Sara Evans joined late legend Dan Seals on a duet version of “a song that has lived on for decades.”

Evans performs “Nights Are Forever Without You” alongside Seals, a member of the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame whose impact on music spans decades and genres. Seals was born in February 1948 in McCamey, Texas. He died of Mantle cell lymphoma in 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 61. Seals was performing in the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley when he released “Nights Are Forever Without You” in October 1976. A post on the late singer-songwriter’s Instagram account announcing the new version with Evans hails it “a song that has lived on for decades.”

Evans’ duet with the late legend is the latest to arrive from an upcoming Kyle Lehning-produced album, The Last Duet, which the Dan Seals Estate announced on Friday morning. Previous duets that stirred anticipation for the project include Luke Bryan’s “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold),” Jamey Johnson’s “Three Time Loser,” and Jasmine Amy Rogers’ “My Baby’s Got Good Timing.”

“Dan was always true: as a singer, as an artist and as a man,” award-winning producer Lehning said in a statement. “Seeing the way all of these artists responded when they had Dan’s voice in their ears shows how that warm truth in his voice still touches people in the best way. The song ‘Still Reelin’’ was Dan reflecting on the effect that Elvis and the early rock n’ rollers had on him as a child, it’s nice to see that people are ‘still reelin’’ from his music today.”

The Last Duet will release on August 28. Listen to the new version of “Nights Are Forever Without You” with Evans here:
