Loads of great pairings mentioned here..

On a personal note, I've always rated Keith Moon and John Entwistle, from you know who.. 

And, David Brown and Michael Shrieve from the early Abraxas era Santana band. 

And, Sheila E and Levi Seacer, Jnr from Prince's band circa Sign o' the Times tour. 

And Dennis Davis and George Murray who played for Bowie in the mid to late 70s..

I nominate Bernard Purdie and Jerry Jemmott for the double live session with King Curtis and Aretha at the Filmore in 1971.

My second nomination would be Bernard and Chuck Rainey on anything they did with Steely Dan.

My third nomination would be Squier/White or Squier/Bruford with Yes.

Roscoe Beck with drummer Tom Brechtline In Robbin Ford’s Blue Line, they always seem to be able to find a different groove and riff for any song Ford wrote.

I just remembered these guys and rushed to post it, only to find that I have been beaten to it - which is a good thing as they deserve masses of recognition. I saw them with Robben Ford at the Jazz Café and they were sublime. Similarly, the also previously mentioned pairing of Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton are often overlooked.
