From hall of famers to one-hit wonders, pop music has a rich history in New Jersey.
A little New Jersey music trivia to go with our gallery about Garden State acts large and small.
* Frankie Avalon was not given his name as a play on the New Jersey shore town. Actually, he was born Francis Thomas Avallone in Philadelphia in 1939.
* Ella Fitzgerald had her version of Benny Goodman's "Jersey Bounce" on two of her albums, "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!" and "All That Jazz."
* "The Diamond Church Street Choir" by Gaslight Anthem is an ode to the New Brunswick bar at which the band played its first show.

* "Everything's Going to Be All Right" by Naughty by Nature is a version of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" reworked to detail life growing up in New Jersey.
* Country and western superstar Clint Black was born in Long Branch. And that's his given name.
And as you go through the gallery, here's a little game you can play along; see how many of the songs you can hum or sing.
