Another favourite duet of mine is "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League from their superb album Dare! (every track a winner).
Excellent choice! It immediately reminded me of another of one of my favorite '80s duets, "Obsession" by Animotion.

Thanks, bc. Wow, the recommendations are simply pouring in! I've added "Obsession" to my steadily growing list of must-listens. ;)

Nice! I must have missed that at the time (a generational thing). As for Dare!, it's one of those albums of all good stuff. Every track a winner, including "Get Carter". I don't believe Human League recorded any other duets...
"That's The Way (I'm Only Trying To Help You)" by Culture Club is a pretty good candidate for this category, with backing vocalist Helen Terry up there in the spotlight with Boy George:

I keep coming back to those first two CC albums. George sounds terrified on the first one but seems resigned to his dangerous lifestyle on the second.

Here's another '80s duet, JK. "What Have I Done to Deserve This," by the the Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield. Great song. I remember watching the video when I was a kid and being enamored of the dancers' glittery costumes and big feather headdresses.

Can't say I've ever been a Culture Club fan, but that duet you posted really nicely showcases George's voice. But that Gaye/Terrell song you shared was gorgeous!
