OK, finally thought of one:

The song Mbube was written and performed by South African artist Solomon Linda in 1939. What #1 song (Billboard Hot 100) in the US & UK did this become?

One of the most successful disco acts of the 70s included three men who became incredibly successful producers and studio musicians as well. The men: Edwards, Rodgers, Thompson. What was the name of their group?

That's ma'am to you. :p I'll stick with the Disco and gender-bending themes for the next question.

What Disco artist did the Weather Girls (of "It's Raining Men" fame) sing backup vocals for in the '70s?

One of the artist's songs played during Billy Ray Valentine's party in Trading Places
