Stumblin' into Duets

PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke. Sublime.

Space - I miss the 90s a little.

A couple of Iggy Pop duets with two distinctive voices of the early 80s...

And Michael Stipe with two late 80s alt voices

Here's a personal favorite from someone unknown, at least in the USA. UK's Marian Segal recorded an album in 1970 with a band called Jade, it went cut rack over here. Don't know about the UK. This song she wrote, a duet here, has been recorded by several others, so apparently someone somewhere was listening.

I usually sing both parts but admittedly struggle a tad in the upper register.

Arrgghh! Sweet mystery of strife, at last I've found thee
Arrgghh! at last I know the secret of it all
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The idle hopes and joy and burning tears that fall.

For 'tis love and love alone in which I'm falling
And 'tis me and me alone I’ve waited for
And my heart has heard the answer to its calling
For it is me that rules for evermore.

Chrissy Hynde & Ali Campbell of UB40 -

Two R&B stars of the fifties and sixties came up with a big hit, Let It Be Me. 1964

You made me think of this! Jackie Wilson and Lavern Baker doing an X rated version of Think Twice in 1965 - sounds like they're having fun....

NSFW lyrics

Wishing peace and no pain for the Queen of Soul.

Uhm . . . I couldn't get that vid to play . . .

Ah . . . fixed that, I see.

I'm just so happy no one has shared Ebony & Ivory yet. I have great respect for the artists individually, but that song makes my ears bleed.

Erm, right. Duet. So many good ones. I really like this one, for example.

Oh, and this one too... Bit of a different tone here though, but I really love the lyrics.

That's nice, but that makes me wonder what you feel about George Michael then...

Big day out.

Parla Piu Piano


Parla più piano e nessuno sentirà ,
Il nostro amore lo viviamo io e te,
Nessuno sa la verità ,
Neppure il cielo che ci guarda da lassù.

Insieme a te io resterò,
Amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me,
Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te,
Nessuno sa la verità ,
è un grande amore e mai più grande esisterà .

Insieme a te io resterò,
Amore mio, sempre così.

Parla più piano e vieni più vicino a me,
Voglio sentire gli occhi miei dentro di te,
Nessuno sa la verità ,
è un grande amore e mai più grande esisterÃ

Songwriters: Lawrence Kusik / Nino Rota

I hope he's resting in peace.

This one's a bit different.
