A new recording studio at a Sandy Springs charter school has already received a visit from the city’s highest elected official.

But Mayor Rusty Paul didn't just stop by North Springs Charter High School — he also collaborated on a duet there.

Paul and Steve Michael, the father of a student who helped set up the recording studio, sing Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." Wonder famously wrote the song about his daughter, Aisha.

The new studio was partially funded by the city, Sandy Springs Education Force and the Sandy Springs Society, the city's Facebook page says.

North Springs, established in 1963, offers dual magnet programs in the arts and sciences areas.

Now sit back, relax and let Paul take you away.
