"My mom wanted me to sing. I was like, 'What am I gonna sing?'" she recalled, noting that Hawn suggested she sing "That's What Friends Are For," co-written by Carole Bayer Sager, who was actually in attendance that night.
After she "forgot the words" to the song, Hudson said she wound up feeling "so embarrassed," which is when Jones approached her and told her something she would never forget.
"He just looked at me and goes, 'You need to get in the studio. When you're ready, you get in there,'" she recounted.
Noting that she was still "terrified" of singing at the time, Hudson said, "There's always certain people in my life that were always so encouraging"
"[Jones] was my number one for sure," she added.
