Morgan Freeman celebrated New Year’s Eve at his Mississippi bar, Ground Zero Blues Club, with Al Green. The Oscar winner joined the music legend on stage for a duet of Green’s 1971 hit “Let’s Stay Together.”
Social media footage captured the performance, with Freeman and Green dressed sharply as they sang the chart-topping classic alongside a live band.
“I’m so in love with you / Whatever you want to do / Is alright with me / ‘Cause you make me feel so brand new / And I want to spend my life with you,” the two stars sang, grooving to the beat with massive smiles on their faces.
