It Takes Two (Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston song)
"It Takes Two" is 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 that 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. "Cash Box" said the single is a "rhythmic, infectious romancer that superbly matches the two fine voices." The song was played over the closing credits of the 1995 film "It Takes Two" and 2002 TV adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson novel "Double Act". Rod Stewart and Tina Turner version. British singer  Rod Stewart and American singer Tina Turner released a cover of "It Takes Two" in 1990, which was also featured in a television advertising campaign for Pepsi.
