I've heard quite a lot of renditions of this classic love song from various artists, both foreign and local, yet I still feel spellbound every time I listen to it. To me, this must be the best musical arrangement for a duet of all time. I love how the melody perfectly complements the lyrics.
Over the last few days, this song has once again captured my senses, through a single post on my Facebook feeds page. It was a music video linked to YouTube of a Korean ballad singer K.Will with Charice Pempengco, singing a duet of the song "Endless love". I am no Charice fan, though I've always admired her talent, but certainly, I loved how she beautifully sung the female parts of the song. She showcased her own style and did not try to mock another artist. As for the male part, his voice sounded like that of Brian McKnight on the first few stanzas which I find impressive.
The song has been around for decades since it was first released in August 1981, as original motion picture soundtrack from the movie of the same title, which starred Brooke Shields. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie were the first to record the song.

In 1993, Mariah Carey made a remake of the song with fellow soul singer Luther Vandross, that made her the most played musician on the radio towards the end of the year and in 1994.
In the recent year, promising singer and Philippines' pride Charice Pempengco gave a whole new approach to the song. I couldn't find a suitable code to embed the video here. Just click the link and prepare to be carried away by the music.
