    Here is a pair of artist doing a good song together. This is their only hit together that comes to mind.

    Bruce Springsteen + saxophone + almost out of gas artist = [artists/song]

    Bruce Springsteen & Jackson Browne/ Running On Empty?

    One of the correct artists. Wrong song. Maybe I should have included a clue for the song. So far those are just the artists in the clues, but like I said, this is the only song they ever did together (I think).

    Bruce Springsteen + saxophone + almost out of gas artist = [artists/song]

    May require some research. I'm not much of a Springsteen fan, but I do know his sax player.

    Definition:
    Mashup: MA` sh * up: (n)
    The would-be song if two artists mashed their titles together
    Example:
    Artist: George Gerswin and the Elvis =
    Song: I can't give you anything but LOVE Me tender

    This 3 song Mashup from

    Let's keep the Mashup theme going -
    I'll give you 3 artists (in order) and you have to provide the 3 connecting songs.

    1. Crystal Gayle
    2. Willie Nelson
    3. B.J. Thomas

    Just to add to the confusion without giving any solution.

    Crystal Gayle -- Half The Way -- Talking In Your Sleep -- Just You And I (with Eddie Rabbit)

    Willie Nelson -- On The Road Again -- Good Hearted Woman -- To All The Girls I've Loved Before -- Always On My Mind

    B.J. Thomas -- Rock and Roll Lullaby -- Hooked On A Feeling -- I Just Can't Help Believing -- Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song -- Don't Worry Baby -- Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

    Now I need to shop for some greatest hits CDs......

    I think this was a one hit wonder but a good one.

    A room for display or sale of art / very good to accompany you = [band/song]

    As I investigated my own post I found the band also had a hit with a cover of another performer's song. I can use that as a clue if needed.

    Although I don't know the band..this hint makes it too easy (i think, assuming I got it right that is)

    Gallery / Its Nice to be with you.

    (what was the cover?)

    Maybe something like "I Wish" but that's Stevie Wonder.
