I need help. Who were the 2 guys who apparently met on a underground train in NY and realised they had a mutual love of Marvin Gaye and ended up doing a record together that became a NO 1 just about everywhere. They were both black and it was a great song but I cannot remember their names.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

[edit] Career
The two originally met on a New York City subway train. Chacon was holding a copy of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man," and so the two struck up a conversation and later started performing together. Chacon had grown up in Oakland, California, where he was in a soul band, and later moved to Miami, Florida, where his recording career continued on projects with the Dust Brothers and Daddy-O.
