Totally forgot about those 2! Fantastic duets they are indeed!

Noone has mentioned Islands in the Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers!

and Kids by Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams, it's such a sexy song, and it's so fun to sing along.

funny fact: at the kylie minogue concert when she sung this a black female back up singer sung the robbie parts and the backup singer sounded so much like robbie it wasn't funny!

Simon and Garfunkel!

Good thinking! I never think of their songs as duets, which of course they are.

Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss

Wiskey lullably



more to follow i'm sure.

I would've killed to hear Karen Carpenter sing a duet with David Gates of Bread.

Sigh.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who ever thought about a duet between Karen Carpenter and David Gates...

She did make two duets, outside of her performances with her brother Richard.

She performed a medley of songs with Ella Fitzgerald. The song was released on the final Carpenters album "As Time Goes By.'

And on her solo album, she performed "Making Love in the Afternoon" with Chicago's Peter Cetera. But his voice is mostly in the chorus, as opposed to singing individual verses.

Here's a few of my favorite duets:

Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye


Billy Preston and Syreeta - With You, I'm Born Again


Michael McDonald and Patti LaBelle - On My Own

'The Prayer' is an awesome song! I love Andrea but I prefer Celine singing it with Josh Groban. I would love it if Celine recorded it with Anthony Callea.

Some of my favorites:

Timeless - Kelly Clarkson & Justin Guarini (from the floptacular "From Justin To Kelly", but it's a fantastic song)
Count on Me - Whitney Houston & CeCe Winans (It makes me wanna cry, and they compliment eachother so well)
Whenever You Call - Mariah Carey and Brian McKnight (You can't even tell that it was originally a solo song from Mariah)
My Boo - Usher & Alicia Keys (They sounded great together)
The Boy Is Mine - Brandy & Monica (It was cool to see these 2 sing together)
I'm Your Angel - R. Kelly & Celine Dion (Very unlikely pairing, which makes it sound good IMO)
A Whole New World - Peobo Bryson & Regina Belle (The harmonies sound incredible)
I Just Can't Stop Loving You - Micheal Jackson & Siedah Garrett (They both sound similar, so they naturally blend together)
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole (Breathtaking, for so many reasons)
Over & Over - Nelly Featuring Tim McGraw (Totally unlikely duet, which makes it unique)
