The Best Duets and Guest Singer Music Videos

Ranked #3,798 in Music, #105,832 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

This lens is all about music artists cooperating with each other to create memorable performances!

It's a special event whenever a great band or soloist invites another artist to sing with them. So, I decided to locate all the great duets and guest singer performances in one place. If you know of a video that I missed, please contact me and I'll add it to the list. I plan to change around the list every so often, so make sure you favorite this lens or at least check back later!

Join the Superband Debate!

I consider a superband to include more than two rockstars who became famous in their own right, like the Traveling Wilburys. They are not common in the world of music, but they're awesome.

Do you think there will ever be another superband? Why or why not?

Loading

Yes

BigJim says:

Yes. There will always be 'super" players and performers. And they will always have a desire to play together in one form or another.

No way!

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Well, I don't know. The Beetles was the only band where I ever knew the name of all the members, and probably because they were called John, Paul, George and Ringo more than the Beetles! So, I wouldn't know. :-(

PleasantValley says:

I doubt it. Ad-hoc performances are one thing, but getting more than two world famous artists to bond together and churn out a few great albums is a remarkable feat!
