While attending Elton John’s annual Oscar viewing party, Jason Mraz told reporters he’s hoping to convince John to collaborate with him on an “'Ebony and Ivory' of the times, for equality.”

The original “Ebony and Ivory,” a duet between Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, was released in the ’80s to promote racial harmony and equality. Mraz says this new song would bring straight people together with gays and lesbians in support of equal rights.

Last week Mraz visited San Diego’s LGBT Community Center to talk with staff members about volunteering his time in the field. The singer has long been a supporter of LGBT rights.
