September 27Sep 27 a Kate Rate would be a lot of 10's and 9's and 8's 🙂This Woman's Work, Hounds Of Love or Running Up That Hill, but guilty pleasures Sat In Your Lap and Ken. I love 'em! If Ken isnt on Spotify I'm appalled. I was there when my Uni room-mate opined of Wuthering Heights (we'd both just bought it) on Top Of The Pops, "she'll struggle to follow that up!", and my opinion was nah she wouldnt. 😇

But. I can't take seriously any list of duets that doesnt even mention the greatest vocal performance of all-time from the Righteous Brothers, presumably on the grounds that they are an act not a duet. But it is a duet between two people in the same group - You've Lost That Loving Feeling. It's not a group singalong, it's a duet between two amazing singers. There's no difference beween that and Under Pressure in any real sense.
September 30Sep 30 It's not my favourite song (I can't choose one) but the last time I was listening to The Red Shoes album, I finally got 'Big Stripey Lie'. It was a beautiful moment. 🥲I love that album btw!
