This is the lesson on how to sing a duet. Each performer working with and respecting the other's strengths and allowing their turn on stage. It isn't just stunning to listen to, it's also beautiful to watch.
I read an interview with Lionel Richie recently in which he said that one of the greatest career regrets he has is that he did not work more with Ms. Ross. He spoke of having confidence that he had written a good song, but being overwhelmed when they took an afternoon out of both their busy tour schedules to record the song by what she brought to the song with her interpretation & what her performance inspired in him. This was the only time they ever performed the song publicly & he counts it as one his carrier's greatest moments. They are both so talented & you can see how enthralled he is with her vocals & how thrilled she is to share such a great song with its writer. It is a breathtaking moment & just from this performance, anyone can see why these two artists became & remain superstars!
Wow, thank you for this. I’ve always been a fan of ms. Ross but this song was my favourite. Thanks for taking the time to share this interesting story.
I definitely think they should have done a couple of duet albums together. Their voices blend beautifully, this and 'Dreaming of You' is proof of that 🎶 ❤
Yes Diana was the star of that show . She and Lionel should have took the stage and got that Oscar. Yes Lionel wrote it . But there is no doubt he would have taken her hand and walked up to that stage with the audience standing in thunderous applause!!!!!!!!
Always been nuts about Ms. Ross. If you follow her career, she NEVER hits a false note....perfect pitch, perfect timing, perfect improvisation, perfect phrasing, perfect mannerisms. Extremely disciplined. And she makes it all look effortless. Just love her work. Richie's superb but she elevated this performance to something sublime.
With such poor quality you can STILL feel the power in the performance and just unbelievable chemistry between them both ! I keep returning to watch this every now and then and its just better every time !
This is one of my favorite songs so I'm learning it on the piano right now, and even though I've practiced like 100 times today I'm still not tired of the song, hence why I'm here :) lol
Thank you. I haven’t seen this in years. It should have won the Oscar and multiple-Grammys it was nominated for.....it is timeless. Do we even remember what song won?
HERE ARE THE LYRICS FOR ALL TO ENJOY : My love, there's only you in my life The only thing that's bright My first love, You're every breath that I take You're every step I make And I, I want to share All my love with you No one else will do And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes They tell me how much you care Ooh yes, You will always be My endless love Two hearts, Two hearts that beat as one Our lives have just begun Forever (Oh) I'll hold you close in my arms I can't resist your charms And love, oh love I'll be a fool, for you I'm sure You know I don't mind (Oh) You know I don't mind 'Cause you, You mean the world to me (Oh) I know I know I've found, I've found in you My endless love Ohh Boom, boom, Boom, boom, boom boom, boom, Boom, boom, boom boom Oh, and love oh, love I'll be that fool for you I'm sure, You know I don't mind Oh you know I don't mind And, yes You'll be the only one 'Cause no one can deny This love I have inside And I'll give it all to you My love, my love, my love My endless love.......
This song (and _For Your Eyes Only_ ... which was also an all time classic movie song), lost to the theme song from _Arthur_ ,one of the all time all time tragedies at the Oscars.
Thanks! There is another version out there with added audio from studio version, but this one is legit. Please do find this audio source to have an upgraded audio version : )
Yeah, I just saw it before this video. I was like, sh**, are they lip-syncing? And I got halfway through and saw the video edit, and was like f***. LoL. This is much better.
The fact they lost the Oscar that year is the biggest upset in Oscar history. They were straight robbed. Lionel should have two Oscars for best song. Smh but of course those white men making the decisions weren’t going to give him two very deserving Oscars. Just like they didn’t give Chadwick the Oscar this year even though he swept every other award this season. Another huge upset.
I LOVE Diana Ross. I LOVE Lionel Richie. I DETEST Endless Love. It is a dirge that just goes on and on forever, endlessly. I've never understood why it became such a massive hit
This is the strangest comment ever... Have you never been in love or do you dislike love? This song came out years before I was even born but it's one of my favorite songs ever!!
Huh?!!! High on life, maybe. Besides, Lionel is the one wearing sunglasses. Maybe they’re to hide how dilated his pupils are, eh? Cocaine: It’s a hell of a drug!
First off her name is DIANA ROSS. Second MISS ROSS was not married at the time. Thirdly who the F:ck is “DI” And finally, they had chemistry. Listen to their voices.
I love anything Lionel Richie. I wasn’t blown away by Diana Ross.i hated how she took over the song and sang louder and stronger so that she overblown. It doesn’t show it here but, on my CD I can’t even him for her over singing. She went on to perform this song as a single for many appearances. She wasn’t a gracious singer at all. Just my opinion okay.
Diana Ross ate this she proved her live voice was the real deal and she's a Goddess
This is the lesson on how to sing a duet. Each performer working with and respecting the other's strengths and allowing their turn on stage. It isn't just stunning to listen to, it's also beautiful to watch.
And Diana Ross stole the show and the spotlight
2 Motown greats!

Absolutely ! 2 amazing talents who have.respect nd love for each other.

Uno de los duetos más maravillosos que he escuchado y definitivamente la mejor versión de éste temal
This is how love songs should sound, not the trash of today. Classy and timeless are these two.
Diana Ross is so beautiful...I remember this so clearly. Lionel was all up in Diana's face 🤣.... Lionel was clearly mesmerized like the rest of us 😍🙂🤣
How funny…I agree….Lionel clearly could barely contain himself….Diana is so stunning
He was so enthralled with her it was cringe because it was not mutual lol
@@PhonyPhoniPhonéshe loves Lionel. They’ve been greatest if true friends for decades. They adore each other, and it’s easy to see why.
@@jameslborg thanks for clarifying
This is the best version ever. I wish someone would remaster this and put it out.
DIANA ROSS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
No auto tunes….perfection
Beautiful voices. This was a performance of perfection!!
Yes Diana was the star of that show . She and Lionel should have took the stage and got that Oscar. Yes Lionel wrote it . But there is no doubt he would have taken her hand and walked up to that stage with the audience standing in thunderous applause!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤
Diana is Beautiful...
She rocks the end of this song, such a great job. She just sounds so so good. Best duet ever
Always been nuts about Ms. Ross. If you follow her career, she NEVER hits a false note....perfect pitch, perfect timing, perfect improvisation, perfect phrasing, perfect mannerisms. Extremely disciplined. And she makes it all look effortless. Just love her work. Richie's superb but she elevated this performance to something sublime.
One of the Greatest Love Songs Ever...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The tenderness in their voices ... it’s so believable like they truly are in love with each other...❤️💜❣️
So Beautiful Diana!
Diana and Lionel did the damn thang!!!
I wish they would sing this together again. 😭 Thank you so much for posting it.
I luv this song & they both did it justice. Hats off!!❤
Such a magnificent love song! So magical and glorious!
Amazing talent by both of these LEGENDS!!!
Los Angeles was an incredible city in the 80s
Wow artists like that don't exist this day
i really love this song
Perfection..
The greatness is overwhelming
Long time ago but still just as beautiful.
With such poor quality you can STILL feel the power in the performance and just unbelievable chemistry between them both !
I keep returning to watch this every now and then and its just better every time !
People were much much happier in the 1980s than now
Diana Ross uma ótima cantora.
I love Diana
So beautiful. A classic song and moment in time.
Melt every time I hear it. It will be a sad world when they are no longer with us...
Thx a million.. God bless U.. all the best.. lots of love..!🌹🌷⚘💐🙏🙏🙏🙏
Such a declaration for the one you love!
Finally found your version with the live audio. Too many copies on TH-cam that dubbed in the recording!
Thx again.. all the best.. God bless U forever.. all my love 💓💘❤💕♥💗💓💘❤💕
Fantastic revival of so beautiful song and moment!
Duo perfecto!!! En todas las presentaciones en vivo Diana Ross se luce, su voz perfecta y bella como ella!!
This is one of my favorite songs so I'm learning it on the piano right now, and even though I've practiced like 100 times today I'm still not tired of the song, hence why I'm here :) lol
How I wish Michael Jackson and Diana Ross made a duet with this song
Aww❤❤"Endless Love." 🍓
Simply Stunning!
My All time Fav.
TY 4 sharring This vid.
Thank you. I haven’t seen this in years. It should have won the Oscar and multiple-Grammys it was nominated for.....it is timeless. Do we even remember what song won?
I so agre with u
Arthur's Theme from Christopher Cross won that year
Oscar and Grammy voters didn't care for Diana Ross ......... nominated many times but never won!!
yet, Lionel Richie won many!
Great live version. One of the few songs that outdid the movie 👍🏽👍🏽
Beautiful song 😭😭😭
HERE ARE THE LYRICS FOR ALL TO ENJOY :
My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes,
You will always be
My endless love
Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever (Oh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, oh love
I'll be a fool, for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind (Oh)
You know I don't mind
'Cause you,
You mean the world to me (Oh)
I know I know
I've found, I've found in you
My endless love
Ohh
Boom, boom,
Boom, boom, boom boom, boom,
Boom, boom, boom boom
Oh, and love oh, love
I'll be that fool for you I'm sure,
You know I don't mind
Oh you know I don't mind
And, yes
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
My endless love.......
❤❤Beautiful!
You will always be, my endless love. 🥰😳🥹😭
This song (and _For Your Eyes Only_ ... which was also an all time classic movie song), lost to the theme song from _Arthur_ ,one of the all time all time tragedies at the Oscars.
❤ 💝 ❤ 💝 🌹 💝 ❤ love this song!!!
What a timeless song by two Legends....love them both...
I hear this song On Mei 2023, who else still hear this wonderful song until now. what a wonderful Lionel Richie and Dian Ross.
Motown Royalty❤
thanks
is it only me who watch this video in 2018??
nope. I saw it here the first time today too. Although, i know the song since early 90s.
I got you beat. 2019, bitches!
2020
And again watching in 2020 🤣
Here in 2020!
una joya este vídeo
Thanks! There is another version out there with added audio from studio version, but this one is legit.
Please do find this audio source to have an upgraded audio version : )
That´s true! I´ve seached for this version and finally got it mentionning "Academy Awards"! Sorry for my English rs
Yeah, I just saw it before this video. I was like, sh**, are they lip-syncing? And I got halfway through and saw the video edit, and was like f***. LoL. This is much better.
RIP MARY AND FLORENCE
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the part where they're out of character and make eye contact and pull each other closer @6:01
Watching it in 2019
Me too
Johnny Carson was so great 👍 ❤
Ross You 2020
I think Diana is a beautiful woman
& very classy . Lionel looks like hes in luv.😂❤ Still.
Lionel way to close...,,She is magic! I love her!
Love this version and it’s the original but Luther just had a way better voice Lionel and made this song go to another level
🌻
Lionel이 이 노래 살렸다
Este audio rescata mejor las voces, ahora parece que solo son agudos.
Johnny Carson literally introduced lionel before mss ross. Holy fuck,!
Does anyone else see the awkwardness in this performance?
this should have won best song and not arthurs!
Who's the actor at 2:32?
Howard Rollins
@@itsnice2meetu294 Thanks.

Absolutely about Lionel and Chadwick!!!!!
I think it was Miss Ross that was snubbed.
I LOVE Diana Ross. I LOVE Lionel Richie. I DETEST Endless Love. It is a dirge that just goes on and on forever, endlessly. I've never understood why it became such a massive hit
its a beautiful song
Because it's a beautiful song..duh 🙄
So sad, this is one of the most incredibly beautiful and timeless songs ever written.
This is the strangest comment ever... Have you never been in love or do you dislike love? This song came out years before I was even born but it's one of my favorite songs ever!!
💜🤍
Ms ross burned daggers at lionel for singing first. Takes the last word.
My god she was high as a kite, poor Lionel.
Huh?!!! High on life, maybe.
Besides, Lionel is the one wearing sunglasses. Maybe they’re to hide how dilated his pupils are, eh?
Cocaine: It’s a hell of a drug!
Sorry. The chem isn't there. Ofc cause Di' was married. Absolutely lovable song, though.
@Bequanis Looby: I think Diana was not married that time!
First off her name is DIANA ROSS.
Second MISS ROSS was not married at the time.
Thirdly who the F:ck is “DI”
And finally, they had chemistry. Listen to their voices.
Why was Lionel so low in the mix?
Great performances, but he was barely audible.
I love anything Lionel Richie. I wasn’t blown away by Diana Ross.i hated how she took over the song and sang louder and stronger so that she overblown. It doesn’t show it here but, on my CD I can’t even him for her over singing. She went on to perform this song as a single for many appearances. She wasn’t a gracious singer at all.

Luther coming on a little strong lol
Hatch Man Do you mean Lionel ?
That's Michael Jackson's mom singing with Lionel Richie.
That's Michael Jackson's greatest love
@josephsmith4147 it is so apparent what you and trump have in common nativity stupidity.
