Michael Jackson and His Duets

Michael's success was primarily solo though you can attribute some of his hits to duets, most notably with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney. The duo of Sir Paul and Michael hit it big with the 1982 single "The Girl is Mine" which peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was the first single released from the "Thriller" album in 1982... a year later (even though this song was recorded before "The Girl is Mine"), the duo followed up for this single which appeared on Paul McCartney's album "Pipes of Peace"... from 1983, and featuring sister LaToya, here is "Say, Say, Say"...

Here is Michael's 1995 duet with sister Janet, who at the time was putting out more hits than her older brother... written, composed, and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "Scream"/"Childhood" would become the first single in the 37 year history of Billboard to debut at number five on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked... they both seem very angry in this video...

And, of course, who can forget the forgettable duet with Eddie Murphy in 1992 - the corny graphics and a video that should be an 80's video, but somehow slipped into the 90's, here is "Whatzupwitu"
