Quick Facts Single by Johnny Duncan, from the album Johnny Duncan ...

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).
