I've always had a soft spot for duets which I guess it stems from an early love of Sam and Dave, anyone got any recommendations of the less obvious ,any genre Northern , Deep etc

                  Cheers in advance

Brilliant tune - I'm gonna dig mine out again.

Cheers.

It's fairly mainstream but there is the whole King and Queen album - Otis Redding and Carla Thomas.

Just one representative track here.

You know that man's voice is not so much a voice - more a musical instrument!

 

 

 

 

 

Motown Duets;

                             "Let's Make Love Now" = Art Posey and Honey Sessions( plus Levi and Jeans Vers)

                              "It Must Be Love Baby"= Chuck Jackson and Yvonne Fair.

                               " Don't Knock My Love = Marvin and Lady Di. . ( those horns do remind m of Ian's "Reachin')

                                Great Topic,should run and run.!    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 "

 

 

 

Sorry Ian but this is the Jimmy & Vella track for me can only imagine what it would have been like to see this live, superb percussion and an old Torch song if I remember correctly.

Couple of left fielders  the Jimmy Cobb track is Gregory Hines and Marilyn Redfield

some that spring to mind.....

Pic & Bill - talk about love

Alton & johnny - hang on in there babay

bob & earl - harlem shuffle

Marvin & Kim Weston - 'a few'

Marvin & Mary Wells - once upon a time

frankie & johnny - i'll hold you

Judy clay & william bell -private number

Nice track, two great vocals very easy on the ear

one from not too long ago in the scheme of things, won't be to everyone's taste
