“Fly me to the moon. Let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars!”
I don’t know if it’s even possible to not like Frank Sinatra. The American singer is without a doubt one of the greatest musical influences of our time, singing jazz and swing with his signature deep and powerful voice. Frank, also known as ‘Ol Blue Eyes, seems to have found his way into everyone’s heart. Anyone who listens to Sinatra’s songs is put into a wonderful, singing mood. What happens next is typically an impromptu karaoke session. Indeed, belting out Sinatra is irresistibly fun but how do you make it even more incredible? Make it a duet by singing “My Shadow and Me” by Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.!
Matt Clayton and his six-year-old son Archie were driving around in their car when Matt turned on the radio when My Shadow and Me came on. It’s clear that the duo know exactly what to do, with Archie channeling his inner Sammy Davis Jr., and Dad joining in with his best Sinatra.
Apparently, this wonderful performance is a tradition for the father and son. “Whenever we are in the car we are always singing along, and Frank Sinatra is Archie’s favorite,” explained Matt. “We are always doing it but this time, I thought I would film it and put it online as a dig at one of my bandmates that my son might be better at singing Sinatra than him!”
The two put on a fabulous car karaoke special! They’re simply wonderful, this father and son duo. How can you not appreciate two voices, one experienced and one brand new, put together to create something so wonderful?
The video has since gone viral, with everyone falling in love with this heartwarming performance. And what does Archie have to say about all of this? “I really like Frank Sinatra. There are no other singers I like as much.”
