Marilyn McCoo sang a bunch of duets with Andy Gibb while both hosted Solid Gold... This clip has Andy and Marilyn performing the Diana Ross pop hit -- Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, circa 1981-82. They do some really nice tight harmonies together, and you can't beat having the Solid Gold Dancers back you up, visually anyway. Also, a BIG THANKS to CutterCovina on YouTube who sent me this high quality clip. I have lots of other videos to share of Marilyn McCoo singing covers, duets and more from her Solid Gold years -- check out my YouTube channel page for more videos. Hope my fellow McCoo fans enjoy them!

    I heard this remake when I was a child. I always thought Marilyn McCoo song it. She sounds good covering it.

  • I don't know why ...

    I don't know why they chose to make this a duet. Andy's has a nice voice, but he nowhere near as powerful a singer as Marilyn and she just literally drowns him out to point that sounds like her back up singer. Maybe that's why he kept dropping the mic?

    She blows him out of the water. She should have released this as a single with a less up-tempo version. BTW the original version is by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, not Diana Ross.

  • Lovely duet and a ...

    Lovely duet and a very lovely Andy. I think this song was just not totally Andy's cup of tea, seen the type of song, but then he sang it anyway with a big smile. He just gave full dedication to anything he worked on. Thanks for keeping the memory of Andy alive. Nikka

    In watching this a couple of times, I noticed that Andy Gibb often drops his microphone before finishing a phrase, which will surely get you out-powered in a duet. Not very good mic technique for a pro...or, maybe he just wasn't that into singing this song?

    I always thought Marilyn McCoo was as cute and beautiful as most of the lady SG Dancers!!! I hated Marilyn do duets with Andy Gibb but other of her duets was much better such as Cliff Richard! Thanks for the vid!
