Justin Timberlake performed on the Celebrating America concert from Memphis, duetting with singer/songwriter Ant Clemons, on an uplifting, gospel-influenced song called Better Days.

While Timberlake is a household name, Clemons is more of a newcomer - who, just a few years ago, was working at the Red Lobster restaurant chain to fund his music career.

After moving to Los Angeles in early 2018, he started writing a song a day in exchange for a floor to sleep on. One of his demos made its way to Kanye West, who used it as the basis for his song All Mine, a top 20 hit in both the UK and US.

That led to a solo record deal, and a Grammy nomination for his debut EP, Happy 2 Be Here, which used the plot of Aladdin to illustrate his rags-to-riches story.

His collaboration with Timberlake was written and released last year, as an antidote to the misery of lockdown.

"We wanted to be a glimmer of hope," Clemons said. "And show someone this is the perspective you can take and miss the storm."
