3. Natalie Cole & Nat King Cole 

Unforgettable - 1991

I think this video is both clever and cute. To my mind there isn't another singer that can deliver a song with such sincerity and velvetness as Nat could. I have just about all of his published recordings. What a voice. Linking Natalie with her Dad was a stroke of genius (though inevitable with todays technology)and the song says it all. I wish I could have met the man. I hope he's crooning them all upstairs...

Preston & Syreeta get my vote because I feel they are the most genuine. In contrast, the others seem "manufactured" although excitingly so. (Of course you did not ask for reviews...) This lens is a lot of fun!

Great topic and nice work on this lens. My favorite would have to be Sonny and Cher.
