Obviously having lived in France for almost 20 years, my perception of miles is a bit off. I could have sworn it was 5,000 miles but anyway, I'm glad my miscalculation didn't put you off....

Sorry, wrong on first two which are duets, rather than acts which were duos (yes, I'm being picky). The last one is half correct, the artistes are wrong. Have another go with a more modern duo....(there were three Isley Brothers anyway)
 
Struggling to find a more modern duo but can find an earlier version by the original writers - Seals and Crofts.

Ahhh...that's correct. In error I thought the Iselys came before Seals and Crofts. Have an extra house point for persistence :-rofl2
