    10 Best Duets Ever: No. 10

    • Posted   by Spinner Staff

    Like peanut butter and jelly, like peanut butter and chocolate -- heck, like peanut butter and anything -- sometimes two great (or even not so great) musical forces combine to become more than the sum of their parts. Here are the best examples of duet alchemy.

    'Easy Lover'
    --Phil Collins and Philip Bailey (1984)


    Somehow, 'Easy Lover' weaves shameless cheese into brilliant gold. One reason is the decision by the two Phils to replace the horns they each typically sing over with badass electric guitars. Another is the pair's infectious enthusiasm -- which is odd, as they're singing about a dangerous woman who puts men on their knees. On second thought, their enthusiasm makes perfect sense.

    I think the Bing Crosby and David Bowie Xmas duet on Little Drummer Boy deserves consideration. I am not a Crosby fan nor a Bowie fan....but together it was pretty good.

    It is a good song, but I agree. Not top ten worthy.

    Exxcuuusse ME! Are you freakin` kidding? With few exceptions, singers and songs I`ve never heard of. Approximately 70 years of "pop" music and this is the best you can come up with? Not too hard to guess which demographic you`re pandering to.

    I recall a duet in 1979 of Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand that went #1, You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore. This rating is a JOKE!!!!!

    "Careless Love" by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Their cover of the old standard was recorded live and improvised in 1968. Very funny. Loads of references to various bullet calibers.
