I think Peter Cetera had a top 40 hit in 1992 with "Restless Heart", and Restless Heart was also the name of a country music group who had 3 top 40 hits, including 1987's "I'll Still Be Loving You", 1992's "And She Cries" (their only top 10 pop hit) and 1993's "Tell Her What She Wants" (I am not sure what the title was exactly). Restless Heart (the band) and Peter Cetera's song of the same name were both on the top 40 around the same time.
Interestingly enough, Restless Heart's "I'll Still Be Loving You" was the last country song to appear on AT40 until "Achy Breaky Heart" made it to AT40 5 years later.

If we go beyond the 70s and 80s, there's Domino (a rapper who hit the Top 40 in Billboard and also Casey's Top 40 but I don't think hit AT40), and the songs "Domino" by Van Morrison and Jessie J (and if we deal with plurals, there's also "Dominoes" by Robbie Nevil).

RH's followup to "When She Cries" was "Tell Me What You Dream". Those songs charted on AT40 and CT40 several months after Cetera's hit.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet:
"Gloria" by Laura Branigan, circa 1982.
And there were at least two recording artists named Gloria that entered the top 40. Gaynor and Estefan are two prime examples.

One other example I just realized (and this is a true example):
A band called Survivor had hits in the 1980s. "Survivor" was also a big hit in 2001 for Destiny's Child (did that go to #1?).

^ Well, this thread is related to AT40 for the most part. Survivor hit #1 with "Eye Of The Tiger" in 1982, and Destiny's Child's song must have hit #1 on AT40.

Voices That Care, but that was in 1991. This appears to be the highest peaking song certainly in the pre-Soundscan era in which the title and artist are the same. "Voices That Care" peaked at 11 and for those who forgot myself included until I heard this yesterday, this was a benefit song for the Persian Gulf war in the same vain as "Do They Know It's Christmas" or "We Are the World". Several superstar artists and as part of a backing choir, celebrities from other walks of life participated. It was arranged and written by David Foster with Peter Cetera a co-writer.

If memory serves me right, the group Linear had a song called "T.L.C." while the group T.L.C. was in the Top 40 with "Ain't Too Proud To Beg." TLC (the song) was on the top 40 the same week that TLC (the group) had at least the song "Baby-Baby-Baby" in the top 40 in June 1992.

I thought of another one this week. Has anybody mentioned America? There's the "Horse With No Name" group, and the early 1980's song by Neil Diamond.

On this weekend's episode of Ryan Seacrest's AT40, Nicki Minaj has a song called "Starships". Remove the "s" on the end, and you get the same group who hit #1 in 1985 with "We Built This City".

Rose Garden
Group by that name charted "Last Plane to London" in late 1967; was top 40 on Billboard's hot 100 chart. Lynn Anderson charted "Rose Garden" in Winter 1971; also was top 40.
Slightly outside the 70's - 80's timeframe, but still relevant IMO.

On that same chart, there is a group called Fun; add an extra F to the beginning and that's the title of a song that was a hit for Con Funk Shun in 1978; in triplicate, their name was a Beach Boys hit in 1964. And the group Train's name, doubled, was a hit for Blackfoot in 1979-80. There's also the Wanted; drop the "the" and they share the name of a 1954 #1 hit for Perry Como.
