Twenty-four Hours from …

Image from Wikipedia

“Oh, I was only twenty four hours from … 
Ah, only one day away from your arms 
I saw a welcoming light 
And stopped to rest for the night”

The above lines are taken from a Burt Bacharach and Hal David song that achieved chart success in 1963—a top five hit in the UK and a top twenty hit in the US.

Q1. What US city was the singer only twenty-four hours away from?

Q2. Who is the singer, born on 17 February, who achieved the chart success mentioned above?

The answers will be posted later today.

As a retired trivia writer, editor and quiz compiler, I wholeheartedly agree with Bertrand Russell’s quote: “There’s much pleasure to be gained in useless knowledge.” Trivia of all sorts has always fascinated me, and for many years, I’ve written and compiled trivia for various media, including traditional TV and radio quiz shows, newspapers and magazines, apps, and other digital platforms.
