The late 1950s brought us Louis Prima and Keely Smith.
Damn you and your mic drops! How can anyone follow this number? Gold. Thank you. This thread is now closed. The part that gets lost posting here are all the great stories in the comments section. I love this one: Got a chance to see Keely in 2010 in CA. She was absolutely genuine. She pitched the first number, "It's Magic". She stopped mid-note to say, "Stop! Stop! What the hell... " Someone right in front of us hollered.... "WE LOVE YOU KEELY"... She said "I love you too and you deserve better." She started over and absolutely killed it!!! The rest of the show was absolutely amazing! I was so happy I was able to see this legend in my lifetime!This duet came on the car radio the other night. I hadn't heard it in years. They seem to be doing it live off the floor in this Grammy's clip and if the comments are to be believed: It was the first time they sang this together. For the album, due to professional commitments, they each performed their parts on separate coasts, and a recording company mixed them. This is one of the top truly magical moments in television history.Barbra Streisand Neil Diamond - You Don't Bring Me Flowers |

"Riding with the King" -- B.B. King and Eric Clapton, Riding with the King (2000)
Winner of the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album
This is their first collaborative album, though Clapton recorded "Rock Me Baby" with King on his duets album, Deuces Wild (1997).

Love that, Bunny. I also love this duet he did with Tracy Chapman for A Very Special Christmas Live (1999), which the TNT network broadcast. TNT was really good about music programming back then (I especially remember a Brian Wilson tribute) and I taped a lot of them, though this clip is from YouTube.
And I don't imagine many of us in the Music threads missed this, but just in case, here's the stellar Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs from the recent Grammys. A lot of people have been waiting for this one.

Not quite a duet, but I can't not post this. From a 2010 Les Paul tribute show. Hot, hot, hot. They've got it going on, especially the drummer.

The song was inspired by the Depression-era photographs of Dorothea Lange, showing poverty-stricken Americans in Dust Bowl conditions. Gabriel saw Lange's images in a book entitled In This Proud Land (1973).

To quote our great CFTR prophet, I found this while looking for something else.
I was trying to find the La Belle clip from Disco's Revenge. Whilst googling fruitlessly away, I was struck by how often Patti & co sing live on tv. How did she/they do it? So many others claim they were forced to lip sync and took sly revenge with stuffed birds, giant drum sticks and laughing fits. Patti must have told them to get stuffed.
I am also struck by the fact that by the time this Steve Binder produced TV special aired in 1985, neither performer is a spring chicken. And yet I can't tell. Can you tell?
More fun than humans could possibly imagine.

I love how confident they are in what they're doing, so that they can split up and work entirely different parts of the stage and still sing together. What a team. And both can bring the energy down when the occasion calls for it and really work the emotions.

Here's another wild woman. My local PBS just played this concert for pledge season. Merrie Clayton is still the one and only, but Gaga gives it a good shot. And, for Bunny, Prince Charlie is there on his throne.

"Something Stupid" (1967) -- Frank Sinatra with Nancy Sinatra
The song was written by Carson Parks and originally recorded by Carson and Gaile in 1966. It certainly was not the international sensation Frank and Nancy had with it. This duet is the only father and daughter duet to hit No. 1 in the US.
