Wallace Daniel Pennington, Dewey Lindon Oldham, Jr.

Jerome Solon Felder, Mort Shuman

Ralf Hütter/Florian Schneider-Esleben(/Karl Bartos)(/Werner Emil Schult)

James, the category here is _noted songwriting teams_, right? I did not find significant credits for a team that included Bunny (he has solo credits). There are, however, some Marley/Tosh collabs.

Yes, you are right. Thank you for researching that properly. I figured that might be the case.

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.

Jamal Gerard Grinnage, Eric Murray

Michael Santiago Render, Jaime Stuart Meline

Kamaal Ibn John Fareed (né Jonathan Davis), Malik Isaac Taylor, Ali Shaheed Muhammad Jones, Jarobi White

^ I don’t believe there are any songs written by this team — maybe a b-side or something? probably not especially notable if so

pretty sure the whole first record is

Label credit says "Written, produced and mixed by A Tribe Called Quest." Individual tracks give credits to individual names, but those also include e.g. Lou Reed and Roy Ayers. So I guess it might come down to how you define "songwriter" in this context?

(Ali & Tip are credited for Can I Kick It? on The Anthology)

Peter John Bellotte, Giovanni Giorgio Moorer, Donna Adrian Gaines

Moroder, damn autocorrect

George Edward Clinton, William Earl Collins,George Bernard Worrell Jr
