Steve Perry and Willie Nelson's Surprise Single Has Fans All Saying the Same Thing — Listen Here!
Two legendary musicians have come together on a reimagining of one of the artist's greatest hits, and it's all for a good cause. Rocker (formerly of Journey) and country star released a new cover of Journey's 1983 hit "Faithfully" on Wednesday, May 14, to benefit a charity near and dear to Nelson's heart. "The official video for 'Faithfully' from Steve Perry & Willie Nelson, out now on Dark Horse Records. Proceeds from the single will be donated to Farm Aid," reads the description on the video. In the comments on the video, fans are overcome with emotion at how good it is. "Stevie… You had this small town girl in Massachusetts in tears. Tears of joy!!! This is a marvelous collaboration. I can't tell how much this touched me. I heard a few lines of you singing in Providence at the benefit and by our reaction and yours I knew you still had so much to give. Thank you Steve 🎤🎶❤️🌎," wrote one fan. Another fan added, "This was such a surprise. I had no idea Steve was working with Willie Nelson! It's not a duet I would have thought of, but I found it touching. And there will never come a day when I am not happy to hear Steve Perry sing. I'm so grateful to have been young when all the Journey songs came out - I have spent my life loving this music." "NEVER in my lifetime would I Think these TWO LEGENDS would Join forces to sing JOURNEY'S Biggest ballad. We NEEDED this ❤," wrote a third fan. This comes on the heels of Nelson announcing a huge concert to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Farm Aid. The concert will take place on September in Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 'It's a really important state agriculturally. It has a tremendous history of farm advocacy," said Farm Aid Co-Executive Director Jennifer Fahy in a press release.

George Harrison's Masterpiece All Things Must Pass Is Back On The Charts
George Harrison's All Things Must Pass returns to two U.K. charts thanks to a Record Store Day ... More reissue, more than 50 years after it was originally released. English Pop and Rock musician George Harrison (1943 - 2001) plays guitar as he performs onstage at Olympia Stadium, Detroit, Michigan, December 4, 1974. (Photo by) George Harrison is once again back on the charts in his home country, as fans returned in droves to what may be his most celebrated solo effort. The former member of The Beatles first went out on his own with All Things Must Pass, and it's that title that reappears on a pair of rankings in the United Kingdom this frame thanks to a Record Store Day-specific limited-edition reissue. That bump is enough to turn the classic full-length into a bestseller once again — and for the first time in years. All Things Must Pass finds space on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales charts this week. The former ranking counts only traditional physical formats like CD, vinyl, and cassette, while the latter is slightly more expansive, and includes digital purchases as well. On the Official Physical Albums chart, Harrison's All Things Must Pass returns at No. 64. It also makes a comeback on the Official Albums Sales ranking, where it lands at No. 68. The renewed interest in All Things Must Pass comes thanks to Record Store Day 2025. A reissue of the set in a collectible new format was one of the standouts of this spring's event. Dark Horse Records, which is home to Harrison's legacy releases, has been steadily reissuing his catalog in special editions for some time now. The latest is a limited-edition zoetrope picture disc of his debut solo offering. All Things Must Pass debuted on the main Official Albums c hart in 1970, and by early 1971, it had climbed all the way to No. 1. It held that position for eight consecutive frames, establishing Harrison as a solo superstar in the wake of the breakup of The Beatles. The two rankings that the title reappears on this frame didn't even exist at the time of its initial release. The Official Physical Albums chart first welcomed All Things Must Pass in early 2001, more than 30 years after its debut. The set then reached the Official Albums Sales list two decades later, and it peaked at No. 3. It's never topped either tally, but it has come close, just missing the summit on the physical-only ranking by stalling one rung below the summit. Originally released in 1970, All Things Must Pass was Harrison's first proper solo album after the dissolution of The Beatles, and it became an instant phenomenon. The collection was lauded for its songwriting and emotional depth, and it solidified Harrison's status as a hitmaker and powerhouse talent on his own, and not just the 'quiet Beatle.' The project produced the single 'My Sweet Lord,' which reached No. 1 on both the U.K. and U.S. singles charts. That win made Harrison the first former Beatle to land a solo chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic. It also earned him a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year, a prize he'd lose, but win the following ceremony for a different product.
