We're #1! (Part One) - Random Trivia Questions

Hundreds of solo artists, duos, and groups have topped the Billboard Hot 100 at least once. Can you name the following chart-topping groups given the names of their founding members (not necessarily the ones that actually hit #1)? Some musicians who are too famous aren't listed. Give yourself a bonus point for each #1 song you can name. [Hint: this week's groups all debuted between 1954 and 1976.]
