From the Letterman Show (not sure exactly when), here's Elvis Costello and the divine Emmylous Harris with a lovely version of the Everly Brothers' oft-covered 1960 classic "Love Hurts."
A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the reader who first divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Listomania.

Ummm, I dunno, famous pop stars who have broken your heart?
(I never wins nuthin and nao U no Y)
Best break-up songs?
Or best rock-country duet pairing?
Best country crossover renditions -
Best male-female duets?
and why was the Nazareth concert I attended still the #1 worst on my list of bad concerts?
Aw, heck...my brain hurts. I'll just say favorite remake and leave it at that.
No, no, and no. And no. (Sorry, I lost count).
And racymind -- I feel your pain. Although you don't look old enough to have actually attended a Nazareth concert....
Best British/American pairing?
Nazareth toured sometime in the early 80's. I have no clue if it was the original group0 or if the first drummer exploded.
I just surfed one post down to realize you posted a clue earlier today. Otherwise I would have made different guesses...which I will make in a moment.
50s covers!

Very clever, and I may steal that for the future.
But no....
[putting on glasses] oh wait you said "1960 classic"...nevermind.
Rock & Roll cover version of a country song?
PS: Isn't Emmylou just about the most beautiful woman on the planet!!!
ROTP:
No, and yes.
:-)
I have to admit this one's tough...
let me think of a fair hint.
Okay, it's definitely about cover versions. Big help, huh?
Darn -- can't think of a clue that won't give it away.
Until you said the cover versions hint I thought it was about RCA Studio B in Nashville- most of these people recorded there.
PS: Isn't Emmylou just about the most beautiful woman on the planet!!!
Yes, with the most beautiful voice. Angels pass out when they hear her sing.
Okay...here's the only clue I can think of...
In the not too distant future...
Not that you know me personally, but I think this has to do with the cover band that dedicated a song to me and my finance at the time. The song, "Your Cheatin' Heart". Yes, we are still married.
With apologies to Sigmond, fiance, not finance-- though the two do seem to be somewhat related.
