What songs would you like Stevie and Rod to duet on suggestions?

I love "Handbags and Gladrags" with Rod's original voice and if Stevie likes it then, maybe they could sing it together. I also really like "The First Cut Is The Deepest".
They could sing any song, really, as long as they sing the words as they were suppose to be sung! This is so important to the integrity of the song itself!

The First cut is the deepest cut and of hers I would like to see them do actually new song of Stevie's would fit Cheaper than Free would be cool to do of hers with rod stewart.

Stevie wanted to do The First Cut Is The Deepest, but Rod does that himself in his show. Stop Dragging My Heart Around would be cool for the two of them.

How about "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)"?

For some reason, when Rod made the comment about support act, I would never go see them.

I want/NEED her to sing Leather and Lace with him (even if he messes it up)... I haven't heard her sing it since 1986 (being in the Milwaukee area) and just watching it on video is NOT the same

Leather and Lace and Reason to Believe!

Stevie would sound fantastic on Reason To Believe! It's got such a country tinge that she's so good at.

Not a HUGE hit of Rod's, but one that still got a lot of airplay: The Motown Song off of his Vagabond Heart album. Great, swinging energy, and Stevie would be great at tackling the second chorus and background vocals.

The video is laughable, but still a great song.

I'd not want to hear any duets between them. I'd rather she start working on another cd, solo or with Fmac. Or a book, or paintings, or whatever. I'm sick of all the touring without new stuff released. It's making greatest hits become boring oldies.

You can see her do this with her vocal coach now as part of her solo set when she's not opening for Rod. The vocal coach sings it while looking at Stevie adoringly. I think that's far preferable than having Rod do such a romantic song with Stevie when he seems to think so little of her. I personally am dreading it.

I do like the Motown song, though. It's lots of fun!

Ghosty, I couldn't agree more. I did not attend any of these latest IYD shows, I did attend the IYD show at the Mountain Winery in CA, when she went around with the first IYD shows. So I did get to see it. But for her to go around again and not sing Italian Summer or some other song off the album really disappointed me. Apart from the IYD songs, she did the same songs all over again. So I don't feel I missed anything, except for the pictures of her mom on the screen. I think she just really feels we like the same old songs. Because she's not changing anything.

I am really debating attending this show. Is anyone going to the Greensboro show? I just have NO desire to see Rod Stewart, but feel like I would regret not seeing Stevie so close to home.

Despite what you've read or heard, Rod has a lot of great songs and puts on a very good live show. I know you'll enjoy all the lady performers he has in his band if not Rod himself.
