Well seeing it's OSCAR day ... here's a music question to do with the OSCARs

Clue: 2 were duets and 1 (her first) was a solo number

Aretha Franklin?

No not Aretha.

Another hint - this lady and her music is not really well known in Australia with the exception of the 2 duets she did back in the 1980's ;)

Celine Dion


Nope and it isn't Gwenyth either

Here's another clue:

Her most successful solo album in Australia was an album in the early 1980’s of Leonard Cohen songs and her biggest selling solo single in Australia is about taking a New York city starting with “M” ;)

Ella Fitzgerald?

Nope...

Another couple of clues.

The first OSCAR song she sang (solo) came from the movie Norma Rae back in 1979 - it was called "it goes as it goes" ;D

The next one comes from a movie with Richard Gere and she sang with Joe.

The final one comes from a movie with Patrick Swayze and she sang with Bill
