[78-L] Pairing artists for greater sales

[Taylor Bowie]

Ok...at this point I admit that I am totally lost on this thread,  so maybe 
somebody can bring me up to speed.

I had thought the original deal was to list  well-known recording "stars" 
who were put together on certain records by the record companies in order to 
sell more records.

Since then we have seen all sorts of posts and suggestions for that "list" 
which seem to cover anything and everything where the two artists in 
question are even slightly well-known.

I don't follow Royal's view that a Frankie Laine-Jo Stafford duet doesn't 
count,  but that a RWK with a Henry Burr vocal does!?!?!  Burr was a working 
free-lance singer who recorded a wide variety of material,  from the early 
days into at least the early 30s.  He had a fan base but was not a star in 
the sense of Stafford or Laine.  And Kahn,  although largely self-financed 
at the start of his career,  was already a major bandleader on record.

As far as  I recall,  no one has mentioned one of the worst "celebrity 
artists" parings on 78rpm...the infamous Sinatra-Dagmar sides on Columbia. 
Yes,  she was a "star" of sorts,  at least for a few years on TV.

One that doesn't count:  Frankie Laine and Jo Stafford; one that
might:  Roger Wolfe Kahn with Henry Burr (see Victor 20071-B)....?
