POLL: Favorite Duet.....

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Won't link YouTube clips because the poll could only hold five nominees. There are a lot of great duets out there, and these are mostly classics I grew up with (I reluctantly included Sonny & Cher because the sung as a duo). Didn't include holiday duets; these are all songs that were hits on Billboard. Would love to hear other favorites, certainly not a definitive list.

3 Votes and please write in!

1. Sonny & Cher - I Got You Babe

2. Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney - Say Say Say

3. Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes - Up Where We Belong

4. Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton - Islands in the Stream

5. Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around

6. Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - Easy Lover

7. John Travolta & Olivia Newton John - You're the One that I Want

8. David Bowie & Queen - Under Pressue

9. Diana Ross & Lionel Richie - Endless Love

10. Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

Well, I didn't want to include singing duos (like Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, etc.). Sonny & Cher slipped in though.

Point of poll was to highlight 'one off' duets; not duos who perform together regularly.

“Easy Lover” has always been a favorite. Collins and Bailey was a good collaboration.

From your list I would have to go with Elton and Kiki or Bowie and Mercury, but for me nothing can beat this one ... all-time classic Motown ...

So is this precursor to who's the hottest set of female duo's for this weeks poll? One can only hope!

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title. I was highly disappointed when I opened it.

A *fantastic* poll, sir.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

hmm, I'll have to think about this a bit. Off the top of my head, Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, in The Time of my Life

I was going to include it but felt I would have to give up 'Up Where We Belong', which is burned into my memory from watching 'An Officer and a Gentleman' so many times as a youth. Great song.

Tina Turner & Bryan Adams in It's Only Love

And men don't?

Being this is not a typical or expected Midnighter poll I am tossing a flag!

You dirty SOB. Just when I think I'm out....

Perhaps Love by John Denver and Placido Domingo.

"If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true, my memories of love will be of you."
Geeze. I wish I could write lines like that.

Great one.

A few years back, my workplace had an annual meeting at which the entertainment was what I would describe as sort of a composite 80's power ballad band, which included among others John Cafferty, Mickey Thomas, David Bickler, and the former lead singer from Toto. Toward the end of the show, the Toto guy walks over to the woman who was doing backing vocals, and says to her, "This is usually the point in the show where I would get down on my knee and ask you to sing with me. But I just had surgery."

That was the best duet ever, and I don't even remember the song.

Also, I would probably throw a vote towards Lauper/Brazilian Time after Time.

And Lovett/Reed with What Do You Do?
