    I remember hearing this not long after it was released, I think maybe 1985 ish?, I was driving an artic truck in Europe on my way home to Ireland, I-was overwhelmed by the girls duo and this amazing song…As soon as I arrived home I bought the record and nearly wore it out 😂…Still one of my favourite all time hits..

    • @amitbasu8159

  • @trex1563
    @trex1563 Před rokem +19

    Part of why this works so well for these two is they have such radically different voices and vocal tone, Dickson's is particularly unique. I think that's why it's never been successfully covered.

    No one beats the original singers in their a game. As good as chess the concert in 2008 was Menzel was pitchy and felt forced compared with page who seems to effortlessly sing this song no matter how many years go by. And how cool is Barbara harmonising and holding her own with her beautiful voice too. All things considered this performance was 20 years after the concept album they both recorded. Amazing

      Yes, it's possible to notice numerous tricks of the trade employed by Elaine, at least, e.g. the break for a breath between "I know him" and "so well" at 3:47 that she didn't used to need or bother with when she was younger.
