Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville – Don't Know Much

A huge favourite on Magic, if only for Aaron Neville's iconic wobbling vocals!

Favourite line: 'The only truth I've ever known is me and you'

John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John – You're The One That I Want

That gob-smack turn-around moment at 0.36 gets us every time!

Favourite line: 'Cause the power you're supplying, it's electrifying'

Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton – Islands in the Stream

These two have such great on-stage chemistry! So well-synced and happy to be singing their hearts out.

Favourite line: 'I set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb'

Diana Ross and Lionel Richie – Endless Love

Goosebumps, every time. Diana and Lionel's intimacy make this duet so emotional.

Favourite line: 'I'll hold you close in my arms, I can't resist your charms'

Sonny & Cher – I Got You Babe

Sonny and Cher's sweetly innocent performance makes this one an (almost!) winner.

Favourite line: 'Don't let them say your hair's too long, cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong'

David Bowie & Freddie Mercury – Under Pressure

But who can really beat Mercury and the Starman?

Favourite line: 'It's the terror of knowing what this world is about'

Their individual power and charisma has to make this duet battle our number one duet of all time.
