It Takes Two - Favorite Duets

Doug: Since today is Valentine's Day, we're going to bring the love through song.  And not just any genre of songs -- nope, today's discussion will center around the collaborations of two voices coming together to make a memorable song.  Of course, just like love doesn't always work out for some couples, neither is success guaranteed to recording artists merging their talents in a recording studio!  We'll talk about the songs you loved, as well as some you may even have loathed -- as long as there were two stars spinning under the needle, it's fair game.

Doug:  Today you can discuss any duets in your catalog -- the Motown song by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston gives today's post its title, and of course Gaye had a string of hits with Tammi Terrell.  And for fun, how about those oddball pairings (Julio and Willie, as previously mentioned), such as the one below:
