It’s long been known that a Michael & Whitney duet exists. Following the global disappointment of I Just Can’t Stop Loving You not featuring Whitney (despite being Michael’s first choice), the hunger for a duet between these two vocal titans has been long over due. Around 2007, when both Whitney and Michael were working on comeback tracks, reports surfaced that our prayers had in fact been answered and Michael and Whitney had reportedly hit the studio to record a single ‘Days of the Broken Hearted.’ Around this time, both were working with Akon, Michael on ‘Hold My Hand’ and Whitney on ‘Like I Never Left’.
In the years that followed, nothing came of the track and today both artists are no longer with us.
However 2 days ago, a fan reached out to Sony Legacy on Twitter to ask about the duet. Sony Legacy are responsible for all the catalogue releases of artists on the labels under Sony (hence the ‘legacy’ part).

And Legacy’s response?

Now that’s not to say anything will come of it, but very interesting that a) they should respond and b) they called for a public response by getting the track trending.
We’ll keep you updated on developments, but from a personal stand point how amazing would this duet be?! It’s a sure fire Number ONE hit and would be a beautiful tribute to the two legends who now watch over us…
Let’s get that trend going – #Daysofthebrokenheartedasasingle
…Although, there probably won’t be many characters left for you to tweet anything else.

Oh, I’m VERY ANXIOUS to hear a musical duet between Whitney & Michael!! I heard they also sang his childhood hit single, “One Day In Your Life” as a duet during rehearsals for his 30th anniversary concerts at Madison Square Garden in 2001. How true is that?
