It seems it’s not WHO you know, but the places you GO!
Sheryl Crow has revealed how she convinced Justin Timberlake to duet with her - after bumping into him in the middle of a recording sess.
The singer, who was putting the finishing touches on her seventh album ‘100 Miles From Memphis’ in Los Angeles, spotted the trousersnake star in the same studio, and within just an hour he’d lent his vocals to one of her new tracks.
The songstress told The Sun, “Justin was working on Jamie Foxx’s album in the same studio complex. He was in the hallway and I said, ‘You’ve got to come and hear what we’ve been working on.
“When he heard Sign Your Name he said, ‘You know, I’m from Memphis.’ Then he asked if he could do the background vocals. He’s wildly talented.”
But when it came to getting Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards for her new record, the ‘If It Makes You Happy’ star admits she was a little more direct.
She added, “I called Keith’s manager and explained to her I had a couple of songs I’d love for him to hear and which reminded me of him. Keith got the message and came over as soon as he was free.”
