Which is the best love song duet. Honorable mentions: Always (Atlantic Starr), If I never knew you (Jon Secada, Shanice), Don't go breaking my heart (Elton John..?)
That would be Elton John & KiKi Dee (spelling?). What about the remix of "Unforgettable" with Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole?
What about the ultimate duet combo of all time, Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell, most notably "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "You're All I Need To Get By"? And for pure cheese, "You're The One I Want" from Grease.
Skipshady, I considered "You're the one I Want" but it seemed kinda silly to include. You are absolutely right though about Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell, slipped my mind. I would replace Jerry Butler and Betty Everett with them. Honeychile, I never really liked Natalie's time macine duet with her father. Don't know, just seemed kinda of disjointed to me.
she should imprisoned forever for doing that, what a cheesy woman oh thaaaaat seemed silly? LOL - you're an alright dude jon... but these are about the most piss poor choices ever seen on a BS poll skipshady knows what time it is and how about 'leather and lace' stevie nicks and don henley or 'stop draggin' my heart around' by miss stevie and tom petty
No, she should be shot. Too much of the taxpayers' dollars to imprison her. Great calls. L & L was the wake-up song on my alarm clock one day last week. I'll submit a few offerings in no particular order. Some of these tunes have enough cheese to raise your cholesterol to toxic levels, and some barely make the "love" category, but here goes... 1. The Closer I Get To You- Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway 2. Separate Lives- Phil Collins and someone (can't remember who) 3. Fire & Desire- Teena Marie & Rick James 4. You Don't Bring Me Flowers- Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond 5. Suddenly- Olivia Newton-John & Cliff Richard 6. It's Only Love (And That's All)- Tina Turner & Bryan Adams 7. The Chain- Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham (yeah, it's a Fleetwood Mac song, but they did the vox)
Everyone one of the songs listed is steeped in cheese. Of course, it's Marvin and Tammy, nobody's better. After that it's Iggy Pop and that chick from the B-52's doing "Candy". Now, that was a badass song.
I don't much care for those things, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the Ginger Rogers-Fred Astaire, "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." You know the one, I say potato, you say po-tah-to
hmmm...... just for sheets and giggles i'll nominate "islands in the stream" by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
Assuming that this thread deserves to be taken seriously... -- "Fairytale Of New York", Shane McGowan (Pogues) & Kirsty MacColl. I will argue to the death that is a love song, damnit. -- "Bonnie & Clyde", Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot; nicely covered by Dean Wareham (Luna) & Latitia Sadler (Stereolab) -- the bass line on this just breathes sexuality. -- "Kingdom Of Rain", Matt Johnson (The The) & Sinead O'Connor. Along with the duet with the aforementioned Shane McGowan on "Haunted", IMO this is among Sinead's best work. -- "In A Lonely Place", Pat DiNizio (The Smithereens) and Suzanne Vega. This is just the first song that popped into my head when I saw the title of the thread. -- "Don't Give Up", Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush. See "FoNY" above for note. Really, the duet that Peter was doing with Tracy Chapman on the Amnesty tour is better since she's got such a totally different voice that it sounded more honest. But the song's still very good.
There's a track on the Mary Chapin Carpenter CD Come On Come On which I really like. It's a duet with Joe Duffy, I think, but the title of the song escapes me. I'll nominate that one, can someone tell me what it's called?
Sweet merciful crap, am I the first to mention "Je T'Aime", by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birken? Probably the most erotic song ever recorded. If you don't have it in your personal collection, you're not a complete human being. I'm serious. Get this song, and your life will be better. All of you. Now.
Amen. So good it was banned. That said, I don't think we have to include this song by Serge and Charlotte Gainsbourg in this category. A love duet it may indeed be, but Charlotte Gainsbourg was his daughter. And she was 14 years old at the time.
I would be very glad if i never had to listen to any song from this poll again (at least the ones i know, but the others probably too). And i nominate Suite Sister Mary by Queensrÿche and Pamela Moore.
Aw, Alex come on! Sing it with me. Reunited and it feels so good Reunited 'cause we understood There's one perfect fit And, sugar, this one is it We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey
Dang it... I can't read French and I am not about to ask mom or dad (both who speak French) to translate.
Someone else called it cheesy. I totally agree with that, because it was too creepy, singing "with" your dead father. BUT! Y'all never heard Cougar Jim & I belt it out! Fairly decent for blue-eyed soul, if the crowd is any indication.
Reunion. Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Lucinda Williams (On Gilmore's Spinning Round the Sun) From Obie I guess that is a love song, isn't it? Nice call.
This was the 1st song I thought of too. A typical(?) Irish love story. Another contender - "Sometimes Always" Jim Reid of the Jesus & Mary Chain and Hope Sandoval.
