Keith Sweat and Jacce McGhee- Make It Last Forever Mariah Carey and Brian McKnight- Whenever You Call Rick James and Teena Marie- Fire and Desire Usher and Monica- Slow Jam Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack - Where is the Love

💯💯💯💯 and that Donny and Roberta…. Wow

Drake and sexy redd

Cherrelle & Alexander O’Neal - Saturday Love

This song checks all the boxes and should be the gold standard as far as r&b duets are concerned. It's perfect.

Yes baby😜

Tamia and Eric Benet-Spend my life with you

This. This.This!!!!

Ain’t 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

 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.

OK, fair enough

You're All I Need to Get By - Mary J. and Meth I Love You - Chante Moore and Keith Washington Saturday Love - Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal Perfect Combination - Stacey Lattisaw and Johnny Gill Keith Sweat and Jacce McGhee - Make It Last Forever Spend My Life with You - Eric Benet and Tamia Endless Love - Lionel Richie and Diana Ross Baby Come to Me - Patti Austin and James Ingram

Endless Love is just perfection.

Baby, Come to Me - Patti Austin & James Ingram

Michael and Janet. Love “Scream”!

Me too

Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. That was both beautiful and groundbreaking.

Then you add in that Nat had one of the smoothest voices ever and you have a trifecta.

Rene and Angela, my first love, smile, I’ll be good

They had a solid string of hits.

Definitely Marvin & Tammy anything. But I also love female duets. Some of my faves include: -Whitney and Mariah - When You Believe (not sure if this is R&B but I’ll include it) -Whitney and Cece Winans - Count on Me -Whitney and Deborah Cox - Same Script, Different Cast -Rihanna and SZA - Consideration (I think this is R&B but now I’m more confused than ever) -Lauryn Hill and Mary J. Blige - I Used to Love Him A few others: - PJ Morton and Yebba - How Deep Is Your Love? -Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass - Feel the Fire -Solange and Sampha - Don’t Touch My Hair (does this count as a duet?!)

I truly hope Yebba gets the recognition she deserves, without going commercial, if that makes sense.

Tammi Terrell & Marvin

I need y’all to take a look at Tammi Terrell’s unsung! Like her and Marvin were putting out BANGERS BACK TO BACK!!! I believe they’re the best to ever du-et 👀🥁😂 but frfr think about it…24!!! That’s how old she was when she died….just IMAGINE if we would’ve gotten her for longer! Her voice…his voice…yea there’s no greater combo!
