Fantastic Duos!

This blog is dedicated to just what the title says, awesome pairs, famous collaborations... :D

First off: Itzhak Perlman, violinist, and Daniel Barenboim, pianist, play Brahms

Next, one of my favorite movie-musical scenes: Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby in "White Christmas

(Note: If you haven't seen the movie, you might want to watch this FIRST for context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYZbgG4D2oA)

Our next wonderful combination is: Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra

(BONUS (!) for those who love the old classics: Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby in "High Society"

Now to a literary combination: Frank Peretti (the definitive Christian suspense writer) and Ted Dekker (the other big writer in that genre) combined to write House, which is one of the scariest books I have ever read - even rereading, when I already know what is going to happen, is scary!
It is really good! Don't go see the movie though. They take the Christian redemptive message out of the story and just make it a lame scary movie (or so I've heard. I haven't actually seen it.)

Another combination is Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson - although well known in popular culture, not many people read stories beyond "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." I recently bought The Complete Sherlock Holmes and I am absolutely loving it. Here is a link that has the complete text of some of the short stories: http://www.mysterynet.com/holmes/more.shtml

Finally, two famous comic book duos: Calvin and Hobbes

And: Betty and Veronica from the Archie comics, which Sophia and I used to read

I will leave you with "Anything you can do" a hilarious duet. It is originally from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun," but it is taken out of context in a wonderful way :) Performed by the wonderful Ruthie Henshall with John Barrowman
Enjoy!
