why didn't Diana And Marvin chart better

[Bluebrock]

Oh dear . I really don't want to be so contrarian, Bluebrock . But here's what's in songfacts:



I see nothing said either way in wiki.



Let me choose another one: Dolly and Kenny's ISLANDS IN THE STREAM , they BETTER have sung that one together, I call that duet perfection... or I'm going to go out in the surf at high tide !! lol!!

No offence taken Boogie! The reason why i am so sure the vocals for Endless Love were recorded in separate States is because i was told that very thing by Lionel Richie himself. I see no reason whatsoever why he would tell me that if it were not true. It was told to me in a private conversation in a relaxed environment rather than an official interview but he told it to me without any prompting. I didn't even ask him the question. Obviously Lionel was in the studio when Diana put down her vocals, but he cut his own vocals in another studio prior to this. Hope that makes sense?
As regards Island in the stream i have no idea as to how and where that was recorded so please put that surfing expedition at high tide on hold for the moment!
