[@t.s.t.4085]

These two M/F's have stayed together longer than most couples:) US loves them. Also appreciate their families who lost time out with them so they could entertain America. God Bless, and love them.

[@michaelwarren6467]

Ms. Austin keeps her voice all warm, safe and healthy all these years.

[@meow-ge7xk]

No singers like him anymore,..but we still have Brian Mcknight who still pay tribute to him.. Miss him a lot...

[@t.s.t.4085]

I've seen decades worth of these two, and believe Mr. Ingram was truly in love Ms. Austin. She played for decades she didn't care, but one NEVER forgets the one(s) who truly loved you. If these two were just doing it "for the cameras", well God Bless the acting skills:)

[@anac2411]

Yes I agree with you . I truly believe this man did love her at some point in his life with the way that man looks at her when they sing ....his eyes don't lie ❤

[@LadyBugLadyLuck]

Oh wow I saw it too! Especially the way he gazed at her when they sung it live back in the Eighties. James truly looked like he was genuinely in love with Patty Austin.

[@ColinRoySinger]

James Ingram was the man, the voice that made me want to get behind a microphone and sing. I played his songs constantly then and still now I will keep the music playing R.I.P my inspiration.

[@guitargod6997]

A great singer with amazing chops!

[@claudinegary4960]

Love this duet between James Ingram and Patti Austin my girl they kill it every time amazing show R.I.P.James Ingram .

[@meilingmoore9631]

He gave us beautiful songs .. Prayers for James Ingram and his family and friends.

[@Madamonitor]

Wonderful thing is James Ingram actually does know how to keep the music playing, he has been together wife his wife for 45 years! Which I think helps him deliver this song with such conviction, mad respect.

[@saundragordon-grant6088]

I truly respect longevity in a marriage. I'm sure that 45 years were not all "peaches and cream," but the vows state, "til death do us part." That's how they ended it.

[@angelcole90]

Just Beautiful. RIP Mr. INGRAM. 2022

[@florenceduckett9818]

As an OG I go way back. LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[@akaziaj]

[@jimdavis081]

The only singers who can execute this song so well and with so much fun and enjoyment! They still got it! Great voices transcend time.

[@spaetzle98]

If we can be the best of lovers, yet be the best of friends... If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows, with any luck than I suppose... ♥♥♥feels like you're dreaming of such perfection everytime you're listening to this very romantic ballad from these 2 legendary music icons. I love you James! You're awesome!
