She did do the duet with Julio Iglesias, which was a beautiful song. It's actually one of the handful of Diana RCA tunes that I keep in constant rotation. And of course she has what is probably the duet of the decade in "Endless Love", so one might argue she started the trend.
As for good counterparts, gotta start with Lionel. I think there was magic and chemistry between their voices that could've given us a few more classic duets. And then there's the obvious Michael Jackson. I so enjoy watching and listening to them on "Rock With You" on Diana's special. Of course he's present on "Muscles" and "Eaten Alive", but I really think a true duet between them would've been gold. I love Siedah Garrett, and she was perfect for "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", but I think that would've also been a great duet for MJ and Ross.
Peabo Bryson gets a vote. What if Diana had done something with Kool And the Gang, singing with JT? Christopher Cross might have been good with Diana. Phil Collins might have been an interesting pairing. Prince too. Ray Parker Jr would've been good. Stevie Wonder would've been a dream.
Instead we would get Al B Sure.
