Talking of duets on another forum got me wondering if there is anyone with whom you would have liked to see/hear Dusty duet on record.
We know she duetted with many guests on her own show, and of course she guested on other Artistes shows as well.
Cilla Black, Spencer Davis, Pet Shop Boys, Darryl Hall are some of the names with whom she did record
But who in your view, would have been a humdinger of a recording duet partner for Dusty.
You can name a song as well if ya like!...

I'd like to have heard Dusty duet with some black American singers...
I think she and Madeline Bell's voice were so nice together when they backed each other up, I wish they had done a proper duet, although it's rarely done with two women.
As she admired Marvin Gaye so much I'd have like to hear them duet together. I'll leave it to some of the more musically inclined to tell me if her voice would have gone well with David Ruffin or Eddie Kendricks (?) or Levi Stubbs, or Stevie Wonder or .....

By the way, your choice could be a current act or someone who has joined that great big gig in the sky.
Sorry Nancy, I see you already realised that!...

Madeline Bell. But I hear several of their collaborations as duets in any case.
Marvin Gaye would come next on my list. But on a stomper like 'Love Starved Heart'. And of course 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' would be a dream come true.
Love Starved Heart..OOoww!;

Don't forget "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me", Nancy. Probably the closest thing we have as far as a duet. Love the song!

Yes, Marty that one is the closest we'll ever get. In my book it is a duet. A fabulous one. You can Dusty clear as anything, clear as a bell! This is one of my ultimate favourite songs. It's a stunner. Those Dusty vocals. The song! Madeline and Dusty together! It deserves a thread all by itself. I'll think about that tomorrow!

Not daft at all Sue, excellent idea!
On the hard side, Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse (if they were around at the sametime). I will add I'm not especially a fan of Amy, but I think Dusty might improve that considerably!
Carole King
Barbra Streisand
Petula Clark
Sandi Shaw
Shirley Bassey
Little Anthony (I always wished Dusty recorded Hurts So Bad and Going Out of My Head)
Jay Black (Jay and the Americans)
My list could go on and on never ending!

There is a demo recording around of Dusty and Madeline duetting together on I'm Gonna Leave You. I suppose it's more Dusty in the foreground and Madeline backing, with the guitar accompaniment possibly by Dusty. It's a bit crackly but really lovely. It was posted on here as a download a while back but that's now expired unfortunately.
I would have loved to have heard Dusty duet with two people she really admired, Peggy Lee and Bette Midler.

The demo version is really beautiful, Carole, I was lucky enough to have downloaded it before then. I'd have loved to see Miss Dusty duet with Martha Reeves or possibly even Aretha Franklin, though she'd probably have been terrified to record with Miss Franklin.

Dusty and Ella sing Gershwin. Ella, one of the mellowist and most musical voices, with someone whose voice is hard to describe, but would have been very complimentary in my opinion. Wish Dusty had done some of the old great hits. She did it live too bad we could not ask is it live or is it Momorex?

Dusty singing Tupelo Honey with Van 'the Man' Morrison might have been worth a listen.

She did backing vocals for him as Gladys Thong i believe, Carole. Elton John has written some lovely songs and the two of them together would have been great

Your'e right Sue, and there's a good chance that the Fraser CD "Gladys Thong Things...Dusty as a backing singer" will be one of the prizes in a future raffle.

I think Dusty and Luther Vandross would have sounded great on a duet.
He would also have been my choice to produce a follow up to her Reputation album. |

 Wasn't Dusty offered Don't Go Breaking My Heart? Personally I think it's a revolting song but it might have proved the entr馥 to better things! |

Since Roy Orbison is my other favorite singer I think a duet with him would be my dream choice.
Others Id like to have seen..
Al Green
Gene Pitney
Harry Nilsson
Cher
Dinah Washington
Etta James
Perhaps Rod Stewart also...but older Dusty

No, Kiki was always the intended partner for that song (which I love!) Richard, but Dusty was offered a deal with Elton's Rocket Record Company around that time 1976.
One of the reasons she declined was that the producer Gus Dudgeon wanted her to record the album at his studio in Berkshire but Dusty wanted her return to recording to be in LA. |
