I was just watching (for the umpteenth time) the music video of Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton doing Rena’s older hit “Does He Love You”. Two queens of country music blending their voices in a duet which, to my mind, presents the spirit of the song perfectly. And the video is excellently done, right down to the ending where Dolly asks if she gets to blow something up (a reference to the ending of the video of the original song), and the two of them agreeing that the cheating SOB doesn’t deserve either of them.
Anyway, this started me thinking: What singers do you wish would do a duet of one of their songs? Or for that matter, which singers do you wish would do a duet of any song. While my immediate thought is for singers who are both still alive and performing, I’m open to hearing thoughts on duets where one or both of the singers are no longer with us, or have retired for any reason. Hell, I’d even be interested if anyone would like to hear a singer doing a duet with their younger self.
