Hey Claude! :D

You are correct, and the artist I was looking for is the one who has not had a hit in more than 10 years...which would be Van Morrison. ;)

Hi Paul!

You got 3 for 3 there...yes, even the KC & The Sunshine Band song! KC went on to have a couple of solo hits but "Please Don't Go" was the last chart topper he had with his band. :)

I don't pay much attention to the charts, but I thought Joel's last top-10 hit was "River of Dreams".

Bonus points for anyone who knows who sang backup in "All About Soul", though. :)
