Morgan Freeman and Al Green's Viral Blues Duet

Morgan Freeman surprised fans by performing a duet with Al Green on New Year's Eve at Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The performance of Green's 1971 hit 'Let's Stay Together' went viral, showcasing Freeman's previously unknown singing talent. CNN reporter Omar Jimenez captured the moment and discussed with Freeman the origins of the club, which he co-founded in 2001 to celebrate the region's rich blues heritage. Freeman decided to open the club after realizing the lack of blues venues in Clarksdale, a town with a significant musical history. The duet was a dream come true for Freeman, who expressed his joy in singing alongside Al Green. The event further cements Freeman's role not only as an acclaimed actor but also as a cultural visionary in preserving blues music.
