Best 1980s Duet Song
Manage episode 433750735 series 3009698
While duets have a long history in popular music, they exploded in popularity during the 1980s. Many were heart-wrenching romantic ballads of lust and loss, others were bombastic declarations of friendship and independence. But if you were a top-tier musical artist of the decade, chances are you had at least one smash hit you shared with another music icon. And now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back at these shared successes as we debate the Best 1980s Duet! Songs discussed include “Islands in the Stream,” “Up Where We Belong,” “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,” “Ebony and Ivory,” “Almost Paradise,” “Guilty,” “Endless Love,” “Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves,” “Somewhere Out There,” “After All,” “On My Own,” “Easy Lover,” and more.
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Kate Racculia as they discuss 16 of the most gloriously 80s ballads ever recorded.
