Your fav 80's duets?

• It could be a single or non-single... ballad or uptemto. Doesn't matter.
• If a song is sung by both a male/female of the same act (Example, a song by Rene & Angela), it counts as a 'duet' (technically it's not, but let's make an exception).
• It can be duets of any genre, as long as the song was released in the 1980's.
• No male/male duets or female/female either... Only male/female.

I'll start...

1. "Secret Lovers" - Atlantic Starr

2. "If This World Were Mine" - Luther Vandross/Cheryl Lynn

3. "Make It Last Forever" - Keith Sweat/Jacci McGhee

4. "Endless Love" - Lionel Richie/Diana Ross

5. "If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful" - Whitney Houston/Jermaine Jackson

Shalamar- A Night To Remember (anything with shalamar really)

Cherrelle & Alexander O'neal - Saturday Love

Rene & Angela- I'll Be Good

Atlantic Starr- Secret Lovers

Loose Ends- Hanging on a string
