I have a confession to make:
I love cheesy duets from the 1980’s.
Come on…you know you do too. Just admit that when you’re listening to the radio and you hear that cheesy synthesizer intro, you cannot help but sing along. I have decided to make a list of what I deem the ten best 80’s duets ever.
After careful deliberation:
10. “Somewhere Out There” -James Ingram/Linda Ronstadt
9. “Up Where We Belong” -Joe Cocker/Jennifer Warnes
8. “You and I” -Eddie Rabbitt/Crystal Gayle
7. “Almost Paradise” -Mike Reno/Ann Wilson
6. “The Next Time I Fall” -Peter Cetera/Amy Grant
5. “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” -Bill Medley/Jennifer Warnes
4. “Ebony and Ivory” -Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney
3. “Under Pressure” -Queen/David Bowie
2.”Islands In the Stream” -Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton
And finally *dun dun dun*….
1. “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” -Michael Jackson/Siedah Garrett
Get off my man, ho!
Some of the other close contenders:
“If I Close My Eyes Forever” -Lita Ford/Ozzy Osbourne
“Friends and Lovers” -Gloria Loring/Carl Anderson
“Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” -Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty
“The Girl Is Mine” -Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney
“Tonight, I Celebrate My Love For You” -Peabo Bryson/Roberta Flack
