An historic fusion, a lesson, memorable soulful duets.
If ever there was a memorable moment in history, it is this union of supreme entertainers from soul and country whose impressive duets serve for wonderful listening pleasure. The musical duets are so enjoyable.
You will hear soundbites of insights about country, rockabilly, soul, rock & roll, delta blues, gospel. On this night, it melds into an historic event of just plain great music. Excellent black and white footage of the south connects you to the origination of these musical blends.
They talk how the genres originated, what the music means, Rufus Thomas, Don Was, Tony Brown, etc. The country artists and r&b artists compliment each other and speak of the influences that each music genre music brings into one another.
The top musicians in the industry are here, in other words, premium entertainers! Natalie Cole admits watching the country awards show (when no one was watching) and admiring Reba. They duet on "Since I Fell For You." And Reba, like Travis Tritt, can evoke a soulful sound when inspired to do so.
Travis duets with Patty LaBelle for the passionate "When Something is Wrong With My Baby."
Hear the smooth Al Green team with Lyle Lovett for the beautiful "Funny How Time Slips Away."
Little Richard and Tanya Tucker really shake it up for "Somethin' Else". Tucker with her gravely, powerful voice sounds dynamic with Little Richard.
Sam Moore & Conway Twitty provide a soulful, fun "Rainy Night in Georgia."
Also, some other duets: Staple Singers and Marty Stuart "The Weight"; George Jones & B.B. King "Patches"; Chet Atkins & Allen Toussant "Summer Nights"; Clint Black & The Pointer Sisters "Chain Chain Chain"; Vince Gill & Gladys Knight "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing."
