Adult Contemporary music- which was a serious change of pace for Joe Cocker. It worked- the single to the soundtrack of An Officer And A Gentleman went to #1 and won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
There was a time in the ‘80s where duos, which oftentimes featured a male and a female artist, were all the rage. Most of them are not holding up very well.
good point- late 70s early 80s this was all the rage- the duet. and i agree most didn’t hold up.
