Weird musical collaborations that somehow worked

[cemaphonic]

Anyone remember Tammy Wynette's brief-but-wonderful foray into Illuminati-themed house music:

Since the KLF were such notorious pranksters, everyone thought that bringing her in was some kind of joke, but really, the guys behind it just really loved country music, and Wynette in particular.

Post some other unlikely but successful collaborations!

1. Ozzy Osbourne and Miss Piggy...

2. Yes and the Buggles.

When the remnants of Yes looked to the Buggles (Video Killed the Radio Star) to replace Jon Anderson on lead vocals and Rick Wakeman on keyboards, the results were surprisingly awesome.

4. Didn't Yes pretty much absorb the Buggles for a couple albums?

Trevor Horn is one of those guys who has managed to have a really long and successful career in music without ever really being in the spotlight.

3. A great example of this is the CD "Country Rythym and Blues.....

It's Country artists and Blues singers collaborating on classic songs ex.

Brooks Benton and Conway Twitty = Rainy night in Georgia
Little Richard and Tanya Tucker = She's something else

Great stuff

5. Duke Ellington and John Coltrane...

...the album they made together is amazingly beautiful, and it swings like hell...

6. Mavis Staples and Jeff Tweedy from Wilco
