No real rules, though I wouldn't count members of the same act as a "duet" (like Simon & Garfunkel, or John & Paul). I'll start with Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway's "Where Is The Love"

I reckon this thread won't get a ton of attention for our younger folk, but at least I'll have a sandbox to play in.  I don't really have a format for the thread as a whole, though I'm piddling around with a countdown and some record reviews and some cultural stuff and some contrarian takes...

40. "I Feel Love" - Donna Summer This record was way ahead of its time. More importantly, I saw her sing it on American Bandstand in a teddy. I was 15  :wub:

40. "When You Say Love" - Sonny & Cher Didn't Budweiser steal this for their '70s commercials? Or was it the other way around? Anyway, it sucks.

40. "Still Crazy After These Years" - Paul Simon I guess this means something to Paul, but it's a snoozer to me.

40. "Battle Hymn Of LT Kelly" - Terry Nelson WTF? I don't remember this one at all, and I wish I hadn't heard it now. This is worse than the constant complaining in every thread about board moderation.

40. "Hit The Road Jack" - The Stampeders God, no. Don't cover Ray Charles as Dr Hook.

40. "Dancing Machine" - Jackson Five This ain't nothing BUT groove. The closest Michael and the rest ever came to gut-bucket funk. Also, I think this is the song Michael broke out the robot dance on.

40.  "Daisy A Day" - Jud Strunk This is awful. It's like a remake of that damned "Unicorn" song from the 60s. I'm already sorry I popped this one.

40.  "Daisy A Day" - Jud Strunk This is awful. It's like a remake of that damned "Unicorn" song from the 60s. I'm already sorry I popped this one.

40. "Like A Sunday In Salem" - Gene Cotton This guy's pretty much forgotten now, but he had some good records. He's hard to describe, as there was not really anyone in the late 70s doing what he was.

40. "Rocky" - Austin Roberts Welp, we kick off with one of those whitebread story-songs that were so big back then. Stuff like "Blind Man In The Bleachers", "Shannon", and "Run Joey Run".

40. Edward Bear - "Close Your Eyes". Typical early-70s wanna-be hippy-pop. 

40. "Leaving Me" - The Independents Not sure I recall this one, but there were so many good soul records coming out around this time. Sounds like a cross between The Chi Lites and the O Jays

Haven't had time to do one of these in a while. I may have to post in bunches, as I'm cooking a bunch of food. Let's kick it off with the mighty Temptations 40. "Shaky Ground"

Link The Father of Rock-&-Roll

God, I hope this one is better than the abortion that was my last '79 countdown

Happy New Year! 40. "Struttin'" - Billy Preston

Whoa. This must have been one of Casey's first. 40. "Heed The Call" - Kenny Rogers & The 1st Edition

As always, I don't know what's coming and am just logging them as they come on SMX's channel 70
