TRUE OR FALSE
1. True. Thomas Edison invented it at his Menlo Park, N.J., laboratory in 1877. (His first recording? "Mary Had a Little Lamb.")
2. False, though they're both from Jersey. Houston is actually Dionne Warwick's cousin.
3. False. The band's name — Spanish for "I've got it" — comes from the hapless early days of the New York Mets. One player was Venezuelan, so to avoid collisions when chasing pop flies, a teammate learned to call for the ball in Spanish.
4. True. They were all born on Dec. 12 (Sinatra in 1915, Francis in 1938 and Warwick in 1940).
5. False. Just Wyclef (he was born in Haiti, but has lived in New Jersey since his teens). Latifah was born in Newark. Akon spent much of his childhood in Senegal, but was born in St. Louis and settled in New Jersey when he was 7.
BONUS ROUND
The Soul Survivors were from Philadelphia — just across the Delaware River.
