We know Steve Whitmire recorded "Firefly" with Tony Bennett
and "Dream" with Linda Ronstadt....

...were they in the same studio?

..AND..were there any other recordings he did with other stars?

(bonus question: Did ahy of the stars 'feel funny' recording with Whitmire since they were USED to Henson?...any reports?)

I'm not sure if they were in the same studios. The song with Tony is from a Tony Randall album "The Playground." The song with Linda is from "Unpigged", which was released 4 years earlier.

(Steve's) Kermit also performed with Vince Gill ("Daydream"), Don Henley ("Bein' Green"), and Kylie Minogue ("Especially For You", 2002). He also sang "Close To You" with a Dutch celebrity, Marjolein Keuning, in a TV show dedicated to the Dutch network where the Muppet Show aired.

Please remind me to not use any performers with last names in my posts. That'll only cause me to hate myself.
