In 1987, the unlikely pairing of George Michael and Aretha Franklin hit #1 with an upbeat love song. What phrase appears in parentheses in the title of their duet?

The full name of their number one song is "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)," and in 1987 Aretha and George Michael received a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group for the song. Billboard magazine still considers this duet with Michael to be Aretha's biggest Hot 100 hit, having spent 2 weeks on top of the charts.
