Elvis Presley and Karen Carpenter: Solitaire
That's an inspired choice! That would have been an amazing pairing.

[Cryogenic]

Thanks, Lonnie. :D

I actually thought about making my own duet of the two using my PC - but there are a heap of technical issues (different timings, lyrics and backing tracks).

[Lonniebealestreet]

You're welcome. If you ever give it a go and get all those issues worked out, I'd love to hear your results.

By the way, the stripped down (some tracks removed) version of Solitaire as heard on Our Memories of Elvis may be ideal for such purposes.

I don't have anything like this, but is there not some type of extraction software that enables you to isolate vocal tracks? Some time ago, Albert posted an a cappella track of The Wonderful World of Christmas made with some program like that, and it was really stunning.

By the way, I've always greatly enjoyed the Carpenters' Christmas catalogue, so I'd also love to hear duets of Karen and Elvis on I'll Be Home For Christmas or Winter Wonderland/Silver Bells/White Christmas, if either could possibly work.

This may sound crazy... but I guess Elvis and Marilyn Monroe would sound good. Which song? I'm not sure.
