Carter laughs off his threats, certain the ladies of Jackson will play him for a fool. While Cash spends much of “Jackson” singing about how he’s heading to the titular city to carouse with other women, the whole thing feels like playful fantasizing. Johnny Cash and June Carter were about a year away from getting hitched when they released this 1967 song about a married couple who lost their spark. In the first verse, an innocent Grande asks for something more than physical pleasure, to which the wolfish Weeknd responds, “I know your motives, and you know mine.” This relationship is doomed to fail, but at least they’re going to have some fun first. Shadowy R&B innovator The Weeknd scored his first-ever Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with this double-entendre-packed 2014 collaboration with Ariana Grande. “They won’t get you like I will,” Drake promises on this 2012 smash, which is built around a club-ready sample of Jamie xx’s remix of Gil Scott-Heron’s “I’ll Take Care of You.” Drizzy’s real-life on-again, off-again love interest Rihanna doesn’t get her own verse, but she steals the show in the choruses, following Drake’s fitful rhyming with a simple declaration: “I’ll take care of you.” It’s a bright-eyed, uptempo celebration of love that transcends distance, geography, and inclement weather. Written by the husband-and-wife team of Ashford and Simpson, 1967’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” marked the beginning of Gaye and Terrell’s fruitful partnership. As far as duets go, Marvin Gaye was never better than when he was singing with Tammi Terrell. ![]()
