Duets: Friends & Legends is a studio album by Canadian country/pop artist Anne Murray. The album features seventeen of Murray's best-known songs re-recorded as duets with her favourite female singers.[2] While the record mostly consists of new studio tracks, Murray's duet with Celine Dion on "When I Fall in Love" was taken from a 1996 TV special.[2] The late Dusty Springfield's vocal on "I Just Fall in Love Again" was lifted from Springfield's 1979 recording of the track.[3]

The album was released in Canada on November 13, 2007, where it debuted at #4 on the Canadian Albums Chart and has since been certified 2× Platinum (200,000 albums sold).[4] It received two nominations at the 2008 Juno Awards (Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year), although it was originally omitted from the Album of the Year category after a calculation error.[5]

In the United States, the album was released on January 15, 2008, and debuted at #42 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the Top Country Albums chart.[6]
