10 Best Duets Ever: No. 6

'Some Velvet Morning'
--Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood (1967)

Wading into deep waters (by Nancy Sinatra standards), Hazlewood's psychedelic composition weaves references to sex, drugs, daffodils and Greek mythology into a baroque, incomprehensible masterpiece that's as cool as it is strange. The oblique dialogue between a man and an ethereal angel/lover/wood nymph has had rock fans scratching their heads for decades.

Nancy and Lee created some of the best music of their time. I know younger people don't know this because the airwaves nowdays plays only current music that 10 years from now won't even be a whistle. Nancy and Lee's music on the otherhand is still as good as ever.Go to youtube and check it out for yourself.

This and their version of "Summer Wine" both get my nod as among the best duets.

Gosh.. the critic sure knows his words if not his music... but I guess that's his preferred style.. And he evidently makes good use of his "synonym" feature in his word processor. Microsoft should get the credit for this revue!

These duets couldn't have been too damn good, some of them I have never heard of...where did this person get their recommendations from? I would hate to see the list of songs they listen to...

If you have never heard it, how could you possibly know if it's good or not? So, is everything that you have not heard is bad? That's just stupid.
