    MY FAVE 20 DUET RECORDS

    TODAY........FROM 1961

    I suppose I'm being overly optimistic in hoping that we can all agree
    here on exactly what a duet is 😊

    Bearing in mind that my Duet Top 20's in latter years of the era we
    discuss here are going to be top heavy with material from just one act
    (no prizes for guessing) let's see how this flies.....

    MY FAVE 20 DUET RECORDS

    without doing time consuming research I can't add anything
    to Roger's 1961 list of duets

    this was released in 1961 but it originally came out in 1958
    as by The Pledges on [Rev 3517;;Phoenix AZ]:

    Skip and Flip - Betty Jean [Time 1031;b-side] - 1961 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhZSHNHCFT0

    So according to you it's only a duet if 2 people are both singing. So "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers is not a duet.

    Here is the dictionary definition.

    a performance by two people, especially singers, instrumentalists, or
    dancers.

    So is "Exodus" by Ferrante & Teicher" a duet?

    How about "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny.

    I guess according to you both people have to be doing the same thing for
    it to be a duet. If one is playing and one is singing, ala Les Paul &
    Mary Ford, then it's not a duet?

    In the Les Paul & Mary Ford case both are playing but only one is
    singling. So that's not a duet?

    As I just mentioned to Diane "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is certainly a
    duet as both Ike & Tina contribute vocally so I have messed up bad in
    missing that one---"one" being the operative word for it since it would
    be #1 on my list (its a 9 on my 1961 list)

    Did not know the Gene & Ruth. Not bad at all,need to hear it a few more
    times

    Diane says that the male voice on "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is not Ike.
    It's some other guy. So is true is it still a duet for you?

    Notes I made in an mp3 filename says Mickey Baker was the guy (and Sylvia Vanderpool played rhythm guitar, for what it's worth).

    I've got about 20 mp3s of this song (from 20 different compilations of
    course) and what's crazy is that I never got around to suffixing any of
    them with a (G), which is why I couldn't readily list it as a fave 1961
    duet.

    I stand to be corrected, but if Roger is to be consistent with his Vocal
    Group definition I don't think he'll accept this recording as a duet :-)

    I already knew it's not Ike's vocal on there but it IS a single male

    So according to you it's only a duet if 2 people are both singing. So "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers is not a duet.

    Here is the dictionary definition.

    a performance by two people, especially singers, instrumentalists, or dancers.

    So is "Exodus" by Ferrante & Teicher" a duet?

    How about "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny.

    Yes,I've boned up on the duets definition too and both of these are
    duets if its accepted that instrumentals count too. At the time of the
    Dazzling Duets contest neither instrumental "counted" so neither was
    included (and of course NOBODY here raised a single objection to that fact)---but times change and so do minds so I'm more minded now to
    include examples like these as duets so you can look forward to "Sleep
    Walk" almost certainly featuring in the 1959 edition of the present
    series of posts

    I guess according to you both people have to be doing the same thing
    for it to be a duet. If one is playing and one is singing, ala Les Paul
    & Mary Ford, then it's not a duet?

    In the Les Paul & Mary Ford case both are playing but only one is
    singing. So that's not a duet?

    Under the definition of "duet" as currently presented I imagine Les &
    Mary qualify as a "duet" which will certainly make the earlier 1950's
    years editions of this series much easier to compile

    Of course taking this "new" definition to its logical conclusion now
    means that EVERY Ike & Tina record with a vocal is a duet since Ike is
    playing on all whilst Tina does her thing

    Diane says that the male voice on "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" is not Ike. >>>It's some other guy. So is true is it still a duet for you?

    Notes I made in an mp3 filename says Mickey Baker was the guy (and
    Sylvia
    Vanderpool played rhythm guitar, for what it's worth).

    I've got about 20 mp3s of this song (from 20 different compilations of
    course) and what's crazy is that I never got around to suffixing any of
    them with a (G), which is why I couldn't readily list it as a fave 1961
    duet.

    I stand to be corrected, but if Roger is to be consistent with his Vocal
    Group definition I don't think he'll accept this recording as a duet :-)

    I already knew it's not Ike's vocal on there but it IS a single male
    vocal and matched to Tina's vocals = a bona fide duet,no?

    Fine by me, squire, Bob’s your uncle!
