Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx will join reigning Country Music Association (CMA) Awards Vocal Group of the Year Rascal Flatts for a duet performance during "The 41st Annual CMA Awards," to be held Wednesday, Nov. 7 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) live from the Sommet Center in Nashville on ABC.
After opening the show with the title track from their third consecutive No. 1 album, "Still Feels Good," the band will return later in the broadcast with Foxx to perform their single "She Goes All the Way," which is also from the album.
"This is destined to be the sort of one-of-a-kind performance the CMA Awards are known for," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Operating Officer. "When there is a meaningful and tangible connection between artists from seemingly diverse musical styles, bringing them together on the CMA Awards creates magical moments that resonate with our audience and expand awareness of the format."
"Jamie is an incredible talent and we were thrilled he took us up on our invitation to join us on the song," said Gary LeVox, a co-writer on the track. "He said he'd do it if we would sing on one of his records, so it's a pretty good swap. He came to Nashville just after finishing his comedy tour to work on it with us."
Fellow "She Goes All the Way" songwriter Jay DeMarcus added: "It was an easy song to write once we had the first few lines and it's a really wonderful thing to have Jamie join us on the record. We run into him at awards shows and he always tells us how much he enjoys the music and how proud he is of Gary. We sent the song to him early this year and he said he'd love to do it."
