If Elton John And Rufus Wainwright Could Sing A Duet ...
It just so happens that Elton John and Rufus Wainwright were both at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C. today. Rufus played a Tiny Desk Concert for us (on an upright piano that fit perfectly behind the desk) and Elton was here for an interview on Talk Of The Nation. If only they had crossed paths! So we sent a note out on Twitter (@allsongs): If we could have gotten them together in the same room, what would have been the perfect duet?
Turns out Elton John and Rufus Wainwright were in @NPR on the same day...If they could sing a song together, what song would it be?
