"It Takes Two" was a hit single recorded in late 1965 by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston for Motown's Tamla label. Produced by Weston's then-husband, longtime Gaye collaborator William "Mickey" Stevenson, and co-written by Stevenson and Sylvia Moy, "It Takes Two" centered on a romantic lyric which depicted many things in life (dreams, love, wishes, etc.) being better with two people instead of one. The single became Gaye's most successful duet single to date, later outperformed by Gaye's duets with Tammi Terrell. Gaye and Weston's duet peaked at #14 on the Billboard Pop charts and #4 on Billboard's Soul Singles chart in January 1967. "It Takes Two" was also Gaye's first major hit in the UK, where it peaked at #16 on the British singles charts in the spring of that same year. Also in 1967, soul singers Otis Redding and Carla Thomas covered the song for their duet album, ''King & Queen''. It was also recorded by Donny and Marie Osmond in 1974. It was from their gold album "I'm Leaving It All Up to You". The song also appeared on The Osmonds album "Around the World Live" in late 1975. Though it was never released as a single, the song was performed live at concerts. ==Personnel== *All vocals by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston *Instrumentation by The Funk Brothers and The Detroit Symphony Orchestra *Produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It Takes Two (Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
