Leanne Rimes & Elton John; Written In The Stars

Never would have guessed their paths would cross.

[s46sheldon]

Art Garfunkel and Taylor Swift

[bossylady1]

Pavorotti and James Brown. Yes, it exists. Google it.

[m814261n]

One I would like to have heard would be "Portrait of My Love" by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. For one that might actually be possible, how about Bobbie Gentry and Willie Nelson doing her "Bugs."

[227mason]

Bing Crosby and David Bowie singing Christmas songs back in the day.

Dream Duo? Already happened...Chet Atkins and Les Paul's "Chester and Lester"

[bigblue99]

I’m sorry but it’s got to be anything done by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

[njriley55]

I know she duetted with Tony B already. I would like to hear her with Paul McCartney!

[bigblue99]

I would not mind hearing them together, I bet they could create some good music. It was just something with her and Tony that I couldn’t get into,

[njriley55]

David Bowie and Bing Crosby “The Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth”

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n9kfdEyV3RQ

Would like to see Paul McCartney duet with Lady Gaga!

I liked that song for a long time. But, I never knew who did it. Never would have guessed that pair. Finally I know. Thanks.

Here's another unlikely combo whose musical styles really work well together. Maybe it's because they have some basic Celtic inspired roots. I've always been a fan of both and love this album, too!

All the Road Running - Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris

Here's a sample -

[l483260l]

NOT A FAN OF EITHER- BUT THIS SONG- WOW! IT REMINDED ME OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE DUETS: JIMMIE DALE GILMORE& LUCINDA WILLIAMS-"REUNION". HE HAS AN ETHEREAL VOICE & A STYLE IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF; HER VOICE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE TEXAS - WHISKEY & HONEY

[l483260l]

I'D HAVE TO ADD THIS UNDER A "DREAM DUETS" SUBCATEGORY- BONNIE RAITT & JOHN LEE HOOKER; & BONNIE RAITT& JOHN HIATT AS WELL; ANOTHER ACTUAL- TOM WAITS & BETTE MIDLER "I NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS."- WONDERFUL!

[MaVolta]

Brilliant idea! First one that comes to mind . . . (and Willie has others, too)

To All the Girls I've Loved Before - Willie Nelson & Julio Iglesias

[l483260l]

WHO WOULD WE MOST LIKE TO HEAR WILLIE SING WITH? TONY BENNETT, BOB DYLAN,... MICK JAGGER?

[MaVolta]

[l483260l]

ANOTHER WOW ON THIS ONE- ACTUALLY 2- ONE FOR YOU & ONE FOR WILLIE!

[MaVolta]

How about Willie and Keith Richards?

[m814261n]

Willie and Rod Stewart?

[l483260l]

WOW! CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS ONE- SO GLAD WE BROUGHT UP THE DUETS IDEA!

[MaVolta]

How about an unlikely supergroup?  Willie, Keith Richards, Hank Williams III, and Ryan Adams singing the RS classic, Dead Flowers.  Love it!!

[l483260l]

THAT IS A GOOD ONE- HRE'S AN ACTUAL DUET/ACTUALLY TRIO:
TOM WAITS( OKAY, I ADMIT I'M HUNG ON HIM!) WITH KEITH RICHARDS & MICK JAGGER?- ON "BAD AS ME" CD. WOULD THE TRAVELING WILBURYS COUNT AS ONE OF YOUR SUPER GROUPS? HOW ABOUT THE HIGHWAYMEN?

[MaVolta]

Most definitely! Maybe super-super groups is more appropriate!

[l483260l]

[l483260l]

WOW- JUST RAN ACROSS A BIZARRE PAIR - ON LATE NIGHT TV- ANDY WILLIAMS & RAY CHARLES, THEN ANDY WILLIAMS/SIMON & GARFUNKEL.
