Matthew Morrison and Gwyneth Paltrow Perform Together on His New Album

Matthew Morrison and Gwyneth Paltrow have been making beautiful music for months on 'Glee,' and now the pair are teaming up off the set for a duet on Morrison's upcoming album.

The actor, who released his debut solo single, 'Summer Rain,' just last month, will perform 'Over the Rainbow' with Paltrow. Morrison previously performed a pared-down version of the 'Wizard of Oz' hit on the 'Glee' season one finale.

Morrison says of his choice to record such an iconic work, "People kind of know me for that song now. I wanted to do a duet with a female. I thought that was a good song to do, and we really did a different arrangement of it. It's a lot of strings, and it's beautiful."

Although Morrison and Paltrow have a history of performing together on their FOX hit, the most difficult part of the duet came before the two ever hit the studio.

"The hardest part of doing this album was asking these people favors, like Elton [John] and her," says Morrison. "I'm so not that guy."

WHAT IS RACIST ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL CURVY AFRO AMERICAN WOMAN WHO SINGS AS GOOD OR MAYBE BETTER THAN ANYONE ON THE SHOW? YOU ARE NOT SEEING THE REAL PICTURE. YOU MIGHT NEED A NEW SET OF SPECS.

Everything is "racist" this and "racist" that. So I'm quessing "proudtbb" is limited to watching basketball and the "Housewives of Atlanta". How sad to not be able to see beyond skin color.

imo Glee is one of the least racists shows on TV, they have African American, Asians, Jewish, Homosexuals, BiSexual, Intellectually and physically challenged, over weight, pretty , not pretty and Im sure I left more out. My kids and I love that show yes we are "Gleeks". Some say it shows too much with the homosexual kissing and teenagers having babies, ect. I want my kids to watch, we can talk about the show after.

I have taught my kids to be friends with EVERYONE no matter what the color of your skin, what your religious views are, what sexual orientation you are. People are people and we will not agree with everyone we meet but must have tolerance and understanding. Thats the problem with this world, if someone is different too many people want to change them or worse get rid of them. I could keep going but wont, as for Glee its a TV show if you dont like it change the channel you are not being forced to watch it.

You obviously are not a fan and do not watch the show, if all you see is an over-weight african-american teen. I see a very talented young woman. That can sing with the best of them.
