Fun [YouTube] Post music clips from YouTube featuring unexpected duets / covers

I was a big fan of Sixteen Stone. Not so much after that. But I like that cover as much as any of their originals.

 

In my opening post, dude!

Peter Gabriel, Joan Osborne, Tony Rich, Gloria Estefan, Natalie Merchant & Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, "In Your Eyes"

NIN covers Queen's "Get Down Make Love"

 

Ohh. These are lovely;

Greg Allman, Bonnie Raitt & the Neville Brothers Midnight Rider and Tell it like it is

Greg & Aaron hitting some nice harmonies, and Bonnie's slide guitar is pretty tasty in Rambler.

 

An incredible Jeff Healey with Dr John, "See the Light".

It's amazing that guitar playing that looks so ridiculous can sound so sublime.

 

not "unexpected" (neither are a lot of the ones already posted really), but still awesome: dylan and cash on the johnny cash show

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King performing "Pride and Joy"
