Some artists get together to record and it just makes sense then there are some that you or I would have never paired together and in most [[not all) it sort of works. This one comes to mind STEPHEN BISHOP & CHAKA KHAN

And Prince, as I remember the radio station mentioned, after the very first time I've heard it. Excellent, groovy blend from two geniuses of their field.

Most of the selections so far make sense to me: two divas duetting; an R and B singer and a rap artist; two generations of R and B performers on a song. Here’s a more out of left field combination:
Tammy Wynette teaming up with Euro Dance act around 1990 for the song Justified and Ancient.

Definitely a left field collabo with Tammy Wynette. I like the song. Here's Tony Bennett & Lady GaGa

I'm missing the point on "The Secret Garden". Quincy Jones' albums were full of wonderful collaborations. My favorite odd pairing was George Clinton and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the latter's "Freaky Stylee" LP. That was a great odd couple on a fantastic record.

The post was referring to odd pairings as opposed to just pairings. I too thought Secret Garden was great collaboration that made sense.

I get the feeling a few posters on this thread only read the thread title and not the substance of the original post.
Diana Ross and Michael Jackson make sense as a collaboration. However in the late 90s Diana Ross performed Upside Down with Jamiroquai on British TV. Now that’s an odd, yet very well done collaboration.

There were two Luther Vandross collaberations that I thought were interesting but worked.
Luther and Gregory Hines

As mentioned before, I don't think many took the original poster's intent for this thread. Whereas Luther and Janet was "interesting", I think the OP was wondering more about "unusual" collaborations. Of course Janet has 1/100th the talent of Luther, but they both appeal to similar audience demographics. I'd have to say that most of the replies [[while all wonderful collaborations with somewhat diverse artists) make perfect musical sense from a stylistic standpoint.
With that said, I thought that Roger Troutman teaming up with the Mighty Clouds of Joy for "Midnight Hour" was interesting. Unbridaled, computerized funkster meets traditional gospel quintet.

Hasn't Tony Bennett sung a duet with every singer who was alive between 2000 and now[[and even some non-singers)?

Tony Bennett is now recording an entire album of duets with Lady Gaga.

I didn't know that smark21 but they do sound great together. I was really surprised one time when I saw her on THE VIEW playing a piano and I thought to myself that she could actually sing. Sometimes all of that style overshadows the substance..

I find it unfortunate that Lady Gaga went through all of that drama and craziness just to get
noticed because she actually can really sing. That she can is something that I was forced to
admit to myself after listening to her without having to look at her in one of her get-ups...
As for most of these including Chaka and Stephen B , they really don't strike me that far out
at all...

I could not care any less about what's "unusual"; if it's too "unusual" I would not even listen to it in the first place, added with I could NOT care any less about 90% of RAP and 95% of ROCK. 99% of my music listening, is RHYTHM & BLUES - could be "pop" R&B, could be jazzy R&B, could be funk, could be R&B disco, could be New Jack Swing, could be pure SOUL, up to mostly 1999, maybe some slightly up, but not much; today's music is.....not as great.
"GREAT" combinations, I go for, with perhaps occassional "surprises" still. Perhaps, such as:
