5.0 out of 5 stars Brand New Petula & Dusty! WOW, March 31, 2007

This Cd is well worth the purchase if only for the brand new duet by Petula and Dusty (that history is written about in another review, I won't bore you with it again) but I will bore with HOW GREAT IT IS! While I am tempted to be sad there are not 11 more duets by Dusty and Petula on this cd, I will rave about this great song and it's great singers. The balance of cd is also nice, but the Duet with Dusty is grand.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for Petula diehard fans, May 8, 2007

This review is from: Duets (Audio CD)

A product such as this is clearly aimed at the diehards market. A collection of rarities comprising mostly live duets with other established artistes from 60s and 70s TV, "Corner Of The Sky" is the standout track here. Dusty Springfield is in top form, her vocals from a 1974 recording session as gorgeous and perfectly nuanced as ever. Petula Clark added her own vocals over Dusty's incomplete recording quite recently to fulfill a deeply held desire to have sung with Dusty while she was still alive and the result is - barring some awkward phrasing by Petula on the first chorus - simply smashing.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" (with Rod McKuen) is also great - it works so much better than Rod's duet of the same song with Dusty on his late 70s Christmas TV special because this kind of song suits Petula so much better than Dusty. Other special highlights for me include the incredibly gritty "Can't Get You To Love Me" with Gilbert O'Sullivan which proves Petula's situational rock credibility and her well matched duet of "I'm A Woman/Wedding Bell Blues" with the late great Peggy Lee.

There're other good stuff with Harry Belafonte and Bobby Darin, but I'd be lying if I said the album is devoid of turkeys - the Andy Williams number in particular is a low point.

All in, "Duets" is a must buy for Petula diehard fans.

Grammy award winner Petula Clark is the most successful female singer to emerge from the British invasion of America in the 1960s. She racked up 15 consecutive Top 40 U.S. hits and has performed with many other music legends over the past few decades.

* This special collection brings together many historical pairings from Petula's television specials and previously unreleased gems from 1967-2006.
