There aren’t many things that are sweeter than little children singing along with their favorite songs, but this amazing duet is certainly a contender. Archie Clayton, a six-year-old boy from Faversham, UK, has become an internet superstar after he performed his own rendition of a ‘carpool karaoke’ episode along with his dad.
You’d expect this little boy to know all the latest pop hit songs, but his music taste is somewhat more refined and the adorable six-year-old is a big fan of jazz music. When Archie’s favorite song played, Me and My Shadow by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr, he just had to sing along.
It didn’t take long before his dad Matt decided to sing too and it truly makes for an amazing video.
These two absolutely rock the vocals of the classic hit song as they’re casually driving around. It’s such a pure and beautiful moment between a parent and child, and this duo can definitely sing.
It’s not the performance that matters the most, however, as you can clearly see these two are having the times of their lives. Just take a look at Archie’s large smile throughout the entire song!
“Whenever we are in the car we are always singing along and Frank Sinatra is Archie’s favorite,” Matt told Kent Online. “He now knows all the words and it is always such a pleasure to sing with him.
And it’s also clear that this is Archie’s favorite song, as he completely nails the entire duet and even pays attention to tiny details in the song. His dad picks up right where Archie left off in a seamless manner.
“I really like Frank Sinatra. There are no other singers I like as much,” Archie added.
“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.”
It appears that Archie’s musical talent runs in the genes. Matt started performing at six years old as well and plays in the local swing band Our Way. He can also be seen as an actor at the Dover Operatic and Dramatic Society.
“We are always doing it [singing in the car] 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!”
The rest of the family is quite talented as well! Archie’s grandfather is a retired professional actor and mom Gemma is a skilled pianist.
Matt decided to post this amazing dashcam footage online, but he certainly didn’t expect his video to be seen by millions.
“We cannot believe it has had so many views. It was completely unexpected,” the man told. “It has gone crazy. We are really excited by the reaction it has had.”
With well over two million views on YouTube alone, this father and son duo has definitely stolen the hearts of many.
“Aww. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. You’ve made my night. :)” viewer Sammy Jo added.
“Wow, amazing dad, wonderful voice, and cutest kid ever, really great tuning!” said Cella Sedui.
