It Takes Two

Occasionally, we find video of two singers working together that we may not otherwise think would ever do so. Some of these combinations are well-known, while others are a little surprising, such as Norah Jones and Billie Jo Armstrong, and Trisha Yearwood and Don Henley. Either way, all of these videos showcase some exceptional voices, and some fantastic harmonies.

Covering Hank

One of the most significant performers in music history had one of the shortest careers. Hank Williams, Sr., often called the father of contemporary country music, was only 29 when he died on January 1, 1953. Although he had been in the spotlight just four years, he left a legacy of music that set him apart as one of the greatest of all time. Many artists covered Hank's songs, including his son Hank, Jr., his daughter Jett, and his grandson Hank III.

Because Hank's songs have been so popular and influential, they have been performed and recorded by many musicians, all paying tribute to Williams and his standing as one of the greats. Presented here are some other artist's covers of Hank's songs.
