Unexpected song collaborations that are ace

[Scout2016]

AIBU to ask for song recommendations where the song is ace but you wouldn't have imagined the artists hanging out together? Ideally a full on proper collaboration, not just featuring. So not Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks, who you'd expect to have been mates, or Metallica and Marianne Faithful because she just "la la la la"s along to a very much Metallica song.
I'll go Sinead O'Connor and Willie Nelson's "Don't Give Up" and Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson "Candy."

That reminds me, who would have expected Neil Young to marry Darryl Hannah? Whole other thread I know, but

Sisters of Mercy and Maggie Reilly on several songs.

Sisters of Mercy and Ofra Haza Temple of love

Bruce and Sting on The River

Delta goodrem and colin hay (from men at work) doing Downunder

@BovaryX

YES!

Pavarotti and Elton John's "We'll Live Like Horses" (I think that's what it's called, anyway) is a rare treat.

Skin from skunk anansie and Pavarotti. Follow me down, it's a work of art.

I was going to say the same two as Quentin!

Tom Jones did a collaborative album which has some gems. Can't remember what it's called now though

Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona

Skin from skunk anansie and Pavarotti. Follow me down, it's a work of art.

Does anybody remember 'Miss Sarajevo', by Pavarotti and U2 under the pseudonym of 'Passengers'?

Does Andrea Bocelli and Dual Lipa's 'If Only' count, as she's only credited as 'featured'?

Also, 'Barcelona' has become such a familiar all-time classic that it's easy to overlook the fact that Freddie and Monserrat moved in very different musical fields.

x-posted with Pelleas there.

It was the mention of Pavarotti that reminded me - like you say, WeBuilt Barcelona is one it's easy to take for granted.

John Denver and Placido Domingo, Perhaps Love.

Someone's already said it, but Jay-z and Linkin park

Pj Harvey and Thom Yorke

Skin did Follow Me Down with Pavarotti????!!!! Wow

@SpongebobNoPants - I love Green Day and Norah Jones and have a real soft spot for the Everlys. How the fuck did I not know about this????

Thank you so much - that's my weekend listening sorted out.

@BobbaMom decided that recommendation couldn't wait o snuck off to stick my headphones in... and oh my! Thank you so much. Started off thinking sound was a bit dodge, by the end my eyes were welling up.
Are you a fan of Skin in general? Her "Carmen Queasy" with Maxim is one of my go to favourites. Very different vibe of course.

I agree about Barcelona being a fantastic cross over. A gamble that definitely paid off!

Love this

Tom Jones and The Cardigans, Burning down the house.

Rediscovered it this week. Way more fun than I remembered.

@RobotandPenguin enjoy
It’s such a beautiful album

Just realised my typo - Dua Lipa, not 'Dual'; there's only one of her
