Just We Two is a 1969 album pairing soul music singers Blinky and Edwin Star, released on Gordy Records.
[2] The label sought to replicate the success of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's duets, as well as compete with Stax Records' singles,[3] but once this album was released, "Oh How Happy"/"Ooo Baby Baby" did not live up to the hype it received in Billboard,[4] entering the Hot 100 at 99[5] and peaking at 96 the next week[6] before disappearing from the charts.
Blinky became a backing vocalist and would not receive another album until the 2019 compilation Heart Full of Soul: The Motown Anthology.
Planer noted "After establishing himself with the Top Ten soul and pop hit "25 Miles," Edwin Starr teamed up with another burgeoning talent named Blinky (aka Sandra Williams) for a one-off album of duets.
While the results may not be on par with that of Marvin Gaye's consistently remarkable work with the likes of Mary Wells, Kim Weston, and Tammi Terrell, a sufficient number of excellent cuts can be heard on 1969's Just We Two.
