That's about all she said that she had the music for one and he had the music for the other. She didn't specify which song was which.

It wasn't a documentary. It was informal audio tapes that Mick made of the band when they were riding in a limosine. They have circulated among the fans. Stevie was probably high at the time. You've seen the Warner Bros. clips where they are supposed to say Happy Birthday and she was clowning around, right? Well, that's all she was doing in this limo tape. She was saying why was Lindsey singing on Christine's song and she told Christine it was over between them, but she was just talking nonsense, saying all kinds of things like Mick has ugly shoes and who knows what.
My point was that it showed me that Christine made songs that did not necessarily start off as duets into them and I think she must have liked the effect. Obviously, when you have men and women in a band, you want to have male/female love songs, so that's natural. But she has said that she and Lindsey get such an interesting sound together and I think she has noticed what fans have, when they sing together: sometimes you can't tell the two apart. Plus, their different styles make the song more complex, which is what I think happens on Hold Me and Think About Me, in particular.
Well, Hold Me is entirely different, because Lindsey's hand in the production of that song is very strong, aside from his vocal.
