Hi Phylo! :)
You are correct on both.
I think you're right about "Time For Me To Fly" being late-70's. For some reason I'd always thought it was from like '80 or '81... :-[

Hi Jeff!
Yes, you've identified the right artist!
I knew that would be pretty obvious from the clues I put down.

Let's face it...how many other celebs have been caught in that position...?!
Anyway...he was singing 'A Different Corner' (#6.)
The artist to #2. must be Boz Scaggs, but what he's singing I don't know (I lost track of him after 1980...)

4. Eddie Mahoney, "Endless Nights"

That's correct, Paul! :)

Yep, that'd be the artist!
I believe this was his last Top 40 hit...real good song, if you ask me. Maybe somebody else will know the name of it...
