Stephanie Dorthea Mills is an American R&B, soul and gospel singer, and a former Broadway star. Mills began her career appearing in her first play at the age of nine. Two years later, Mills won Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater a record six times. The victory led to her being cast in her first Broadway role, the orphaned child of a runaway slave in the musical Maggie Flynn.

Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass (March 26, 1950 – January 13, 2010) was an American R&B/soul singer and songwriter. Pendergrass first rose to fame as lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in the 1970s before a successful solo career at the end of the decade.

He subsequently founded the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance, a foundation that helps those with spinal cord injuries. Pendergrass commemorated 25 years of living after his spinal cord injury with star filled event, 'Teddy 25 - A Celebration of Life' at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center. His last performance was on a PBS special at Atlantic City's Borgata Casino in November 2008.

Came into my life, a stranger
You captured my heart
Now I've got to face the danger
I'm ready to start

Thought that I could make it on my own, all alone
I've tried so hard to fake it
Now the truth must be known

Two hearts are always better
Together forever
Two hearts are always better
True romance we'll treasure

You've given me so much of yourself
Till I don't need nobody else
And with each passing day
My love for you grows strong in every way
You are my life, ooh

Never thought that love could touch me
Move me this way
Don't you ever leave me, baby
Promise you'll stay

I'm so glad I got you, girl
Turned my world all around
We won't let nobody change
This love that we, we've found

Two hearts are always better
Together forever
Two hearts are always better
True romance we'll treasure

You've given me so much of yourself
Till I don't need nobody else
And with each passing day
My love for you grows stronger every way
You are my life

Two hearts are always better
(Always, always)
Two hearts are always better
(Two, me and you, yeah)
(Just me and you, me and you, tell them two)

Two hearts are always better
(Two hearts, always better, don't you know?)
(Baby, me and you, talkin' about two)
Two hearts are always better
(One and one makes two, hey, me and you, yeah)
(Oh, oh, yeah)

Two hearts are always better
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)
Two hearts are always better
(Yeah, two, don't you know? Two, yeah, two)

Two hearts are always better, two hearts are always better
(Don't you know? Talkin' 'bout me and you, that makes two)
Two hearts are always better
(Always, yeah, always better girl)
(Two)
Two hearts are always better
