Duet for Bob and Jeanne ?

From Daily Telegraph

Duet for Bob Geldof?

Bob Geldof, who has become better known for his charity work than his music, may be eclipsed by his girlfriend, Jeanne Marine.

The French actress wrote and performed her first song just a year and a half ago, but tells me that she has already recorded her first album.

I am really enjoying myself writing songs, she says. I have had such good feedback.

This week, she sang Warrior at a dinner at the Royal Hospital Chelsea to mark the third anniversary of the Warrior Programme for homeless people.

A duet with Geldof cannot be ruled out. We have nothing planned at the moment, but I never say never, she adds.

I wonder what her voice sounds like- it must be fairly ok for her to ever contemplate recording.

Just because she's French I can see he doing that Serge Gainsbourg song Je Taime Moi Non Plus- largely cos my knowledge of French music is very limited!

Looking at a top fifty duets (Daily Telegraphy)on a quick musical duets search possibly the idea of covering Travolta and Olivia Newton Johns You're The One that I Want might be the best candidate for a cover. At least it would be fun- the idea of Geldof covering a song by Travolta and memories of him tearing up the picture of JT and ONJ on TOTP all those years ago.

Just done some research. Possibly its a song called The Warrior which was a top ten hit in USA and Canada in 1984 by a group called Scandal.

Must confess have never heard this song before, but it can be found on Youtube to sample if so inclined.

Alleged to be a favourite of Bjork.
