'''Fleming and John''' is a musical husband and wife team, Fleming McWilliams and [[John Mark Painter]], currently living in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], United States. 

The couple met while attending [[Belmont University]] in Nashville, and immediately began collaborating on songs. While pursuing a record contract, Painter began playing in studio sessions for artists like [[dc Talk]], [[Sixpence None the Richer]], [[Indigo Girls]], [[Jars of Clay]], [[Nanci Griffith]], and [[Jewel (singer)|Jewel]]. 

In 1994, the band recorded "Harder to Believe than Not To" for ''[[I Predict A Clone: A Steve Taylor Tribute|I Predict A Clone]]'', a tribute album to [[Steve Taylor]]. The following year, the couple released their first album, ''Delusions of Grandeur'' on [[Universal Records]].  [[Ben Folds]], who called Fleming and John "[[the Carpenters]] of the 1990s with [[Led Zeppelin]]'s rhythm section", invited them to open for his band. They continued to perform and record with Folds for many years, with both being featured on Folds' experimental album, [[Fear of Pop: Volume 1]]. 

In 1999, Fleming and John released their second album, ''[[The Way We Are (Fleming and John album)|The Way We Are]]'', which spawned a minor hit with the single "Ugly Girl".

The duo has recorded many cover songs, including "Winter Wonderland" (to the tune of [[Led Zeppelin]]'s "Misty Mountain Hop"), "Eldorado" ([[Electric Light Orchestra]]), "[[California Dreamin']]" ([[The Mamas & the Papas]]), "Somebody to Love" ([[Jefferson Airplane]]), "After the Lovin'" ([[Engelbert Humperdinck (singer)|Engelbert Humperdinck]]). A longtime concert favorite has been [[Sonny & Cher]]'s "[[I Got You Babe]]" to the tune of Zeppelin's "Black Dog".

The band has been dormant since the tour for ''The Way We Are'' finished in the late 1990s. However, they made songs available for purchase on their page on their [[MySpace]] pace, and they successfully funded a 2015 Kickstarter campaign to record a new album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flemingandjohn/fleming-and-john-new-album-2015|title=Fleming and John New Album 2015|work=Kickstarter|access-date=March 27, 2015}}</ref> Initially promised by Christmas that year, as of 2024 the album has still not been released.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flemingandjohn/fleming-and-john-new-album-2015/posts|title=Fleming and John New Album 2015|work=Kickstarter|access-date=July 5, 2024}}</ref>
