Barbra Streisand shared the Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy for "Evergreen" with Paul Williams(original song).
Who is the only artist to have won all three major awards for a top 40 hit without sharing the Oscar, Golden Globe & Grammy?
Clue: Carly Simon's song from the movie "Working Girl" only reach #49. She is the only other artist to win the Oscar, Golden Globe & Grammy for original song without sharing.

You a correct, frente. "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen from Philadelphia.
This weekend on the American Top 40 the 70's, you will hear a song written by Springsteen right after a song by Barbra Streisand(02/05/77).

Here's one I thought of years ago and never had an outlet to post before:
In 1984, James Ingram and Michael McDonald sang together on "Yah Mo B There." What other unique thing do these two singers have in common?

No answer for the last one, but I have one... This is true of The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats, Domino by Van Morrison, Daydream Believer by Anne Murray, Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney & Wings, and all nine of Andy Gibb's Top 40 hits.
The answer's related to chart positions.
Hint added: No US chart other than Billboard need be consulted.

What other unique thing do these two singers have in common? I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for, but they each had a number one duet with a singer named Patti (Ingram with Austin and McDonald with Labelle).

Yes, that's what I was thinking of.

Well.... as no one has answered or ventured a guess and it's been awhile: All charted higher in the US than in their country of birth. Andy Gibb only had one Top 10 in the UK, that being An Everlasting Love at #10.

Here I think is an easy one:
1. Reach Out, I'll Be There 2. I Love Music 3. Bad Luck 4. T.S.O.P. 5. Fly, Robin, Fly 6. ______________
What is the missing song and what do they all have in common?

This one is not quite as easy as the other trivia questions floating around here. 2,3 and 4 are examples of teh Philly sound. 1,4 and 5 reached #1. All but 1 are disco tunes. That's also the only one not from the 70s although Diana Ross covered it nicely in 1971 IMO. (And I know I am alone with that opinion). But I cannot come up with an answer. The songs are not listed in chronological order so it is not necessarily a mid to late 70s song. But I will venture to say it is a great tune. Next person...lol

Just a wild semi-educated guess: "Philadelphia Freedom"?

Weren't all part of the medley in Ritchie Family's "Best Disco in Town"? The missing title must be "Brazil" the disco version also by the Philly's Ritchie Family.
