AMERICAN IDOL's
Eric Anthony Lopez (currently in THE JACKIE MASON MUSICAL Off-Broadway) and
Mary Michael Patterson (most recently in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA on Broadway) have teamed up to record Lopez's original song "Angels Sing" as a tribute to those who have lost there lives in the
September 11th attacks.
20-year-old Lopez described the message he hopes people come away with after listening to the song, saying, "It's a tribute dedicated to all who have gone before us, especially those who have passed prematurely and how just because someone has physically left this earth, doesn't mean they can't still be a big part of your life. Also, I'm beyond grateful to have
Mary Michael's beautiful vocals on this song with me. I'm such
a fan of hers, and she really makes the song come alive."
