I'm ready this time.

1966 -Singer/Songwriter A (far better known as a singer than as a writer) has a huge hit with a song written by Singer/Songwriter B.

1969 - Singer/Songwriter B (a far more successful writer than singer) has his only US chart record as an artist with a song written by Singer/Songwriter A.

Name the singer/songwriters and the tunes.

Correct!

(an afterthought, Thrasher also did more obscure releases, but well- you were fast and right on the money!)
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

Sorry, Mike Love is an incorrect answer.

I thought SoT was being amusing.


I can understand that, Pete. Brian, Mike, and Carl actually did numerous backing vocs with an array of artists. IIRC they weren't even always credited. And Mike is not really an obvious answer.

I think he did basically every LP release on the Warners labels for many years.

P.F. Sloane and Barry McGuire? "Eve of Destruction" and...?

Eh, I was totally bluffing.

Oh well! I don't have a question anyway and I'm off to my office holiday party.

This is driving me nuts... I keep getting a possible answer and then having it blown away by the second half of the equation.

I think we need clues Charlie!

Just spotted this question.

A is Bobby Darin, with Tim Hardin's 'If I Were A Carpenter'.

B is Tim Hardin, with Bobby Darin's 'Simple Song Of Freedom'.

I think!

Thanks, Charlie - great question.

I'm busy for the next few days, so if anyone would like to set a question...?
