Brooks & Dunn Experience 'Ultimate Fantasy Camp' With Sheila E.
Yahoo! Music, May 22, 2002 6:00 pm PDT
(5/22/02, 6 p.m. ET) -- Brooks & Dunn's performance of their current single, "My Heart Is Lost To You," on Wednesday (May 22) night's Academy Of Country Music Awards will include special guest Sheila E.
Ronnie Dunn had been secretly harboring the fantasy of performing the Latin-tinged tune with Sheila and happened to mention it to the awards show's stage manager who works with Dick Clark Productions.
"We were talking to the guys and I mentioned the ultimate fantasy camp would be to have Sheila E. do this with us," said Dunn. The stage manager told the singer that Sheila had performed at his recent birthday party, and immediately called her from his cell phone to invite the famous percussionist to join the award-winning duo on their live performance. "It just goes to show that if you believe in Dick Clark, fantasies do come true," added Dunn.
"My Heart Is Lost To You" sits at Number 17 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
