Greatest Duets.....

[Jammer]

Stuck home feeling like shite and have been going thru the old CD#s

Interested to see what others would rate as there top three duets over the last few decades....

1. I´m going with Bowie Mecury´s Under pressure..... epic song that still sounds great ( despite Mr V. Ice best efforts ) two wonderful voices

2. Bit left field but Run DMC'S/ Aerosmiths `"Walk this way" was a great tune.... original...great sense of fun...just worked really well

3. Going with a ballad Kate Bush Peter Gabrials " don`t give up " still gives me chills..... great contrasting voices..... heartfelt nearly dreamy feel to it..........

Natalie Cole and her father Nat King Cole with Unforgettable. Despite the technical editing and trickery involved (Nat King Cole died in 1965) it is still a duet nonetheless.

A bit left of centre, but I always liked the duet Kate Ceberano did with Wendy Mathews.
"You've always got the blues" from some soundtrack.
I'm not a huge fan of either of them, but to me they just clicked on that one.

Don't like Jay z alicia keys or most modern pop but "Empire State Of Mind" is a modern classic
