Dick Lee & Jacintha - It Takes Two (1984)

If Eric Moo, Jane Li and Tracy Huang were the artists who appeared most in my Chinese language TV shows, then Dick Lee, Jacintha and Tracy Huang were the equivalent in the English language ones. Tracy is effectively bilingual and, given her regional popularity, it is always an honour to be able to have her participate in any shows.
In 1984, I produced a four-part series titled “Singers and Their Songs”. This series, which was all about Singaporean music, was a dream project for me because supporting local music was one of the reasons for my joining of SBC.
The third episode of the series, titled “Off The Record”, focused on locally written songs that were featured on recordings by Singaporean artists. I was lucky to capture some of the most iconic songs performed by the original singers! I will share some of these videos later but for today, it is Dick Lee and Jacintha whom I have the honour to continue to work with for many decades after I left SBC.
Dick & Ja’s “It Takes Two” is one of the most beautifully written and performed duet of our time. It was featured on Jacintha’s landmark 1983 album titled “Silence”.
Love songs never grow old and, after all these years, that bittersweet message that it takes two to make or break a relationship still rings true!
“It takes two to say goodbye forever
Two to see it can’t go on
Two to make it last for long
But only one to realise that it takes two.”

A lovely song. I last heard this on a cassette tape back in the late 80s and early 90s. If only it is available on iTunes today.
