Pauley and B. Taylor bonded over their mutual love of gospel music and spent time together at the actress' church, Hollywood United Methodist.
Pauley told CBS News, We were just hanging out afterward at church, playing piano and messing together. I'm all over the map, every style, every genre, I've been in rock 'n roll my whole life. And B. and I, since childhood, started out in the gospel world, singing in church.
Their connection was mutual, Taylor said of his newfound friend, She was just so charismatic and had great spirit. I wrote the song and Pauley put the magic to it.
Pauley plays eccentric forensic scientist Abby Sciuto, On 'NCIS', which is based on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Pauley studied criminology in college and had begun her master's degree program for criminal science before ending up in the entertainment industry.
