Two songs, one singer, two songwriters, both big hits
Clue # 1
I was quite surprised who the songwriter was on one of the songs...the songwriter was a great singer as well....
Clue #2
The songs are connected other than the same singer
Clue # 3
The singer is a multi-talented individual
Clue # 4
Both songs made it big at exactly the same time....one at #1, the other at # 9

Okay, looks like the singer is Ricky Nelson, #1 in 1958 was “Poor Little Fool.” His number 9 hit in this game was “Hello Marylou” written by another great singer Gene Pitney. And I guess the NYC party was the inspiration for “Garden Party.”
Hello Mary Lou is Correct....I talked about the party to lead you to Ricky...Garden Party is not the second song...don't forget both songs were a hit at the same time...HML was # 9 ...the other song was # 1
HML was in 1961...Garden Party was in 1972
The G in the scramble stands for Gene

Travelin' Man is correct Craig written by Jerry Fuller with Sam Cooke in mind but Cooke's manager turned it down and was then given to Nelson.....both songs were released on the same single in 1961 as "double A side
Congrats Craig ! You are the winner
Second song

Great game, great songs! I was sidetracked looking at Merv Griffin and Barry Manilow for a time. Ricky Nelson dumped his studio musicians at one time because they were raised in jazz and big bands. Looked down on rock. Nelson called them ‘squares.’ Great artist!
as a video guy I was stunned that they shot the video of the song with 1 camera and 1 take.....almost impossible to do but they did it....when you see it you’ll see what I mean

The video is a masterpiece and is considered by many, in the know about shooting videos, to be one of the best continuous motion videos...not only was it a one camera shoot and done in one take, there were 17 musicians and a choir of 60 people involved as well...no one could make a mistake, including the cameraman...no edits of the video...unheard of in music videos
It has had over 400 million you tube views up to Jan 2023

Ok. I'll take a turn. It may take a day or two. I'm not sure how Japov created the note bite.
I guessed it quickly, by google search top rock ,1978...and Van was in top 10, and has a very distinct guitar sound, so I picked that album and it was the first song.
I have a song . I'll just record some of it...means I have to go learn it...so beneficial exercise. Bill
