Results of my R&B Duos Survey

Just in time for Reptile Appreciation Day (October 19), here are the results of the R&B Duos Survey.

This time, I received 63 responses to the survey (as usual, I didn't vote myself). Of course I'm gonna make a program out of this, but instead of voting, I get to pick which songs I play. Watch for the show in the next few months, and thanks to all who voted.

The big winners were Shirley & Lee, followed closely by Marvin & Johnny, Robert & Johnny, and Johnnie & Joe.

There were, of course, the usual surprises. Even though I tried to make the whole thing easier than a California gubernatorial ballot, I would have doubted that anyone would actually consider Jan & Dean, Skip & Flip, or the Everly Brothers an R&B duo. However, they did get votes (which I cheerfully disregarded).

And now, without too much further delay: THE RESULTS (Ta-Da!)

As usual, I assigned a weight to each vote - 10 points for #1; 9 points for #2; etc.
