Full article:
Brian Kennedy (singer, songwriter and recording artist) Through touring with Van Morrison I got to sing with Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon and James Brown. The day that Carl Perkins died, for example, Van and Bob decided to do a tribute to him (at their concert in Madison Square Gardens). On Bob came and we all did Blue Suede Shoes together, with me singing harmonies with them. That was the first time, and then he did it again a couple of other times. You find yourself standing on the stage of Madison Square Garden with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, thinking, 'How did I get here?'
