Hey, now that you've narrowed it down, I was able to get one!

72. WOMAN + 18. IN LOVE = 49. PEOPLE (Barbra Streisand)

I would also imagine the Village People song goes with Barbra Streisand, but I'm not familiar enough with her work to pick out the matching song. There also can't be many songs with either the word "double" or "vision" in them, and I'm pretty sure "Foreigner" was not the name of a song...

The song in question was not a single, but I would consider it a significant album cut from a major band. YMMV.

Ah, geez. I was trying so hard to find a Pointer Sisters match that I overlooked the obvious....

96. GLORY + 21. DAYS = 64. FIRE (Bruce Springsteen)

Interestingly enough, the Pointers had a minor hit with a song called "American Music," which could also be a match for this game, but all three components for it are already used... and the Bruuuuce match gives us our first use of #21...

55. YOU'RE THE + 38. INSPIRATION + 77. FREE (Chicago)

AND FROM THE FINALE OF COLD CASE!!!!

79. BROWN + 94. SUGAR = 27. WINTER (The Rollings Stones)

One more, as far as I can tell.

Possible song titles in remaining artists:

39. NORMAN (Sue Thompson - but no Sad Movies or Paper Tiger)
53. LEGEND (Is there a song called Legend)?
86. WONDER (Not familiar enough with Natalie Merchant to see if this works)
94. FIREBALL(S) - Pitbull

Anything used in a Cold Case ending is fair game. That's one of my unspoken rules.

Natalie Merchant's songs are as one-worded as they are awful... and I'd imagine her 10,000 Maniacs stuff wouldn't apply.

I'm still shocked there isn't a Three Dog Night song (Or at least one I can identify) for "One." One Direction seems like an odd choice to use just for a title that had the word "song" in it unless Frank was wanting to double-use it because of the band's name...

UNLESS the "One" isn't Three Dog Night.

84. BEAUTIFUL + 69. DAY = 11. ONE (U2)?

Ha! Just like with Fire, I was focused on the wrong artiste....

Thanks for the great game, Frank!
