It was a 19 year old LL Cool J being very soppy - try this one (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0gC8EUKPIlI) instead?

Spoonie Gee

Kat, you will like Spoonie Gee. This is all I could find on YouTube, but he's done lots of incredible stuff until he flamed out in 1988 or so, and LL has acknowledged his debt to and love for the guy's music.

Er, how is it that no-one has yet mentioned Beyonce and Jay-Z? 'Crazy In Love' is a genius duet, probably in my all-time top 5.

I toyed with mentioning that but it follows the conventional "featuring" structure ie it's Beyoncé's song for the most part, Jay-Z gets 16 bars near the end, and if you can't those sorts of song then the ENTIRETY OF HIP-HOP beckons us. In all the duets I listed there's vocal interaction throughout the whole song...
