When Diana was with The Supremes, they made numerous appearances on TV singing duets with other performers such as Bobby Darrin, Sammy Davis, Tennessee Ernie Ford, etc.

What I am now looking for now are duets once Diana went solo. I am familiar with some by with Bob Hope, Boy George, and Lionel Ritchie.

What I am looking for by Diana solo may have been on TV variety shows or in concert [[not studio recordings).

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

She did "you are everything" with Larry Hagman on her "Diana" tv special in 1981, as well as the performance with Michael Jackson on the same show, She performed "upside down" with Jamiroquai at the Brit Awards in the 1990's, and she did a festive duet with Julio Iglesias on the Des O'Connor show broadcast on UK tv on Christmas Day back in the early to mid 90's. She did "i'm gonna make you love me" with Stevie Wonder, but that was prior to her going solo. There are probably others which i cannot currently recall, but i am sure others out there will be able to help.....

And a great duet with Smokey Robinson "Missing you' live from Caesar Palace in 1985.

Already mentioned by Bluebrock but too exciting not to post, Diana singing "Upside Down" with Jamiroquai at the 1997 BRIT Awards. It has a similar feel as Diana singing "Upside Down" with Michael Jackson in the 1981 "diana" special, but that wasn't really a duet. This is... wonderful performance.
