FRANKLIN JOINS FORCES WITH RICE
ARETHA FRANKLIN is teaming up with an unusual collaborator at an upcoming show - former U.S. Secretary of State CONDOLEEZZA RICE.
The Respect hitmaker will join forces with her politician pal, who is a classically trained pianist, for a charity concert in Philadelphia, Penn sylvania next month (27Jul10).
The gig will incorporate some of Franklin’s biggest hits as well as a n umber of opera tracks - and the singer can’t wait for the special show.
She tells the New York Post, "Ms. Rice is a consummate classical pianis t and since I sing the arias, I thought that we could do something - a bi partisan effort for our favourite charities."
