CLUEAGE
It's a TWO-FER. Winding up my hosting chores for the year, here are a couple of songs with the same title. Get one and you get both. I will put the famous * to the name of those who name both artist(s).
Number 1:
Mystery Artist # 1 was (born March 12, 1940 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin). He is an American, Grammy Award–winning jazz singer. Versatile in his singing style, he is a six-time Grammy-nominated vocalist and the only vocalist in history to win a Grammy Award in three separate categories: jazz, pop, and R&B.
As the son of a vicar, he had his first singing experiences in a church choir. He attended Ripon College, where he also sang non-professionally with a group called the Indigos, and graduated in 1962. He went on to earn a master's degree in Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of Iowa, and worked as a rehabilitation counselor in San Francisco before joining a small jazz club trio headed by George Duke and deciding that he would make professional singing his life.
He appeared in such Los Angeles hot spots as Dino's, the Troubadour and Bitter End West. Television exposure came from Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and David Frost, while he expanded his nightclub appearances to include performing at the Improv between the acts of such rising-star comics as Bette Midler, Jimmie Walker, and John Belushi, among others.
He was spotted by Warner Bros. in 1975 and soon thereafter released his critically acclaimed debut album, We Got By, which catapulted him into international fame and garnered him a German Grammy Award. A second German Grammy would follow with the release of his second album, Glow.
One of his most commercially and artistically successful albums is Breakin' Away (1981), which includes the hit song "We're in This Love Together." Among other things, he is well-known for his scat singing and the ability to perfectly imitate conventional guitar, bass and percussive instrumentation. He was also a featured vocalist on USA for Africa's "We are the World" and sang the line, "...and so we all must lend a helping hand."
He has toured and performed with such greats as Joe Sample, Kathleen Battle, Miles Davis, David Sanborn and Rick Braun. He also performed the role of the Teen Angel in a 1996 Broadway production of Grease. On March 6, 2001 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His star is located at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.
He appeared in a duet with American Idol finalist Paris Bennett during the Season 5 finale and on Celebrity Duets singing with actor Cheech Marin.
Number 2:
The female half of a 60s pop duo and Best Actress Oscar winner teams with a guy who once sang with a very popular group from the midwest(29 top 40 songs). The song is from a movie and was nominated for a Best Song Oscar.
Lyric # 1:
Of the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you
Lyric # 2:
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Artist # 1 has never been featured before, so send what you've got. The male part of #2 has not been featured individually, so send what you will. The female part of # 2 has been done three times as a solo artist and four times as part of that famous duo.
For a coveted gold star, tell me what Artist # 1 and 2 have in common besides similarly named songs. And it's gotta be MY connection.
