Fans crushed the classic-era questions — 86% correctly named 'Living in America' and 'Please, Please, Please' — but when James Brown's catalog got mixed with soul imposters like 'Let's Stay Together,' only 57% spotted 'The Payback' as his, revealing a sneaky blind spot in deeper catalog knowledge.

The 'Funky Drummer' question was the ultimate equalizer — fans were so stumped that correct and incorrect answers split perfectly at 25% each across all four options, making it the only question where the crowd was genuinely clueless across the board.
