    Looking for a song by a duet from 1986. With a little background knowledge of these bands you can give me the two in the duet and the song. This male and female (in that order) sang one duet and are related to these bands.

    Chicago + Pure Prairie League = [singers / song]

    The duet has a male singer from Chicago and a female singer who is married to a singer from Pure Prairie League. That should help.

    @Watching_The_Wheels I would guess you are correct. Give us a new one if you have one in mind.

    These are not correct. Here’s a general clue for the theme of all 3 songs:
    “These are only 3 song examples - Exactly 9 more songs would be needed to make this equation complete”

    1. Guns N Roses -- November Rain
    2. Green Day -- Wake Me Up When September Ends?
    3. Simon & Garfunkel -- A Hazy Shade Of Winter?

    Theme: Seasons?

    Songs 1 and 2 are correct. Although the theme is close, it’s not correct. I’ll let it simmer a little more before I give the answer...

    Song #3 is “April Come She Will” and the theme was “months”

    @deckerp - you got 2 out of 3 so you’re up!

    Song - originally written for a movie released in 1955. 3 different singers hit the top 10 for this song in 1955. It was again in the top 10 in 1995. It has been a hit in many, many countries, also making the top 10 in U.K. in 1955. It has been nominated for an Emmy, and a Grammy, and is still one of my favorites of all time.

    I can’t edit. It was nominated for an Oscar, not an Emmy. It was actually nominated for and won many awards, including songwriters hall of fame. It was recorded by many, including Elvis.
