I've always liked this song. I think both of the ladies sound great and you can hear the emotion and pain that they're singing about. This is one of those songs that should have been a major hit.
Did you know?
Make No Mistake, He's Mine" is a popular hit recorded by Barbra Streisand and Kim Carnes. This track was recorded and released on Streisand's 1984 album Emotion. Released as a single, it was a chartal dud pop-wise, but did place in the top 10 of the Adult Contemporary chart.
In 1987 the song was re-worked as "Make No Mistake, She's Mine" by Kenny Rogers and Ronnie Milsap. This version was a chart-toppper, reaching #1 on the Billboard Country chart. Their version would also appear the Adult Contemporary charts and peak at #42. Rogers had previously worked with Carnes in the 1960s in a successful folk group and on the hit singles "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" and "What About Me?" (the latter of which was actually meant to feature Streisand, but was recorded with Carnes after she pulled out).
In 2002, the track would re-appear on Streisand's compilation Duets. It also surfaced as a solo recording by Carnes, as a bonus track on a CD reissue of Carnes' album Barking at Airplanes and as a track on Carnes' "best of" album Gypsy Honeymoon."
