Marvin Gaye did some classic romantic duets with his label-mates at Motown.

All great versions of My Funny Valentine, but I believe the most iconic one is by Chet Baker.

Thought about the wording of my reply last night & was concerned that it could be read as rude. Not at all what I intended. Just meant that I can appreciate that you and others might favor his version while I do not. Different strokes for different folks.

I didn't know the ladies liked Teddy Pendergrass...
I always liked Lou Rawls' voice.
