I love how Costello pairs the city in Ohio with that after which it's named, the Spanish citadel.
So the theme is songs with US Cities that are namesakes:
Boston, England
Memphis, Egypt
Toledo, Spain
Paris, France -
