Back in 1992 Luther Vandross & Janet Jackson teamed up to perform a duet for the movie “Mo’ Money.” The song that they collaborated on was entitled “The Best Things in Life are Free.” The song was so popular with the public that it was later added to 4 other CD compilations between 1995 and 2009. One has to wonder why that song so popular? It’s true that the song had a good beat & a catchy tune for it’s time, not to mention two R&B legends singing it, but we here at Hit Trophy believe the reason for the songs popularity stemmed from it’s title & chorus; The best things in life are free.
