A 36-year-old father and his 6-year-old son are going viral on the Internet after a video of them singing Frank Sinatra posted online.
Dad Matt Clayton and his son, Archie, from Faversham, Kent, were coming back home after shopping in their car.
On their way back home, the father-son duo performed a duet by singing Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
The song name is “Me and My Shadow”, originally recorded in 1927 by Whispering Jack Smith.
In 1962, Frank and Sammy recorded their version after 45 years.
Matt, who is a Salesman, also sings in swing band Our Way and performs with the Dover Operatic and Dramatic Society.
He told Kent Online: “Whenever we are in the car we are always singing along and Frank Sinatra is Archie’s favourite. He now knows all the words and it is always such a pleasure to sing with him.”
“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! I hope that Archie might carry on with his singing, just as long as he isn’t a competition for my band!”
Archie said: “I really like Frank Sinatra. There are no other singers I like as much. I like his voice a lot and I love singing along, but I think my dad is probably a better singer than me.”
“My friends have all said well done Archie and my mum is very proud of us.”
The video has been viewed by thousands of people after it was posted online and Matt and Archie are very happy with the reactions.
Matt said: “We cannot believe it has had so many views. It was completely unexpected. It has gone crazy. We are really excited about the reaction it has had.”
