Here's the Thing! 08/09/23

Duet. Live. True greatness. No autotune. Maybe a little post-production.

Here’s the Thing!

Let's get straight to the point!

I recently played ‘Tune Tag’ with

Brad Kyle

of

Front Row & Backstage

.

One of Brad’s submissions was a live duet by Cher and David Bowie of Bowie’s ‘Can You Hear Me?’ It’s a perfect seamless live performance.

In one of the post comments about this 1975 performance

Charles in San Francisco

quite rightly noted:

“No post-production, no autotune, just greatness.”

Here’s another girl/boy duet performed live on the street by two buskers in Dublin in 2023. Equally as great.

Allie Sherlock, aged 18. Fionn Wheelan, aged 13. Performing Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.

(If you want to listen to another perfect performance of this song, here’s a version by Jeff Buckley.)
