Preview: More than a decade after a stroke robbed the country artist of his cherished singing voice, computer technology has helped create his new single, «Where That Came From.»
Legendary country music star Randy Travis hasn’t released a new single since suffering a stroke in 2013 that robbed him of his cherished singing voice. Until now. «CBS News Sunday Morning» correspondent Lee Cowan gets an exclusive inside look at how cutting-edge artificial intelligence enabled Travis to once again raise his voice in song in a story to be broadcast Sunday, May 5 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
«There’s just so much chatter about all the negative sides of AI,» said Cris Lacy, co-chair and president of Warner Music Nashville. «We started with this concept of, ‘What would AI … look like for us?’ And the first thing that came to mind [was] we would give Randy Travis his voice back.»
Doctors gave Travis («Forever and Ever, Amen,» «Deeper Than the Holler») just a 2% chance of surviving the stroke.
