Amazing Duets

I was cleaning my house, and this song shuffled thru...
I sat down and just listened...




Any others?

Rick James and Teena Marie always come to mind... music

"Love Hurts.
Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

-Cher, "Woman's World"

Alexander Oneal & Cherelle Saturday Love all time favorite and I really don't understand why no one of note has remade this gem. Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton Islands in Stream is another one.
1 over Jordan...the greatest since

"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

I submit few duos of the 20th century ranked with Marvin and Tammi, if any.

That being said, some of my choices --

"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing," Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
"You're All I Need To Get By," Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
"Learning The Blues," Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
"Make It Last Forever," Keith Sweat feat. Jaci McGhee (a New Jack classic)
"Never Knew Love Like This," Cherelle feat. Alexander O'Neal (or vice versa)
"The Old Country," Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley (great duets need not be completely vocal!)
"My One and Only Love," Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane (nor coed)
"U Got The Look," Prince feat. Sheena Easton
"Fire and Desire," Rick James feat. Teena Marie

I also like "More Than A Woman," Angie Stone feat. Calvin (not the radio verson feat. Joe, IIRC).

They were astounding together. Two of the most distinctive and influential voices of the 20th century.

I forgot all about that one! That was one of the songs I use to run to the ground from Karyn White's cassette.

I always giggle seeing that photo.
The way Freddie and the Queen-bassplayer (name skips me now) look at the camera,
and the way how excited Mikey looks as a happy jack to Freddie lol

I agree about Cheryl and Luther's cover of If This World Were Mind.

Here are some duets that I think are amazing:

I Who Have Nothing - Luther and Martha Wash
At The Concert - Michael Henderson and Robert Flack
I Love You - Keith Washington and Chante Moore
Candlelight and You - Keith Washington and Chante Moore
Make It Last Forever - Keith Sweat and Jacci McGhee
Happy - Rick and Teena
