In the middle of it all is footage of John and Wonder performing together over the years, including clips of video for their 1985 No. 1 charity hit, \"That's What Friends Are For,\" which also featured Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight.

When the album was first released, John said that \"Finish Line\" marked his first-ever vocal duet with Stevie, who also played harmonica and acoustic piano on the track.

\"It sounds simply incredible. Stevie sounds like he's 19 again,\" John noted. \"It was a special experience making this record with Stevie.\"

Released in October 2021, \"The Lockdown Sessions\" peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.
