Two beauties, no beasts. 

Earlier this week, Disney baited all of us with a partial version of Ariana Grande and John Legend's new version of "Beauty and the Beast" in the latest trailer for the live action film, due out next month. But now, true as it can be, we get to exalt in the full-length version of the song, and we're getting unavoidable '90s vibes.

If Grande and Legend's duet strikes a particularly reminiscent chord with you, it's because they aren't the first soulful pair to lend soaring vocals to the Disney classic. Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson sang the credits and radio version of the song back in 1991. The single, which marked the first time Disney invested in a crossover version of one of their songs, ended up peaking at no. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and paved the way for songs from The Lion King, Aladdin, and even Frozen to climb the charts.
