John’s YouTube hosts a high-definition version of the two singers vibing together in the studio on the song. The chemistry between them is really sweet to see, and they cozy up together and have a grand time as they sing and dance while performing the vocals. The arrangement of their 1976 hit is so perfect for displaying their strengths as singers, and it almost seems like their voices were made for one another.
