Best Duets

"Jackson" with Johnny Cash and June Carter is one of my favourites.

Not a particular fan of either but I always thought that Charlotte Church and Liam Gallagher could have done a fun cover of ELO's "Rockaria!"

Barcelona - Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé. For some reason it always sticks in my head as a great duet. A rock singer and an opera singer, sounds unlikely but isn't really given Freddie's classical inclinations.

Youssou nDour and Neneh Cherry "7 Seconds"

I thought it was a great tune when I heard it first but then the FM boys over played it.

Too true. When they drag it out again in ten years we will all revel in its glory.

This was a pretty amazing duet...albeit the word is more usually associated with singers rather than electronic artists...

Thought of that but...just...Elton... I guess he was pretty good at one stage in the 70s before tripe like Passengers and Nikita.

Ah here, I'm on a roll.

One of the best duets ever (to me) was David Bowie and Bing Crosbie and the Christmas song. OMG. The tingles. So unreal the two of them, but....

Possibly the worst video ever, maybe Lionel beats it with hello but it's close.

Terrible song. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

There's a clip of Tina Turner and Bowie in concert. Bowie was a guest performer and Turner was singing a song called Tonight written by Bowie and Iggy Pop, I think.

Mid way through the performance, Bowie said something to Tina Turner which was, if you lip read it, and apparently from rumours of what went on between the two the night before, very funny.

A fan also gets onto the stage and starts dragging out of Bowie but himself and Tina Turner continue singing. I can't post the clip atm but if anyone else can, it's very good and worth a watch.
