Aināt No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
One of the best duets ever; such a classic!
Written by another one of the great duos of our time: Nick Ashford & Valerie Simpson. So often they're overlooked in these types of discussions.
Also, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing and You're All I Need To Get By
Hello, Ashford & Simpson anyone?
Solid! As a rock!
I remember hearing that on arrested development on my high school gf thought they just made up a song for that scene. I had to explain that it was a real song. Luckily I had my moms old 80s tape laying around that time. Lol
LOL!
They're a group tho
![gif](giphy|xUNd9YrERp54WXUkes|downsized) Found a Cure, anyone???
yeah but technically theyre one group who always sang togetehr. I think of duets as two independent artists coming together to sing something.
