Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Tim Powell, Nick Coler, Lisa Cowling, Giselle Sommerville

you might not have read the thread title or any of the posts within btw

Robert Nesta Marley, OM; Winston Hubert McIntosh

Has no one yet done Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht / Kurt Julian Weill

I don't know if this counts, but Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most noted librettists were Lorenzo da Ponte and Johann Joseph Schickeneder

Michael Stock / Matthew James Aitken / Peter Alan Waterman, OBE

Nile Gregory Rodgers, Jr. / Bernard Edwards

Robert Nesta Marley, OM; Winston Hubert McIntosh

What about Neville O'Riley Livingston OM, if not Franklin Delano Alexander Braithwaite?

Wallace Daniel Pennington, Dewey Lindon Oldham, Jr.

Jerome Solon Felder, Mort Shuman

Thomas Randolph Bell, Linda Diane Creed

This is one I didn't know anything about until today, but it is onomastically resplendent: Matilda Genevieve Scaduto / Diadorius Boudleaux Bryant.

I vaguely knew that a team (credited as Felice & Boudleaux Bryant) wrote "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie." They're also responsible for "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Love Hurts," and "Rocky Top."

Seriously, Diadorius Boudleaux?

^ amazing

Much less resplendent:

John Harold Kander, Fred Ebb

(yes, Fred Ebb was his full name)

Still picking my way through the treasure trove deposited here by SlimAndSlam.

Jerry Galen Foster and Wilburn Steven Rice. Dallas June Frazier and Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery.

A bit surprised that wee got to Kander & Ebb this late.

Seems like most of the big "&" teams were knocked out pretty early. Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Lerner & Leowe, Leopold & Loeb, Salt & Pepa, Bangers & Mash.

Wrack & Ruin, Trouble & Strife

Fortnum & Mason had some major hits back in the day iirc

Laurin Rinder & W. Michael Lewis

Art Barnes & Artie Barnes

Gene Francis Alan Pitney/Aaron Harold Schroeder

Gary Lee Weinrib, Alexandar Zivojinovich, Neil Ellwood Peart

Basya "Betty Comden" Cohen and Adolph Green and Leonard Bernstein(/Julius Kerwin "Jule Styne" Stein/Andreas Ludwig "Andre Previn" Priwin/Alan Jay Lerner/Charles Strouse/Seymour "Cy Coleman" Kaufman/Roger Edens)

Samuel "Sammy Cahn" Cohen and Julius Kerwin "Jule" Stein

Enotris Johnson, Robert Alexander Blackwell, Richard Wayne Penniman

Michael Henry Flanders, Donald Ibrahim Swann

Charles Weedon Westover, Maxfield Doyle Crook

Was just thinking of doing that one. So now

Hoagland Howard Carmichael, John Herndon Mercer

Thomas Wesley Pentz, David James Andrew Taylor, Christopher Leacock & Leighton Paul Walsh

Karl Martin Sandberg & Dag Krister Volle

Axel Christofer Hedfors, Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso, Steven Angello Josefsson Fragogiannis

More detail here: http://www.cmt.com/news/1656012/oxford-american-excerpt-felice-and-boudleaux-bryant/

Also, don’t know how noted their collaboration was, but Boudleaux apparently also wrote some songs with James Cecil Dickens

Too bad Ian Lloyd and Michael Brown didn’t co-write any hits

_Was just thinking of doing that one. So now

Hoagland Howard Carmichael, John Herndon Mercer_

Or this latter and Harry Aaron Finkelman

Have we not done Christopher Henry Difford and Glenn Martin Tilbrook?

Or Declan Patrick MacManus, OBE, and Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE?

The revelation that Hoagie's real name was Hoagland is like learning that G'n'R is fronted by one Axlford Rosenshire.

ROFFLE

Jerry Williams Jr. and Gary Levone Anderson

william alexander chilton / christopher branford bell

^good one
Which segues nicely to

Victoria Anne Theresa Peterson Cowsill / Susanna Lee Hoffs

Married to a Cowsill, didn't know that tbh.

You must not have read The Cowsills vs The Partridge Family then, at least not in the past few years.

Hardy Winfred Fox, Jr. & Homer Flynn III

Or Old time actors and directors that you were surprised to find out were married to each other once upon a time

the Cowsill / Hoffs one is somewhat of a cheat for "noted team", as it appears to have written a total of one song since that became her name, but I am also interested to learn this marital trivia

Philip Gary Schlein / Steven Barry Lipkin

Came to look for Boyce and Hart but of course they are already here thanks to clemenza.

Walter Carl Becker/Donald Jay Fagen

Gillian Howard Welch / David Todd Rawlings

Glenn K. Sybesma / William James Clayton

Erick Lee Purkhiser / Kristy Marlana Wallace

Alanis Nadine Morissette / Basil Glen Ballard Jr.

Charles Roger Pomfret Hodgson & Richard Davies

Not one for this thread but I don’t know where to put it. Seeing some credits to

Sir George Ivan Morrison

how about

Sir George Ivan Morrison and Eric Patrick Clapton CBE
