Featuring harmony vocals, and a solo line at a key point in the song's third verse by session vocalist Janie Fricke, "Thinkin' of a Rendezvous" was Duncan's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in December 1976. A two-week run atop the country chart was part of a 13-week stay in the country chart's top 40.[2]

The song — about a family man who meets up with a woman, a long-time friend with whom he had a secret affair a year earlier — was the first of two Duncan-Fricke duets to top the charts. The follow-up song, "It Couldn't Have Been Any Better", went number one in April 1977, and the two enjoyed several other duet hits, most notably "Stranger" (written by Kris Kristofferson, and a hit in July 1976) and "Come a Little Bit Closer" in January 1978 (a cover of the Jay and the Americans).

gollark: Allowing *other people* to do the same thing you're planning to would arguably be better, since then there would be people able to pick what they like other than just the moderators.
gollark: That is... an odd way to abbreviate my name.
gollark: It doesn't seem like it would actually work that way. It seems like it'll just be "investing in memes the moderators like".
gollark: Yes, that would be good.
gollark: It seems like the alternative to "people invest in memes from their firms" would just be to have people blindly invest in anything you flag as "going to be popular" here, which... doesn't seem better? And would actually be quite like the old days of MemeBot.
