IT TAKES TWO: A pair of chart veterans debut on the Hot 100 with their first duet. Patti LaBelle and Ron Isley are teamed on "Gotta Go Solo" (Def Soul Classics), a song that has been on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart for 16 weeks.
Between them, LaBelle and Isley have amassed more than 86 years on the Hot 100. Isley's debut date is clear: "Shout" by the Isley Brothers entered the chart the week of Sept. 21, 1959, giving him a chart span of 45 years, two months and three weeks.
LaBelle's debut is less defined, as there is some question about whether her group, the Bluebelles, were the actual artists on "I Sold My Heart to the Junkman," which debuted the week of April 21, 1962. LaBelle may not have officially debuted until the Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles' single "Down the Aisle," which entered the chart the week of Sept. 14, 1963. That would give her a still-impressive chart span of 41 years and three months.
