I love 'em.

My top dozen:

You Don't Bring Me Flowers (Streisand and Diamond)
Time To Say Goodbye (Bocelli and Brightman)
I Got You Babe (Bono and Cher)
One (Bono and Blige) (just ahead of the U2 head man with The Chairman of the Board, Pavarotti and Alicia Keys)
Walk This Way (Run DMC and Aerosmith)
Perhaps Love (Domingo and Denver)
Crazy in Love (Beyonce and Jay-Z)
Don't Go Breaking My Heart (John and Dee)
Under Pressure (Bowie and Mercury)
Hunger Strike (Cornell and Vedder)
Endless Love (Richie and Ross)
Fairytale of New York (Pogues and McColl)

One of the great aspects of this site for me is how many great artists and songs I have mined from iTunes based on board recommendations.

What are your favorites in this genre?

"Both Sides Now" - Paul Young and Maire Brennan

Paul Young

Whatever happened to him? I really liked him but it seems like he fell off of the earth in the late '80's.

Great call. Love that song

 

[EStreetJoe]

'King of the Hill' - Roger McGuinn & Tom Petty

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Bohemian Rhapsody, sung by Axl Rose and Elton John at the Freddie Mercury Tribute...

Best concert I've ever seen and by far the best duet I've ever seen...

 

[Webster]

14 posts and not a mention of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell?

 

[txsportsscribe]

Neil Diamond (Will Farrell) and Bigfoot (The Rock) - Saturday Night Live, 2002 season

 

[Songbird]

Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder in "Hunger Strike."


That song moves me like few others. Too bad they didn't/don't collaborate more.

Also, Meatloaf and that backseat-of-a-'75-Camaro woman in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."

 

[EStreetJoe]

Also, Meatloaf and that backseat-of-a-'75-Camaro woman in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."

But which backseat woman are you referring to?
Ellen Foley who sang the song on the album
or
Karla DeVito who toured with Meatloaf at the time and appears in the video.
