1. Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, in 1976. That same year, “A Couple More Years” made it (just barely) to the U.S. country chart.

2. Dan Fogelberg, in 1980, 1983 and 1984, respectively. He died in 2007 at age 56.

3. Herman’s Hermits, in 1966. Their 1965 hit, “She’s a Must to Avoid,” was often misheard as “She’s a muscular boy.”

4. Peggy Lee. Many have covered the song, including Bette Midler, and Raquel Welch/Miss Piggy in a duet.

5. Four-part-harmony vocal quartet Manhattan Transfer. Thus far the group has netted 10 Grammys, and a 40th anniversary album of never-before-released material is rumored to be in the works.

6. Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels, in 1966. The song went to No. 4 on the charts.
