  1. I don't know if this would be considered a full blown duet, and it's not the way the officially released record sounded (which is how the overdubbed version of this video sounds), but this version of 'Tin Soldier' by the Small Faces with P.P. Arnold for TV sounds pretty good to me, even if a bit rough and raw.

    There are any number of songs trading off male and female vocals by the Jefferson Airplane, going back even before Grace Slick, with Signe Anderson taking I think the second verse on Let's Get Together. Grace did it several times later.

    A more currently one, but I am loving Becca Stevens duets with David Crosby on the tracks Sky Trails and also By The Light Of The Common Day.

    Their voices blend very well...........

    Awesome!

    I wish I could remember a specific song that features Thornetta Davis with Big Chief, but I can’t. She’s on a lot of their songs on Mack Avenue Skull Game.

    Thanks guys.

    The concentration of musical knowledge here is staggering.

    I didn't have a lot of these suggestions in my library, but I was able to expand the playlist to 15 songs.

    I'm gonna work on gettin' some of the others suggested.

    James Gang "Midnight Man"

    The female singer is Mary Sterpka - she sings the last verse. She was in a band with Joe Walsh before then (The Measles)

    One of my favorite songs.
