Watch Willie Nelson & Kermit Duet on "Rainbow Connection"!

Last weekend Willie Nelson surprised his fans by bring a very special guest on stage, none other then Kermit the frog to perform a duet of "Rainbow Connection." 

Nelson has a history with the the song.

Purportedly, Nelson’s daughter Amy was in kindergarten when she first heard “Rainbow Connection” in The Muppet Movie, and then spent the next two decades trying to convince her dad to record it.

It finally happened in 2001 with Amy producing at the studio on the Luck Ranch property, but the performance last weekend was the first time he sung it with Kermit. 

Willie appeared on the 2015 ABC series The Muppets, were he performed his classic "On The Road Again"  with Electric Mayhem. I hope this means even more collaborations with the country music legend and The Muppets.
