Anything Ella and Louis put to wax, especially Dancing Cheek to Cheek.


My favorite from Ella & Louis is "Moonlight in Vermont"

One that's yet to be mentioned is Lou Reed/Mo Tucker; "I'm Sticking with You" and Lou and Nico, Femme Fatale

I really like the P.J. Harvey/Mark Lanegan song "Hit the City".
Britta Phillips and Dave Wareham (Luna) do a nice take on "Bonnie & Clyde"
Though it's more a backing vocal performance by Rickie-Lee Jones than a duet; Lyle Lovett's song "North Dakota" is good.
The B-52s "Dance This Mess Around"
"Crying"; KD Lang/Roy Orbison
"Interstate" Eleventh Dream Day
Peter Gabriel/Laurie Anderson: "Excellent Birds"

I forgot one of my favorites, Paul Simon/Phoebe Snow: "Gone at Last"

First two I thought of were already mentioned:
Stars-Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Kenny, Dolly-Islands in the Stream

I'll add Sonny & Cher-I've Got You Babe......seriously. The part where Cher kicks it up a notch and comes back rockin' it melts me.

I knew there was a Bush/Gabriel duet I should remember, but only "Games without Frontiers" came to mind.

I'm not familiar with all these choices but it seems to me that some of these aren't really duets but just songs with dual male/female lead vocals.

Maybe the hook/riff/lick thread has me being overly technical, but I always thought duets involved male/female harmonizing and not just vocal interplay. Am I wrong?

And Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris should own this thread.

Joe Pisapia/Liz Hopper in Watercolor are a more modern version of gorgeous duets.

I'll accept both harmonizing and vocal interplay here. Nice choices everyone except for you Rads. :wink:


I smell a mix coming on.

I've always been a sucker for that Iggy Pop / Katie Pierson song, "Candy" as well.


Oh, oh... Iggy does a cover of Cole Porter's "What a Swell Party This Is" with Debbie Harry that totally rocks.

(adding more votes too for York/Harvey, Cave/Harvey and Ella/Louis)

Then you can just add in all those great songs by bands like Mojave 3/Slowdive that almost always have male/female vocals.

Then there's another fav of mine: "Love is Strange" by Mickey & Sylvia (from the soundtrack to one of my most hated movies).

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" - Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks

The one they did on Hard Promises, "Outsider," was also really good.

Can't remember who she was, but the female who dueted with Bachmann on several of the Dignity & Shame songs made that album, in my opinion.

np: John Vanderslice - "Gainesville, Fla."

I'd like to hear this at some point.

Speaking of Joe, I read last month that Rufus Wainwright said 'Daydreams' was the best record he'd heard in a long time and singled out 'Dancing Partner' as one for the ages.

At your convenience Billy, thanks.

Funny how 'Daydreams' is a record I consistently go back to. So good.
