How do you feel about listening to Recordings, in which one artist shares vocals with another who is dead?
I ask because on Helene Fischer's Christmas album "Weihnachten" (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra), she performs Duets with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. On "White Christmas", on which she sings with Bing, the contrast between his vocals and that of Helene's is rather apparent. One can definitely tell, that Bing's were recorded long ago (from what I have read, he recorded two Versions in the 1940s) and of course Helene's are recent. Listening to it felt to me a bit surreal. It is all understandable however, as the Technology then was not as advanced as it is today. Having said this, I like both singers.
I also remember hearing other such recordings. One was between Natalie Cole and her Father, Nat King Cole with "Unforgettable", though they may have done others.
EDIT: This probably should have been posted in "General Music Discussion", although I did not think it would have been very out of place here.

It's happened with country music. Hank Williams Jr. with Hank Sr. on There's A Tear In My Beer. Deborah Allen pairing with Jim Reeves and even two deceased persons doing a duet,that being Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline.

While not quite the same thing, Flo Rida sampled Etta James' voice from "Something's Got A Hold On Me" in "Good Feeling." She passed away while "Good Feeling" was still on AT40.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned "Free As A Bird" by The Beatles in late 1995 with Paul, George, and Ringo with 1977 demos of John Lennon.

"Free As A Bird" reached the top ten in late 1995-It was included on the "Anthology" series which aired that fall.

More recently, there’s Kygo with Whitney Houston and “Higher Love.”

Due to the high mortality rate and large amounts of unreleased studio material rappers have, especially in the 90s, there are many examples of 2pac and Notorious B.I.G. on tracks years after their assassinations. Some have reached the top 40. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duets:_The_Final_Chapter#SinglesWas Unforgettable mentioned yet? While I doubt it was in the CHR top 40, it had to of charted somewhere and due to it being such a popular track at weddings and anniversary parties, I felt it deserved a mentioned. |

Yes, "Unforgettable" was mentioned in the first post of this thread. I just happen to be listening to the CT40 shows from 1991 in order, and that song recently dropped out of the countdown. Speaking of 1991, while not so at the time, Marky Mark's "Good Vibrations" entered the top 5 this week, and Loleatta Holloway is now gone (she died on my 36th birthday). |

"Unforgettable" was the first hit of significance that I remember using a current artist in a duet with a deceased one (it might not have been the first ever such arrangement, but it's the first one I remember getting significant airplay as well as notoriety for the concept). Natalie's video for the song even showed footage of her father throughout. I thought they did a great job with both that song and the video--was a really nice tribute to Nat King Cole. |
