Yes, there are hundreds of famous stars, but even some of them are best known for certain partnerships. Here is a TOP TEN list of famous pairs
- Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers/Rita Hayworth: Yes, Ginger got the fame, but Fred always stated that lovely Rita was his favorite.
- Frank Sinatra and Bill Miller/Billy May/Nelson Riddle: Sinatra’s pianist was the soul of Sinatra’s bar room singer, while May brought out his bravado and Nelson his sophisticated style.
- Duke Ellington and Harry Carney/Billy Strayhorn: Carney’s baritone defined Ellington’s sound, while Strays was his alter ego.
Charles Mingus and Dannie Richmond: Through thick and thick, Richmond supplied the pulse of Mingus’ raging blood flow.- Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli: These two gypsy souls always sounded best together
Lester Young and Billie Holiday: One of the most heavenly combinations in jazz. Lester’s soft tone and Holiday’s emotions took playing behind the beat to a different time zone.
- Count Basie and Freddie Green: Was there ever a better rhythm team? And it lasted for almost a half century!
- Miles Davis and Gil Evans: Not only did they create a series of classic albums, but these two seemingly
disparate gents had a bond that lasted the rest of their lives. 
Sidney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre: Sure, I could have done Bogie and Bacall, but these two men never had a film together that didn’t ooze of exotic film noir.- Steve Carlton and Tim McCarver: This pitcher/catcher combo was so co-dependent, that when Carlton got traded from the Cardinals to the Phillies, he demanded that McCarver get traded as well. It is rumored
that they are to be buried 60 feet and 6 inches apart.
