‘Catch of the Day’ – Clint Black ft Lisa Hartman-Black – “You Still Get To Me” [AUDIO]

Today we turn our focus to a duo that have not recorded together since 2001, and who won the 1999 Vocal Event of the Year from the Academy of Country Music. And though they haven't recorded together in 15 years, their paths have crossed on a regular basis.

Clint Black signed with RCA records in 1988, releasing his first album Killin' Time the following year. The album became the first debut album in any genre to produce five straight #1 hits, and earned Black the Best New Artist Awards from the ACM in 1989 and the Country Music Association and American Music Awards in 1990. Black would release 7 album for RCA, the last, 1999's D'Lectrified. Those albums would produce 14 #1 singles on the U.S. Billboard Country singles charts, including "When I Said I Do" in 1999, his final #1 to date on the U.S. chart.

For the song, Black brought in a very unlikely duet partner, his wife Lisa Hartman-Black. Hartman-Black, an actress best known for playing the title roll in the TV sitcom Tabitha, which ran from 1977 through 1978. Hartman was not well-known as a singer, but actually recorded four solo albums from 1976 and 1987. Her acting breakthrough came in 1982, when she began appearing on the night time soap Knott's Landing, a spin-off of the series Dallas. Her albums were commercially unsuccessful, she decided to concentrate on acting.

The 1999 duet was not also commercially successful, being named the year-end #1 song, but also critically acclaimed. It won the Vocal Event of the Year award from the ACM that year, and was nominated for song of the year at the Grammy Awards in 2000. In 2001, the pair "reunited" to record a second duet, "Easy For Me To Say", which peaked at #27. By that time Black had left RCA Nashville to form his own record label, Equity Music Group. Being on his own label and being his own boss allowed Black the freedom to be around the house a little more, and being a major part of raising their daughter Lily Pearl.

Black has released three albums on the Equity Music Group label, the most recent 2015's On Purpose. The second single from that album is in our spotlight today, featuring Lisa, their first song together in 15 years. Clint Black and Lisa Hartman-Black with "You Still Get To Me" is today's Catch of the Day, new music you haven't heard, but you'll want to hear it again.
