I don't think either of these two ever hit it big in the music industry, but wow that's a nice combination. One of the more hauntingly beautiful duets I've ever heard.

This is stretching it, but since the USC Marching Band showed up why not. Lindsey usually does solo instrumental stuff, here she's added vocals from Lizzy Hale of Halestorm.

This was their breakout hit. The male vocalist isn't a member of the band. I'm pretty sure after the fact it came out that the studio forced this on the band. It's kind of an interesting contrast, but the dude's voice sounds fairly crappy compared to Amy Lee.

 

[Huskee11]

Two incredible talents

 

[Bigboote]

One of my favorite Louis Armstrong songs. I've never heard another song he did with May Alix, although they almost certainly recorded a few others.

A very good country song.

 

[Bama fan]

How about Fleetwood Mac and the USC Marching Band?

Check out Stevie Nicks twirling the baton.

I love the video, the song, and ,of course, I love Stevie Nicks.

CMT's long running program Crossroads is a series of concerts featuring a country star combined w/ a pop or rock star. They play some of both of their hits, and maybe some covers. It's yielded some intriguing combinations over the years. Here's Kacey Musgraves and Katy Perry. Audio only, can't seem to find a video. Cover of a Dolly Parton song.

A sad country song, one of my favorite.

Fine version of a very good song. Crossroads has given us some memorable stuff.

I think this qualifies as an unexpected duet.

Nice. I think this one was lingering on the edge of my memory but I forgot it before I could post it.

Alison keeps showing up with various male duet partners. Here's another.

How about Alison and Gillian, 2 of my favorite vocalists. From "O Brother Where Art Thou?"

Is it possible we didn't get this one yet?
