You are right about #25 and #27 and I missed the listing for Let’s Dance as I was mistakenly looking in the weeks column. My reference for the title of Angie comes from Joel Whitburn’s Top 40 Hits - 8th Edition under his notes for David Bowie. I will see what further info I can find.
“Something Stupid,” Frank & Nancy Sinatra (father/daughter)
“Deep Purple,” Nino Tempo & April Stevens (brother/sister)
“(They Long to Be Close to You),” et al., by the Carpenters (brother/sister)
“I’ll Take You There,” & “Lets’ Do It Again,” The Staple Singers (father Roebuck ‘Pops’ Staples, daughter Mavis Staples, and at least two other of Pops’ kids)
“Family Affair,” et al., Sly and the Family Stone (the band featured Sly Stone with various siblings & cousins)
“I Get Around,” et al., The Beach Boys (brothers Brian, Carl & Dennis Wilson, plus cousin Mike Love)
“Cathy’s Clown,” et al., The Everly Brothers
“I Want You Back,” et al., The Jackson 5 (brothers)
[pre-rock] “Sam’s Song,” Bing & Gary Crosby (father/son)
The Captain & Tenille (Their #1’s: “Love Will Keep Us Together” & “Do ThatTo Me One More Time”)
Did the Osmonds (or Donny and Marie) have any #1s?
Wings had a few #1’s, though I don’t know if man-wife is the sort of familial connection for which you are looking.
(Sorry for the lame-ass answers, btw.)

26. Again deviating from a previous question dealing with #1 songs with American cities, what are the #1 songs that contain the name of a state in their title?
Being a Georgia boy, I’d be remiss if I didn’t know that “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight and the Pips (1973) “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” by Vicky Lawrence (also 1973) were #1 hits.
Also, there’s “Hotel California” by the Eagles (1977).
I’m sure there are others, but they’re not coming to me right now.
29. These #1 songs all reference a more general sense of time (morning, etc.). What were they?
Hmm - off the top of my head, there’s “Strangers in the Night” by Sinatra, “Wonderland by Night” by Bert Kamfert, “Morning Atfer” by Maureen McGovern, the hideous “Afternoon Delight” by Starlight Vocal Band.
Kind of a stretch are “Delta Dawn” by Helen Reddy and “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot.
Also:
“Stayin’ Alive,” et al., The Bee Gees (brothers Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)
“Best of My Love,” The Emotions (three sisters named Hutchinson)
“Leader of the Pack,” The Shangi-Las (Marge & Betty-Ann Ganser, and I think the other two girls in the band may have been a pair of sisters as well)
Also, sticking with that state, “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles
You know, that was the first thing I thought of, but I can’t find where Ray Charles had a #1 hit with that song!
By the way, here is the list I’m looking at.
When I originally put my list together I had quite a few entries that covered siblings, extended families, and father/son etc. Here’s my list:
[ul]
[li]Obviously the Captain & Tennille’s two #1 would be included.[/li][li]The Brown’s (1959 with The Three Bells) were also a group of brothers/sisters.[/li][li]Add 1963’s Hey, Paula though they (Ray Hildebrand and Jill Jackson) technically did not become husband/wife until shortly after the release of the song.[/li][li]You discuss the Beach Boys.[/li][li]Sonny & Cher’s I Got You Babe (husband/wife though technically not married until 1969)[/li][li]1967’s Something Stupid by Frank/Nancy Sinatra (already mentioned)[/li][li]1969’s aforementioned Everyday People by Sly & Family Stone along with their other #1 songs[/li][li]1970’s (and thereafter) Jackson 5’s #1 hits[/li][li]Aforementioned #1 by the Osmond’s (my body cringes if I have to actually type out the names of the songs in addition to their name).[/li][li]1971’s listed Paul & Linda McCartney Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey[/li][li]1972’s Staple Singers I’ll Take You There, 1973’s Let’s Get It On and 1975’s Let’s Do It Again[/li][li]1976’s Bellamy Brothers Let Your Love Flow[/li][li]Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis (husband/wife) 1976’s You Don’t Have To Be A Star …[/li][li]All of the Bee Gee’s #1’s[/li][li]Do you count Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine?[/li][/ul]
Oh My God! You didn’t include Georgia on My Mind SHAME ON YOU
Didn’t see your later post until I had already jumped on the response button!
Looks like they missed it themselves because it was #1 in 1960!
Should have gone with my gut. I now see they have it as a single mistakenly listed under the albums. I was stunned to see that not only (according to their list) was it not a #1, it didn’t even make the top 100!
Just wanted to let everyone know that there are still some unanswered questions from the last group, which have been repeated above so you don’t have to flip back to Page 2.
Questions 25, 26 (partial), 27, 29 (partial), 30 and 31 have been answered although I wonder if ZeroGyro has had a chance to further research the origins of the Rolling Stone’s song Angie referenced in Question #27.
Someone out there has the answers!
Still more siblings at #1:
“Jump” Van Halen (brothers Eddie & Alex Van Halen)
“Alone” and “These Dreams,” Heart (sisters Ann & Nancy Wilson)
“(I Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection,” Nelson (twin bros Matthew & Gunnar Nelson)
“Hold On,” et al by Wilson Philips (sisters Carnie & Wendy Wilson)
“Need You Tonight,” INXS (included the Farris brothers)
“I’m Too Sexy,” Right Said Fred (included the Fairbrass brothers)
“Sincerely,” and “Sugartime,” The McGuire Sisters
“Hearts of Stone,” The Fontaine Sisters
“Boogie Fever,” The Sylvers
Parent-child combos at #1:
“I Think I Love You” The Partridge Family (Shirley Jones & stepson David Cassidy)
Husbands and wives at #1:
“Monday, Monday,” The Mamas & the Papas (John & Michelle Philips)
“Dreams,” Fleetwood Mac (John & Christine McVie)
“Dancing Queen,” ABBA (Bjorn was married to Agnethska & Benny was married to Anna-Frid, or maybe Bjorn was married to Anna-Frid and Benny was married to Agnethska, or maybe it was Bjorn and Benny who were married)
“Afternoon Delight,” The Starland Vocal Band (also included two couples, although I have no desire to look up what their names were)
“Mr Sandman,” The Chordettes
“Nine to Five,” Dolly Parton
“Morning Train (Nine to Five),” Sheena Easton
“Quarter to Three,” Gary ‘US’ Bonds
Starland Vocal Band were Bill & Taffy Danoff and John Carroll and future wife Margot Chapman - the band also fronted the group “Fat City” which provided backing vocals for John Denver’s first #1 hit Take Me Home, Country Roads
Wilson Phillips not only had the Wilson sisters (father Brian Wilson of Beach Boys) but they had Chynna Phillips who was the daughter of John & Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & Papas. What a pedigree amongst this pairing - though IMHO it didn’t reach down to the progeny.
One last bit of extreme trivia is that the McGuire Sisters replaced the Chordettes on the Arthur Godfrey TV show in 1953.
(slight hijack) Is there an online source for Billboard Top whatever lists?
