Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes:

For some reason I was thinking that was a duet with Joe Cocker but that was the theme to An Officer And A Gentleman. Sometimes these things just become interchangeable.

When I posted that Joe Cocker clip this came up afterwards.

Aphrodite’s Child are probably better remembered now as the band that Vangelis and Demis Roussos originated from but this is a decent bit of Baroque Pop.

So too did Jennifer Warnes… Some of the finest storytelling within a song ever written

From the comments section:

One of the most beautiful songs ever created from the heart and mind of a human being. Joan of Arc has become a symbol for so much and so many because of the power of her visions, her belief in them, and her willingness to literally walk into fire in the name of truth. She represents to people, in no particular order, religious fanaticism, teenage rebellion, androgyny, feminism, individualism, anti-clericalism, nationalism and no doubt others. This is a great duet with LC singing the part of the fire to Jennifer’s Joan. Stunning video images also!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!

Bowie, I’m guessing in 1969. Before he came up with the Ziggy Stardust persona he hadn’t really got the cool rockstar thing sorted.

@cynicaloldgit Perhaps babymetal is more your thing :rofl:

Talking of Korean/Japanese bands, listening to this track by Rip Slyme makes me want to listen to some more…this one reminds me a bit of Stakka Bo…

Tonight I also found a duet by two of my favourite Japanese singers - Sheena Ringo & Tortoise Matsumoto which has inspired me to dig out my old cd’s at the weekend…
