Patty Smyth "No Mistakes"

Make no mistake about it: Patty Smyth shouldn't be confused with Patti Smith. Smyth (pronounced "sm-eye-th") fronted the '80s pop-rock group Scandal whereas Smith is best known for "Because The Night"--a song written with Bruce Springsteen and later made famous by 10,000 Maniacs. Most recall Smyth for singing opposite Don Henley in the 1992 ballad "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough". Smyth later released "No Mistakes" in 1993.

Don Henley "All She Wants to Do Is Dance"

You might recognize the background vocals on Don Henley's "All She Wants to Do Is Dance".  Patty Smyth (of Scandal) and Martha Davis (of The Motels) help out the former Eagle front man.  Smyth would later return the favor when Henley accompanied her on her 1992 hit "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough".

Stevie Nicks & Don Henley - "Leather and Lace"

Don Henley's name is attached to a number of Adult Contemporary duets including the 1992 ballad "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" with Patty Smyth, but a decade earlier he scored a Top 10 hit accompanying Stevie Nicks in "Leather and Lace".  It was Nicks first solo album while still a member of Fleetwood Mac.  Henley, on the other hand, had just exited The Eagles after a nine-year run.

Trivia: After exiting the band Scandal, Patty Smyth was asked to join the band Van Halen.  She declined.

Patty Smyth & Don Henley - "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough"

How many relationships have you remained in when despite the fact that the relationship is going nowhere?  Sometimes a failing relationship isn't about someone cheating or not giving it their all; it's about two people who love one another with all their hearts, but still can't make their relationship work.  It's not you, it's us.  The 1992 ballad from Patty Smyth and Don Henley perfectly sums up this dilema.  It's one of life's biggest lessons that baby, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough"...
