Two is the second album by American soul/disco group GQ, released in 1980 on the Arista label. It peaked at #9 on the R&B chart and #46 on the pop listing. Unlike its predecessor, Disco Nights, no single from this album crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, but "Sitting in the Park" and "Standing Ovation" reached #9 and #12, respectively, on the R&B chart. Like "I Do Love You" from Disco Nights, the former was a cover of a 1965 Billy Stewart recording.
