Robert Ellis Orrall & Carlene Carter - "I Couldn't Say No"
This duet with Carlene Carter went to 32 on the Billboard charts on March 26, 1983. The song was lifted from Orrall's sophomore album, "Special Pain". He resurfaced on the country charts in the 90s, and has written hits for other artists in that genre and beyond. Carlene Carter (wife of Nick Lowe and sister of Rosanne Cash - Johnny Cash was her stepfather) also become a country star in subsequent years. But 80s fans will always remember them for this song, which doesn't strike me as "country" at all.
