10 Best Duets Ever: No. 3
'I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By' --Mary J. Blige and Method Man (1995)
The unlikely pairing of Blige and the Wu-Tang MC pull the classic Motown spirit of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell (not to mention the original chorus from their 'You're All I Need to Get By') into the hip-hop era --and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance. The key? Subtlety. Unlike the majority of R&B/rap collaborations, this one keeps it smooth and sultry.

Who came up with that worst list? There are about 4 or 5 songs that are classic duets from the 80's. A majority of them being number 1 hits.
