Now here's another duet - either the modern version - Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams or the one with Frank and Nancy Sinatra.
Enjoy!

In memoriam | No Russian ones so far - here are two | Jul 6, 2009 |
"Подмосковные Вечера" (Podmoskovnye Vechera, but better known in English as "Moscow Nights"), Владимир Трошин (Vladimir Troshin)
"Романс Рощина" (Romance Roshchina), Леонид Серебренников (Leonid Serebrennikov).
I hope our Russian colleagues will add a few more.

I hope our Russian colleagues will add a few more.
A surprising absence from the list so far is Bing Crosby. I nominate "White Christmas" and "Busy Doing Nothing" (the latter with William Bendix and Cedric Hardwicke).
Vera Lynn has had a couple of mentions. My favourite song of hers is "Yours", which you don't hear much nowadays. It is based on a Spanish song called "Quiereme Mucho" - not to be confused with "Besame Mucho", which could be included in its own right. ▲ Collapse

My Italian soul loves this duet: Pavarotti & James Brown

Enjoy
