"Say Something" was one of the highlights of the evening, when Stapleton appeared onstage unannounced to perform the song with Timberlake and the video was posted on Facebook by Country Lyriques where it garnered over 7 million views.

"SAY SOMETHING" WAS WRITTEN BY TIMBERLAKE WITH STAPLETON'S COLLABORATION

"Say Something" was written and produced by Timberlake, Larrance Dopson, Floyd Nathaniel Hills, and Timbaland, with additional songwriting by Stapleton. It debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Timberlake's 19th top 10 single as a solo artist and Stapleton's first.

STAPLETON SANG ARETHA FRANKLIN 1967 HIT

Soul DIva Aretha Franklin died on August 16, 2018, at the age of 76 after a bout with pancreatic cancer, and Chris Stapleton paid homage to the woman he considers to be "the greatest singer that ever lived."

Since then, the Detroit singer has been honored with a number of tributes, both musical and written, from luminaries like Barack Obama, Mavis Staples, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, and Rosanne Cash.

Chris Stapleton sang his tribute at the Forum in Los Angeles, by performing his “all-time favorite,” Franklin’s 1967 hit “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man.”

Stapleton was accompanied by bassist JT Cure, drummer Derek Mixon, Dave Cobb on guitar and special guest Mickey Raphael on harmonica and their rendition of the Franklin song brought the audience to its feet.
