What in your view is the best living singer-dead singer duet?

Unforgettable - Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole

Both dead now, Natalie  died just a couple of weeks ago.
Can't remember there being a RIP thread for her, I'm sure there must have been one and I've just forgotten.

Islands In The Stream - Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton

I think you need to go back and read the rules again young man.

one of them must be alive.

Without a doubt it's Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, singing Summertime.

A great song, although not my favourite song by a long way, but their take on it, and the astounding orchestral music clinches it, for me.

Peters and Lee

Keith Harris and Orville

I think the last 2 posts indicate that this is not being taken seriously, especially tmm's. Never heard a song by the 2 footballers.

Never heard a song by the 2 footballers.


shall I spell it out

I thought the David Bowie / Bing Crosby Christmas number - Burr rumper bum bum
was a candidate but both were alive when it was made afaik.
I think Fitzgerald and Armstrong were both alive too when they recorded together, sorry km.

This is the sort of thing I mean:

Freddie Mercury, Paul Rodgers and Queen.
One guy is dead, and the others are not.

I get it now Kenny

The Ghost was some player!

Can't mind the song, but I saw a great duet on telly years ago by Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. They were fantastic.

Who stole Bongo's trousers?

George Formby and Bill Gates ...

When I'm cleaning windows ... Bill's still at it, now 10, FFS!

simon & garfunkel

Lennon - McCartney

Kenny Rogers and Dolly is a good call albeit that it was only one song.

Going back a little...

The Everly Brothers

Ike & Tina Turner

Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood

Sony and Cher

The Righteous Bros

Simon & Garfunkel must be top of the tree.

Fabulous music for all time, and inspirational lyrics.

Based on this thread, I'd never make a parachute instructor - some basic detail like the parachute being on your back when you jumped would get overlooked.
The basic premise here is that one of the duet have to be dead when the recording was made.

I've read and re-read the opening question, and you surely must concede that it takes some understanding!

So we are looking for something where one party is deceased, and their vocal is then resurrected, and and rerecorded as a duet, with another living singer?

There must be hundreds of them.....

Yeees. Exactly right. Are you available as a proof reader AP?

Bongo can you do a quiz question every night as I think Kweeveen may have died, I think you may be a suitable replacement.

I'm going to complete miss the point and say The Carpenters

Yeees. Exactly right. Are you available as a proof reader AP?

I wouldn't be much use, as I said "and and"!!

Well at least you can kook.
