[[November 20, 2020 – Los Angeles) When Freda met Johnny – Freda Payne and Johnny Mathis, that is – chemistry and musicality abounded as they breathed delicious life into George & Ira Gershwin's classic, "They Can’t Take That Away From Me." As tantalizing sneak peek evidence of Freda Payne’s first project since 2014's acclaimed Come Back to Me Love, the sound of these legends’ voices together on one mic for the first time anywhere/anytime is a treat for the ears and hearts of all, arriving just in time to warm them for the holidays…a season of love, sharing and wistfulness as special for the singers as it is their ardent fans.

Producer Rodrigo Rios had the idea for Freda to cover "They Can’t Take That Away From Me" and to sing it as a duet with Mr. Mathis. He handled the business overtures himself and, once Mathis graciously accepted, Rios turned to Grammy-winner Gordon Goodwin to pen the arrangement and bring in his Big Phat Band to accompany them. Everything came together like hands in silk gloves – with charm and grace as the pair glided smoothly through the time-kissed melody. [[https://www.fredapayne.com/music)

I must admit, when i saw the heading my first thought was oh my gawd!!!. What a surprise though. Johnny still sounds terrific, hitting those top notes with gay abandon.
Freda’s slightly more gravelly tones really compliment his voice, or is it the other way round? lol.
Would love a whole album of the two together. This is cool.
