Answers

1. John Lennon. He was marching at the head of the group as they crossed the road -- a message perhaps? He'd already left the group but it hadn't been announced yet.

2. The Shirelles, in 1960. They almost didn't record the song, thinking it sounded too country. It ended up at the top of the Hot 100 chart and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

3. Aretha Franklin, "Respect" from 1967 and Public Enemy, "Fight the Power" from 1989.

4. "Hair," in 1967.

5. "Cry," by Johnnie Ray, in 1951. Ray, known for his overly dramatic singing style, managed to incite the crowds to hysteria like Elvis Presley and the Beatles would eventually do.
