Ha, been meaning to look that one up

I was actually surprised by McCartney and Stipe.

How so?

I've known about them for most of my life, but was not aware that they go by middle names. Their first names are James and John, respectively.

Neil Francis Tennant and Christopher Sean Lowe

Joseph Paul Florio / Lee Julian Pockriss

^That's great

Johannes Hendrikus Jacob van den Berg, George Redburn Young

André George Previn, Dorothy Veronica Langan (*later switched to Previn)

Lewis Allan Reed/John Davies Cale, OBE
(although I must admit could only find two songs with them credited as sole co-writers, and then a few more with the rest of the band)

George Edward Clinton/William Earl Collins/George Bernard Worrell Jr

Mark E. Smith/Steve Hanley/Marc Riley/Craig Scanlon

incorrect

John Godfrey Knauff, Albert Gumm

Patty Smith Hill, Mildred Jane Hill

This is one I didn't know anything about until today, but it is onomastically resplendent: Matilda Genevieve Scaduto / Diadorius Boudleaux Bryant.

I vaguely knew that a team (credited as Felice & Boudleaux Bryant) wrote "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie." They're also responsible for "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Love Hurts," and "Rocky Top."

Seriously, Diadorius Boudleaux?

^ amazing

Much less resplendent:

John Harold Kander, Fred Ebb

(yes, Fred Ebb was his full name)

Still picking my way through the treasure trove deposited here by SlimAndSlam.

Jerry Galen Foster and Wilburn Steven Rice. Dallas June Frazier and Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery.

A bit surprised that wee got to Kander & Ebb this late.

Seems like most of the big "&" teams were knocked out pretty early. Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Lerner & Leowe, Leopold & Loeb, Salt & Pepa, Bangers & Mash.

Wrack & Ruin, Trouble & Strife

Fortnum & Mason had some major hits back in the day iirc

Laurin Rinder & W. Michael Lewis

Art Barnes & Artie Barnes

Gene Francis Alan Pitney/Aaron Harold Schroeder

Gary Lee Weinrib, Alexandar Zivojinovich, Neil Ellwood Peart

Basya "Betty Comden" Cohen and Adolph Green and Leonard Bernstein(/Julius Kerwin "Jule Styne" Stein/Andreas Ludwig "Andre Previn" Priwin/Alan Jay Lerner/Charles Strouse/Seymour "Cy Coleman" Kaufman/Roger Edens)

Samuel "Sammy Cahn" Cohen and Julius Kerwin "Jule" Stein

Enotris Johnson, Robert Alexander Blackwell, Richard Wayne Penniman

Michael Henry Flanders, Donald Ibrahim Swann

Charles Weedon Westover, Maxfield Doyle Crook

Was just thinking of doing that one. So now

Hoagland Howard Carmichael, John Herndon Mercer

Thomas Wesley Pentz, David James Andrew Taylor, Christopher Leacock & Leighton Paul Walsh

Karl Martin Sandberg & Dag Krister Volle

Axel Christofer Hedfors, Sebastian Carmine Ingrosso, Steven Angello Josefsson Fragogiannis

Also, don’t know how noted their collaboration was, but Boudleaux apparently also wrote some songs with James Cecil Dickens

Too bad Ian Lloyd and Michael Brown didn’t co-write any hits
