About the duo: although these two giants had worked together before on the track Games without frontiers from Peter Gabriel's first solo album, this song from Gabriel's fifth album So, released in 1986, is a real duet with both taking an equal share of the spotlight. This was emphasized in the cover of the single version, in which they were billed as equals. For more information on these singers separately, see any of their many entries in my list.
About the song: when two of your favourite singers combine in a duet, you expect something special. Sometimes you are disappointed, sometimes the result exceeds expectations, like in this case. This beautiful ballad was released as a single and became an unlikely million seller. It has been covered many times, but no-one came even close to the magic of this combination. Run time 6:33.
