I like it more than the original "Mean Sleep" by Cree Summer and Lenny Kravitz. When Nikka's voice comes in, it's like pure sunshine.

How is You're The One That I Want related to a Richard Pryor racing car movie?

Welp, now that I can't get Greased Lightening out of my head , I may as well list some of the other tunes I was listening to while doing a duet "deep dive"- maybe it'll help me switch off that Grease earworm; some of these babies I hadn't listened to in years

Most are Marvin and Tammi.

But going back a little further -- Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald recorded some of the great duets of all time. Ella anf Louis (1956) is a classic. Other songs include "Learnin' The Blues" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

I love Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald doing Dream a Little Dream of Me, and Summertime.

Also, Carly Simon and James Taylor's version of Mockingbird.

Great choices.

As much as I've stunned for Ms. Ross for the entirety of my life, how could I have left "Endless Love" off my list???

same here..im a lifelong Diana Ross stan too...i still listen to the Supremes very first hit record,"When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" at least once a week...my mother had told me that when i would cry as a baby, her or my father would play that record, or "In Crowd" by Dobie Gray, and lay me in front of the speakers and i would immediately be quiet and content...if they ever made a movie of my life, those two songs would be the very first songs playing in the soundtrack...ive always LOVED Diana Ross...her performance in "Lady Sings The Blues" is the greatest acting performance of ALL time...and no one can tell me otherwise
