Bit of a change

1.  Absolute legendary voice, but never had a Billboard No 1, best they could do was No 2, ironically beaten out by a song they wrote

2.  American legend, but never had a Billboard No 1, but wrote a song that was No 1

3.  Five consecutive No 2's on the Billboard Hot 100, all iconic songs, but never got to No 1

4.  6 different hits with 6 different bands.  Person, bands and songs

5.  Amazingly this group only had 1 UK No 1 and 1 Us No 1

6.  What group is this, same group in both pics

7.  Who is the female singer on stage and as a young girl

The Yardbirds 

Yep

First pic, a very young Eric Clapton far left.  Second pic, Jeff Beck far left and Jimmy Page second right, who went on to transform the Yardbirds into the New Yardbirds, who then became Led Zeppelin.

1 and 5 still to answer

1 .  Probably the most recognisable voice around, other than Elvis Presley

5.  This group is huge, and very commercial, so was surprised to see the lack of No 1 singles

5.  Ledzepplin or Pink Floyd

Led Zeppelin had no No 1 hits in UK or USA, I can't see that they released Stairway to Heaven as a single

Pink Floyd actually qualify having reached No 1 in both countries with Another Brick In The Wall

BUT they were not the one I had, this band has a NZ connection

5.....Genesis.

Had a US No 1 with Invisible Touch  and around that time really hit in big in the US with a series of songs going top 5

Never did much in the UK though, which is surprising, considering they are of UK origin
