[edit]"In The Year 2525" was their last top 40 song.
Did they have any others? Bwood 02:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- No. it was their first and last! 152.163.100.198 12:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Intro text wrong?
[edit]"Zager & Evans were a Lincoln, Nebraska rock-pop duo of the late 1960s and early 1970s named after two members, Denny Zager and Rick Evans. Artists Dave Trupp and Mark Dalton backed up the duo."
- I would hope they are the "two members" due to their being a "duo", i will change the wording slightly, - if it reads better as previous please alter it back.Book M 10:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Inconsistencies
[edit]The article is inconsistent with what is written in In_the_Year_2525. I don't know enough about 2525, so I cannot fix it myself, sorry. --11:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know much about it either, but the article also says " 'Mr. Turnkey' failed to chart in the US and UK..." – which contradicts the chart table where it's stated that the single did make #106 in the USA. Muzilon (talk) 04:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Advertising
[edit]Go on Youtube and search Zager Guitars, a cesspool of clickbate and bullshit reviews come up. They are known to spam forums. The bastards even vandalized this Wikipedia article by adding bullshit like: "Over the past 20 years Denny Zager has built and reworked thousands of guitars and honed his skills eventually making his brand of Zager Guitars known for their ease in playability". I'm going to nuke that statement and remove the links to their website. Wikipedia is not, and should not be an advertising platform for desperate companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowbambootree (talk • contribs) 12:34, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Unclear sentence (about who died).
[edit]"Evans was largely retired from public life, but he continued to chat online with Dalton and his best friend, Nashville producer Gary Earl, until his death in April, 2018."
This sentence, in "Today", about half-way down the page, is unclear. Evans died in 2018, or Gary Earl died in 2018? M.J.E. (talk) 17:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Italian version
[edit]RCA 1583 is a Nina Simone recording.[1] They made a Spanish version. AMCKen (talk) 23:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
