One of the sexiest duets that I've ever seen is "Help Me Make It Through The Night" performed by Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson in 1972. The first time I watched that performance was on The Old Grey Whistle Test DVD a couple years ago. Wow. If you want to see some serious chemistry, watch that video. Steamy.
I've always thought that just before (and/or after) that particular performance that 'something' must have been going on between them. I'm a singer and even I know that you can't fake that kind of chemistry up on stage.

It wasn't until recently that I found out that Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge married in 1973. That would make sense!
Of course there are other versions of "Help Me Make It Through The Night", which was written by Kris Kristofferson. Most people are probably familiar with the version by the late Sammi Smith from 1971. She's the one who made the song famous with a #1 country hit, and in turn became famous herself because of it.
Johnny Cash and June Carter also performed "Help Me Make It Through The Night".
