Living female European Pop singer with a group that charted in the 70’s, whose first name starts with M. Not from Ireland, UK or France, West of the Rhine.

I’m not coming up with much…

148

Me either. Obviously not one of the women in ABBA…

Two clues, as I realise this may be more difficult than I had anticipated;

  1. I was half of a duo.
  2. You may not have realised I was European.
150

I’m grasping at straw here, hoping you actually got a DQ or three wrong.

IQ1: Were you the lead singer of the Fifth Dimension?
IQ2: Are you the female Fleetwood Mac member married to the bassist?

DQ: Half of a male/female duo?

Waiting for your final DQs…

154

How Do You Do? I was born Sjoukje van 't Spijker, and have had a career singing in the Netherlands since the '70s under my married name, Sjoukje Smit, but most Americans would know me by the name I used when working with Willem “Big Mouth” Duyn.

I am Maggie MacNeal, of Mouth & MacNeal.
