Conversations With Marva: Old School Friday: Duets!

  • Malcolm · 1 year ago
    I'm so glad you chose the Elton John/Mary J. Blige version of "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues". I have that album (One Night Only), but haven't listened to it in awhile. When I saw that it was one of your selections, I took my CD with me so that I can listen to it at work.

    Donnie and Roberta . . .oh yes that is the one.

    Method Man was on tv the other day (a repeat of an old show) doing one of his songs (raps) I had to go look him and all his videos up.

    I enjoyed Mary's duet with Sir Elton. Happy OSF.

    Donnie and Roberta, Meth & Mary... you came out swinging this week. The closer I get to you is timeless.

    Mary and Elton were rockin' it out. Loved it! For the first time on OSF, I need to listen twice. It's that good!

    I love the Donny and Roberta vid. All great choices. I've never seen or heard the Elton John MJB duets so that was pretty cool.

    Hey Marvalus!

    I've gotta tell you Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack is the one that does it for me. I'm through now and can die happy. Must confess I've never been much of a Mary J. Blige fan. Her voice has never been that strong to me, and too many times I've seen her veer off-key, which is hard for me to take. But Donny and Roberta? Oh yeah.

    I'm with everyone else - I loved the Elton John duet!!! Thank you, I'd never heard it before!

    I had to go with The Righteous Brothers - and because they were my favorite male duo from my "young love" years I posted the meme on my Road To Diva Blog, lol.

    Have a great OSF!

    Love your choices, but then again, you can never go wrong with Roberta and Donny. Happy OSF

    Elton is the man, although I didnt like that duet too much, might of been the sound system.
  • SjP · 1 year ago
    Oh you good girlfriend! You good! Happy OSF!

    My OSF is a bit of a departure from what you generally hear at SjP's. Hope you enjoy!

    I love Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway individually, and together they are dynamic...

    My first thought was to pick Mary J Blige and K-ci, back in the day when they were in love, but this Bono song is a better choice.

    Mary J has quite a few hits when it comes to the duets, the first song of course is the best by far...

    I don't even know what to say!! Three blockbusters! Great choices!

    Yup, yup! I posted I'll Be There For You last time I did this OSF theme. This week I thought of reposting that and Marvin/Tami.

    Then I thought of posting Elton John and Luther dueting on Anyone Who Had A Heart.

    We were definitely on the same wavelength today soul sista! VERY nice picks. Happy OSF!

    Loved your choices. Roberta and Donny are classic.

    So is OSF folding, on a hiatus or what... :sad:
