Hiya Karen & Paul

I know the artist for #2 is Ottawan.

Their other big hit in the UK was "Hands Up, Give Me Your Heart", which sticks in my memory 'cos it earned me a slap from a French exchange student at a disco in my teens. I was trying to chat her up and impress her with my O-level French but in my translation of this song, "your heart" came out as something very rude in French, apparently.

Hi Graham!

Ottawan is correct!  :)

Interesting story about that one song and the trouble it got you in... ;D ;)

*Bump*

*Bump Bump*

is 8. nothings gonna stop us now by jefferson starship.-never mind, these ones are not R & B singers.

is 8. nothings gonna stop us now by jefferson starship.


Ah! That famous RnB duo...Jefferson & Starship...!!

Not right, whitewolf...so I'll throw in an extra titbit whilst young Karen's not looking...

I'm looking for a male and female duo here, who both had solo successes (the female moreso than the male...)

8 is (hopefully) Tonight I celebrate My Love for you-Roberta Flake and ?? brison

I guess my answers don't count, since other quizes were updated and this one wasn't.

hiya Paul..is #8 Mcfadden & Whitheead?  ???

You're awfully quick to jump to conclusions there, whitewolf...

Your answer is correct, but your spelling of the artists' names was really off.  The song is by Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson.

hiya Paul..is #8 Mcfadden & Whitheead?   ???


I'm sorry, Maria...that is incorrect.  :-\\

I'm sorry, Maria...that is incorrect.  :-\\
