For all of the countless hours they’ve shared a stage together, it’s surprisingly difficult to come across a true duet between Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa.<\/p>\n
You can trip over performances where Patti’s vocals back her husband’s, of course–just pick any E Street Band show since 1984. The converse is a lot rarer, but those performances<\/a> are out there, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n And while on almost any given night on Broadway, theatergoers were treated to lovely intimate Bruce-and-Patti performances of “Brilliant Disguise<\/a>” and “Tougher Than the Rest<\/a>,” these duets were essentially just Patti shadowing Bruce.<\/p>\n If you want a true trading-vocals duet between Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa, you’re going to have to look carefully. But at least you don’t have to look far–no further than Asbury Park and the annual school benefit concerts and holiday shows where the Jersey Shore’s first couple made frequent appearances.<\/p>\n On five of those occasions, Bruce and Patti teamed up on a faithful arrangement of Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston’s R&B classic, “It Takes Two.”<\/p>\n
