8 ULTIMATE INTERNATIONAL DUETS OF ALL TIME

NAVYA C
While solo performance is a challenge altogether and hundreds of individual artists have made their mettle in the world of music , duets have a special space always . The conversational dialogue that happens in duets cannot be seen in any other style of songs . While people might think duets are only meant for romantic purpose or expressing the feelings of love , it goes beyond just this single aspect . A duet can be a debate , a fun conversation between friends , or a counter argument as well ! Score brings you the 10 Ultimate international Duets of all time that will surely make you rethink on the scope of duets !
1 . Girl from the North Country- Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash : The song is a classic example of how a duet can also mean strong friendship between two legendary artists . With Bob Dylan ’ s thoughtful lyrics and Johnny Cash ’ s unique approach towards Country music , this song is an undisputed classic .
2 . Time of My Life- Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes : A dancing masterpiece , and the passionate voices shows the chemistry between a couple so brilliantly . A song that rocked the 80s decade in style , it became a jewel in a crown kind of a movie “ Dirty Dancing ”.
3 . Cheek to Cheek- Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong : When two Jazz legends come together , nothing less than extravaganza would happen . With Jazzy rhythms , Louis Armstrong ’ s baritone voice is amazingly complemented by Ella ’ s powerful voice . Duets are made for such reasons is it not ?
