From: Jonathan Ostrowsky <jo@SCRC-STONY-BROOK.ARPA> In #282 Sean Colbath asked: Can anyone tell me what group wrote/performed the song '2525' (I think that's the name)? This incredible turkey (one man's opinion; no flames, please) was penned and sung by one Zager and one Evans (I don't remember their first names). As I recall, Zager and Evans were a duo from Nebraska or Kansas who hit the regional charts with this ditty. From there it spread like cancer to the national charts. As far as I know, they had never had another hit prior to "In the Year 2525," and never had one after it.

From: Mijjil <LECIN@RU-BLUE.ARPA> Zager and Evans. Same Michael Zager who had some disco hits in the late 70's. The song goes to 9595, with an epilogue, of sorts, and then starts over as it fades out. (I still have the 45 rpm record...) {Mijjil}
