I can see it being true for strictly the SONG, but when you get into the performers, I'd be hard pressed to argue the point. I've known of songs that are released after the initial "hit" by a different artist and they seem to take off, but the same artist in different venues???
The greatest leap in my mind would be a crossover from country to hip hop. Yet, if there was a really strong social statement in the lyrics, I could see the possibility.
Just a thought-Maybe they both draw from opposite ends and meet in the middle making their duet all encompassing.
OK all our DJs out there, you've got the experience to shed some light here. What do you all think?

It depend on your definition of crossover. If you mean different culture, there are lots. Mickey Hart and Planet Drum had differet percussion instrument from all over the world together and it's great music. But different genre, i think its impossible to do it. I can think of the Passenger (Bono, Edge, Brian Eno and Pavaroti)where opera and rock meet. Then you got various metal/rap combo. Countr and rock is always seen as a good combo with bands such as Lynard Skynard.
I think the Jamband Genre is perhap the people that could have the greatest potential to incorporate all music well. Look at String Cheese Incident - It's basically Jazz/Bluegrass/Rock. Then you have Project Logic where a hip hop dj teams up with jazz, rock and blue grass musicians. it's definately a good combo. I should've became a concert promoter.
