The "Musicians Who Turn 50", "Musicians Who Turn 60", "Favorite Drummer" and "Favorite Guitarist" were such hit threads on FR, I've decided to do this one.
Who is your favorite SONGWRITING DUO?
We all know that Lennon-McCartney were amazing together and possibly the best songwriting duo ever. They might be mentioned several times on this thread. If you choose John & Paul, be specific about which song and lyric(s).
Ah, lemme sleep on it...
Bears repeating.
I did a search and found that list, but I wasn’t aware that they wrote that one together.(Who Put the Bomp?)
Thought of another one that I was trying to remember earlier. Ashford and Simpson

” Andy Partridge/Colin Moulding - XTC “
Not a “ duo “ as in “ team “ as they wrote their own tunes individually . But in the strictest sense of the word YES ! I second it !
It has to be Rodgers and Hammerstein.
I love all their compositions in Egg Duck Soup.
Sorry.
I meant to type Flower Drum Song.
Getting hungry. I think I am going to have Chinese tonight.
By the way, you gotta read Lorenzo's biography.
I concur. Of course, I just saw them in concert together last Friday, so my view may be a bit slanted in their favor.
Page/Plant
Jagger/Richards
Jimi/Hendrix
Wright/Pfleger

With you it’s all er nuthin’.
All fer you and nuthin’ fer me!
But if a wife is wise, she’s gotta realize
That men like you are wild and free.
So I ain’t gonna fuss, ain’t gonna frown,
Have your fun, go out on the town,
Stay up late and don’t come home till three.
And go right off to sleep if you’re sleepy,
There’s no use waitin’ up fer me!
