Patti LaBelle brings a rich, unfettered soulfulness to Bewitched, Linda Ronstadt an easy clarity to Moonlight in Vermont. Rumor had it that Axl Rose was to have appeared on Duets II. One wonders what he might have done with My Kind of Town, a song that here couples Sinatra with his most unabashed emulator, Frank Sinatra...
