Everybody knows Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack.
But the 1980s were packed with R&B duos who delivered unforgettable songs, topped the charts, shaped the sound of the decade, and then somehow slipped through the cracks of music history.
In this documentary, we revisit 10 underrated 80s R&B duos and vocal pairings you need to hear again — from electro-funk pioneers to unforgettable slow-jam voices.
We’ll revisit Ollie & Jerry, Melba Moore & Freddie Jackson, Stacy Lattisaw & Johnny Gill, Kashif & Meli'sa Morgan, Ashford & Simpson, Womack & Womack, Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle, The System, Yarbrough & Peoples, and René & Angela.
Some had major R&B hits. Some crossed over to pop. Some wrote and produced music for other legendary artists. And some simply made records that deserved to be remembered.
Which duo did you grow up listening to?
And who should have been on this list?
Drop your pick in the comments.
