Skipworth & Turner were a United States male musical duo, consisting of Rodney Skipworth (from Syracuse, New York) and Phil Turner (from Memphis, Tennessee).[1][2] Their biggest hit came in 1985, when they went to No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart with "Thinking About Your Love". The track reached No. 24 in the UK Singles Chart, and a further release, "Make It Last" peaked at No. 60 in the same chart in January 1989.[2]

The duo disbanded in 1991. A greatest hits compilation was issued the following year by Unidisc Music.
