Occasional Duets

There’s a feast of talent in this program as big stars join together to produce great songs. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder combine with their plea for racial equality with Ebony And Ivory. Fifties stars Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly combine with their million seller True Love and in the same era Jazz great Dinah Washington teams up with Brook Benton with the jaunty You’ve Got What It Takes. Legends Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer rev it up with (No More Tears) Enough Is Enough. And in a memorable performance another legend David Bowie joins Freddy Mercury and Queen with Under Pressure. The Aussie selection is our own rock star Johnny O’Keefe performing with Margaret McClaren for their version of Mockingbird.
