“Perfect Duet” by Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé

Slow down the tempo with this Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé hit, which was released as a solo song called Perfect for Sheeran on December 1, 2017.

Arguably the best love song in Ed’s portfolio, this duet with Beyoncé gives wedding couples the opportunity to sing a narrative to each other.

Perfect Duet is one of the more modern love duets on our list – it is surprisingly difficult to find new duo songs where the singers are not “@” each other, or at each other’s throats.

“Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song”, shivers!

“Endless Love” by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie

“My love, there’s only you in my life.”

I could just end the summary there!

While we remember the 80s for its rock classics, new romantics, and cheesy pop, it is still the decade responsible for powerful duets like Endless Love released on June 26, 1981.

They just don’t make ’em like 80s duet love songs anymore.

Comedy gold.
