What are some good brother/sister duets?
Most duets I'm finding out there are more appropriate for "couples", but are there any out there that would be particularly good/appropriate for brother and sister to sing as a duet?

If I learned anything from Arrested Development, it's that "Afternoon Delight" is not a good song for this occasion.
How about "Don't go Breakin' My Heart?" Or perhaps "Love Will Keep us Together?"

Angus and Julia Stone
I'm not a particular fan, so can't suggest any songs. They're pretty popular though, so probably some good songs there.

Are you a rockabilly fan? The Collins Kids did some great stuff back in the late fifties:

The White Stripes have some of these. Whether they are actually brother and sister is up for debate.

Sandy and Junior were a Brazilian bro & sis pop duo. You Tube has a ton of their stuff.

Actually, it isn't up for debate and hasn't been for ages. Meg and Jack White are actually ex-husband and ex-wife. The track "Well It's True That We Love One Another" from the album "Elephant" has the lyrics "I love Jack White like a little brother" but it's actually sung by Holly Golightly (although Meg does sing in the song as well). Anyway, when my brother would break out his guitar at parties, I would always join him on this one.

FFS, read the question, people. He's asking about songs not musical acts that are siblings.
I think ms. cortex is on the right track- Broadway musicals have a ton of these. "You're the Top" from Anything Goes is a song between (potential) lovers, but the lyrics aren't romantic, more "here's how you're great".
