Those titles are all correct, though I had other artists in mind for nrs. 8, 15 and 23. Anyone...? ???

#19 Just The Two Of Us - Bill Withers
There's another artist credited for this song (along with Bill Withers). You know his/her name..? ???

Nancy Sinatra, maybe?

You're halfway there...it's a duet with a male singer (obviously!).

Doc Brown has PM'ed me about the other artist credited for #19, and he was right.

Lee Hazlewood?

My mistake (again). Of course Johnny Nash is the right artist.(I was misled by the fact that his version never made it in The Netherlands)

Correct on the title, Karen. I'm not sure if Lionel Richie ever covered this song (not sure of anything anymore!), but I'm looking for a band (major clue: lead singer Erroll Brown).

I'm usually terrible with anything pre-1990s, and three I knew have already been done, so hope I'm right with these...
#4. 'It Only Took A Minute' by Mandy Moore.
#10. 'I'm Alone' by Deep Purple.

I had no idea who had done it really. Lionel Richie was just a guess.
Hot Chocolate :)
Of course

#10. 'I'm Alone' by Deep Purple.
Oooooh! :o You're so terribly close on those titles... :-\\ #4 needs a change of tense (and another artist), and #10 contains one word too many (and also requires another artist). The funny thing is: #10 is actually POST 1990...(1995 to be exact).

Say, would #16 be Jewel's "Jupiter? If so, I've caught my limit.
However, Jupiter is not "Beyond the Milky Way", it's in our own Solar System.

Now when I said "she's on it", I was referring to the guys who sang that song (if that's any help). ;)
