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

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

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.

Sir Michael Philip Jagger and Keith (no middle name) Richards

Eleanor Louise Greenwich and Joel Adelberg (aka Jeff Barry) +/- Harvey Phillip Spector

Barry Imberman/Cynthia Weil

Barrett Strong/Norman Jesse Whitfield

Nicholas David "Nick" Banks/Jarvis Branson Cocker/Candida Mary Doyle/Stephen Patrick Mackey/Mark Andrew Webber

poor Russel Senior

Reginald Kenneth Dwight / Bernard John Taupin

Sir Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, CBE/Sir Robin Hugh Gibb CBE/Sir Maurice Ernest Gibb, CBE

John Symon Asher Bruce, Peter Ronald Brown

Jerome Leiber/Michael Stoller

Ha, been meaning to look that one up

I was actually surprised by McCartney and Stipe.

How so?

I've known about them for most of my life, but was not aware that they go by middle names. Their first names are James and John, respectively.

Neil Francis Tennant and Christopher Sean Lowe

Joseph Paul Florio / Lee Julian Pockriss

^That's great

Johannes Hendrikus Jacob van den Berg, George Redburn Young

André George Previn, Dorothy Veronica Langan (*later switched to Previn)

Lewis Allan Reed/John Davies Cale, OBE
(although I must admit could only find two songs with them credited as sole co-writers, and then a few more with the rest of the band)

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

Mark E. Smith/Steve Hanley/Marc Riley/Craig Scanlon

incorrect

John Godfrey Knauff, Albert Gumm

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
