10 Best Duets Ever: No. 10
- Posted by Spinner
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 pick Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman "Time To Say Goodbye" as one of the top 10 duets of all time. Two of the most amazing singers and an awesome song! What more could you ask for? Yes, it's classical, and they're a class act!

"Easy Lover" By John Belushi and Dave Chapelle...er, Phil Collins and Philip Bailey. XD Seriously though, that's who I think they look like.

"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.

I agree that it's a good song but not a #1 in my opinion.

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!!!!!
