It is unlikely that the two powerhouse voices of the century would have ever shared the same stage...until now! "A Match Made In Las Vegas" They never worked together, exactly,except when they taped a duet in separate recording sessions, but it?s tantalizing to think what it would have been like to have them teamed up for a concert tour.Just imagine the possibilities. Would one have outshone the other? Would their on stage banter have been friendly or a bit snippy? Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo present the concert that never was.
