Jean and Daniel have a mutual admiration for each other's talent with Daniel presenting Jean with his first Platinum album as a gesture of friendship.
They communicate regularly. On his last Australian Tour, Jean was invited by Daniel to visit with him and to attend his concert at Twin Towns on the Gold Coast.
He invited her to the stage to sing a duet with him - a song Daniel had just recorded, which was a hit for Jean - "Beyond the Great Divide"
and one of his favourite Jean Stafford tracks.
