BRITAIN: Alison Goldfrapp & John Grant Cover Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood

Synthpop artist Alison Goldfrapp and gay singer/songwriter John Grant (Pale Green Ghosts) teamed up at Royal Albert Hall last night to perform a cover of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's strange and dark 1968 classic, Some Velvet Morning, which in 2003 was ranked by the Telegraph as the best duet in British pop chart history. Hazlewood's line "some velvet morning when I'm straight, I'm gonna open up your gate," might take on a less drug-drenched meaning when sung by Grant.
