Well, honey, that female singer in Rick Astley's video for "She Wants to Dance with Me" is none other than Mandy Smith. She may not be a household name, but she sure knew how to groove alongside Rick in that catchy '80s tune. So, if you were wondering who that fabulous lady was, now you know!
Madonna
The duo you are referring to is likely "Miller and D'Angelo," although they may not be as widely recognized. A more prominent example from that era is "The Eurythmics," featuring Annie Lennox, a white female singer, and Dave Stewart, a white male guitarist. If you are looking for a specific duo with a black female singer and a white male guitarist, please clarify, as there were various collaborations during the 1980s.
