hello steve hope this helps.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-on e_singles_from_the_1950s_%28UK%29

[northboy]

as you can see the music charts did not originally start till 1952.ie:-the selling of vinyl records.
so on that list should tell you..

Blimey. It was Wendy Richard - human cannonball - with Mike Sarne, "Come Outside", 1962

I think the Everly Brothers and The Kalin Twins must have come way before then, late 50s. No doubt Northboy's link will prove it

Bit of a difference between a duet and a double act...

[johnny37]

Duet is two people isn't it?

[delboy3]

A musical duet is a pairing of two people who don't regularly work together, e.g. Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins & Philip Bailey, Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue, etc.

The Everly Brothers and other such duos were a constant double act.
