:rolleyes:
Jimmy Somerville(formerly of Bronski Beat and later the Communards) did a duet with Marc Almond(of Soft Cell) on a cover of I Feel Love/Johnny Remember Me.
The Weeping Song - Nick Cave and Blixa Bargeld
I think you’re jumping to conclusions.
He could have meant that he questioned the male duet status as it was David Bowie with Queen, not David Bowie with Freddie Mercury and Queen.
While it is two men singing, is it a duet if it is an outside performer singing with the band and their lead singer? I think that’s nebulous.
Though didn’t David Bowie duet with Marilyn Manson on I’m Afraid of Americans?
You could very well be right, and if I so, I promptly apologize to Dahnlor.
Oh, and thank you for pointing that out, Mockingbird. I need to give myself one of these: :rolleyes:
Back to the OP, Eminem and Elton John did a duet of “Stan.”
Of course, if I’m wrong I’ll be suffering similar occular damage.
Does it sound as awful as it sounds? (heh.)
Chef and Elton John singing “Love Gravy”.
Actually, a few years back Jules Shear did an entire album, called Between Us, of songs that he specifically wrote to be duets. (In the liner notes he complains that most duets could just be one singer songs, as there isn’t really any difference in perspective in the two parts- the lyrics are just arbitrarily split between the two singers. He wanted to write songs in which the singers could sing back and forth to each other each with a different point of view.)
There are some great guest vocalists on this album, about third of them are male.
One of the highlights of the album is a song called “Revenge”, a duet between Jules Shear and Freedy Johnston. The song is a conversation between two guy friends when one has just been hurt by a woman. It’s a pretty intense emotional song.
His guy/guy duets with Ron Sexsmith and Curtis Stigers are also excellent.
Depends if you like rap, I guess? I liked it.
Ray and Dave Davies, ‘Hatred: A Duet.’
Oh, I suppose if you wanted to get esoteric about it, you could include Hey There from “The Pajama Game,” in which John Raitt duets with a Dictaphone recording of himself.
Tom Jones and Robbie Williams, ‘Are you gonna to go my way’
“Perhaps Love” by Placido Domingo and John Denver should have killed the subgenre, but failed.
How about Willie and Ray Charles doing Georgia On My Mind if for no other reason than that their individual versions set the standard for how this song is to be done.
Are we permitted to list those “two guy acts” like The Righteous Brothers? There’s got to be at least a dozen of them. Two that spring to mind as examples of the other extreme would be Sandler and Young. Man, could they murder music!
Not Frank. Perhaps you meant Dweezil Zappa.
Linkin Park has two singers.
And Rob Zombie has done some duets, including Brick House with Lionel Richie.
Streisand also did a duet with Celine Dion “Tell Him”.
Hey, what about Bono and Sinatra doing “I’ve Got You Under My Skin?”
Yes, Dweezil! Thank you for correcting me.
Elton John and George Michael did the ‘dont let the sun go down on me’ song. I’m not sure what the title is, although that is probably it.
