On That Note: Dynamic Duos

[cyhiphopp]

And my second favorite Tegan and Sara song!

 

[cyhiphopp]

I remember when these two were the biggest deal on MTV. So controversial!

You beat me to The Black Keys. They are one of my favorite bands of the last decade plus. Wonderful style and great songs.

This is one of my favorite songs and one of their best videos as well.

Although both Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers were huge individual stars, I'm going to reference this duet. It is, almost certainly, Dolly Parton's biggest hit and it might also be Kenny Rogers' biggest hit.

Jimmy Fallon and Miley Cyrus re-created this on tonight show. I thought it was pretty good.

One of my all-time favorites:

The big rumor shortly after this song came out was that it was supposedly about heroin addiction - hence "Sail on, silver girl". Never been verified.

I could add some stuff from Run the Jewels, but it's pretty much NSFW

Paul Shaffer wrote this. Which, in part, explains why it's so great.

From the golden era of Stax records, comes the dynamic duo of Otis Redding and Carla Thomas. This isn't the original version of "Knock on Wood" but it's my favorite. I love their

My favorites.
1. Steely Dan.
2. Hall and Oates
3. Tears for Fears

Guilty pleasure/honorable mention: Yaz (Yazoo) Most of you will have to look that one up.

I believe this sumptuous piece of music and its album (Jazz Samba) started a bossa nova craze in the U.S. in the early 60s Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd.

Ira and Charlie Louvin. At least as good as the Everly's but they were country. Elvis came along about the time they hit their peak (mid 50s) and this kind of traditional country was pushed to the side.

Kind of cheating, but Oasis was the Gallagher brothers - when Liam & Noel worked together they made some of the best music of the 90s

Kind of cheating, but I can't resist a great harmony, like this one.

Walter Egan *and* Stevie Nicks

I liked a lot of the Everly Brothers but this was the best:



I bet most of you don't remember this one:



and another good one

While both were enormous solo stars in the country world (and he was a rock n roller prior to that), Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty recorded many memorable duets together. This remains perhaps the most well-known of all their songs - and it's one of my favorites, corny as it may be. The song reached #1 in 1973.

I first heard this from Neil Young, but it's a classic folk song from Ian Tyson. I read that he wrote it in New York City.



Judy Collins later took ownership of this song, but the original isn't too bad either:
