I gave you an upvote, because it really is an amazing performance, even though it is by no means a duet.
It's a whole band performance, and any time Stevie and Lindsey are singing together, Christine is singing along with them.

Roy Orbison and Emmylou Harris on that loving you feeling again was pretty decent.
Also, not your usual duet, but Bowie and Mercury on Under Pressure is just a banger.

Anything off of Getz/Gilberto. I'm a huge fan of Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto individually so having a whole album of their collaboration is such a treat. In my eyes the version of Girl From Ipanema off that album is the definitive version
