It looks pretty tough to me for a face like that to look bad. That's a very deep face, but not a dead one.
I propose you mail this picture to the forum-keeper.
You have already provided all he needs... I could do nothing more. He reads the Forum and will likely see it. I'll PM him [which you could do, anyway] just to alert him to make sure. Now that I think of it, that picture may be on this site somewhere or on Marie's site... I was referring only to the Forum.

Very striking photo and word combination.

I would like to hear LC singing with Macy Gray.

LOL ~ Y'jes never know around here, de rycke :wink: . I'd be really interested in hearing that bootleg, too.

I don't know who Macy Gray is, so can't comment... is she a Brit?

Macy Gray is a black woman, not really my type of singer, if you like Macy you should taste the cat power-show I posted on this forum ... sure you like it .. Norway.

Well I have quite some Nico, but these days there seems to be a Nico-Renaissance, 15 years ago it was hard to find her stuff, but if you visit "FNAC" in europe (don't know if that exists in U.S.) you'll find all her albums and quite some bootlegs.

By the way: http://smironne.free.fr/NICO/ A nice site about Nico

I voted for Tori Amos from the choices available, but I'd really like to hear him perform with Sophie Solomon... you didn't specify that it had to be a vocal duet, did you? :wink:

A duet with Joni Mitchell would be excellent.

But on his latest records, his low voice sounds good with the girls sharon robinson and anjani

If there were a voting option for "other," living or not, Janis Joplin
would come to mind, not for "Chelsea Hotel," but for "Halelujah" and
"Bird On The Wire."

Duet with a female? I picked Joni Mitchell, for obvious reasons, but honestly, I'd rather see him duet with Patti Smith or something. They could pull out an Elton John/Kiki Dee type song. Hahahaha. :lol:

Where can I hear this first mixed duet with Tori Amos? Which album? Which song was it?

By mixed duet do you mean like what Natalie Cole did in 1991 when she sang Unforgetable on top of her dead father Nat King Cole's original recording?

Hi Yankovic ~

Since noone's answered you on this, I'll give you my thought when I read your question. The word "mixed" seems to me to suggest mixed electronically in the studio, the old with the new.

Well my favourite female singer is Aimee Mann although I have loved Melanie since my teens in the seventies. I would love either one of them to either duet with Leonard or cover his songs 8) .
