"Endless Love" is a song written and co-produced by Lionel Richie and originally recorded as a duet between Richie and singer/actress Diana Ross for the soundtrack to the coming-of-age film of the same name, starring Brooke Shields. In this ballad, the singers declare their "endless love" for one another. It was covered by Luther Vandross with R&B-pop singer Mariah Carey, and also by country music singer Shania Twain. Billboard has named the original version as the greatest song duet of all time. It was Ross' final single with Motown Records as she would sign with RCA Records shortly before its release and Richie's first single as a solo artist prior to him leaving his longtime band, the Commodores.
