Question
ther'a a song from 80-81 but can't remember much except that it's a love song by a male artist and the song was also sang in a duet by male and female.(I like the lone male artist version). I may not remember the exact lyrics but here goes:
love...never have to say you're sorry....thinking you will never believe me.....(chorus)ow, wow, love, look what's happening to me, i was blind.....

Answer
hey dennis, you were quite right. the song was released in 1981, recorded by Billy Preston & Syreeta and was entitled simply "Love". The two hit it quite right when the became a household name after the did that timeless duet "With You I'm Again". Syreeta being a gifted songwriter too, wrote songs for   George Howard, Jeffry Osborne, Quincy Jones and co-wrote with the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" by Stevie Wonder whom she married later.

i have still to find out if Billy Preston recorded that solo version you heard.

The 80s: a decade where the music was grand. i learned a great deal on the wonderworkings of new wave artists; those pop-rock ditties were remarkable, yet the laid-back love songs were always as good as it was then. as regards artists and their songs,i maybe of help though i'm partial to rap,country,and metal. I am also a smooth jazz junkie and may have infos to take you along a splendid music cruise in our time.
