The world is a better place because of people like you, man!

I watched this Story on GMB (Good Morning Britain) then I found this Video. A very moving Story, about how this Man's Son, is doing this with His Dad, to help His Dementia, and also to have some good memories of Him, after He passes. I was in tears *:o(* Whoever has Thumbed down this Vid, must have a Heart of stone!

cutepie330 does msp No. He's still alive atm. His Son is doing this with Him, as it seems to help His memory a bit. Which is obviously a good thing. Sadly though, eventually it will worsen though, and people with Alzheimer's usually do pass over from it. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because the Brain controls everything in your Body, like breathing etc, so as it dies off, then I guess things in the Body start to stop working eventually *:o(* However, it will also leave behind some happy memories of the Dad, for the Family, after He does pass over.

Totally agree with you! I just don't get that people have given this superb display of love, admiration and respect both men have for each other. the thumbs down. Heartless...

Dad has a beautiful voice. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him singing this song. Cherish every moment of singing with your dad. My Grandfather has vascular dementia & some of my fondest memories are of getting the old records on & singing with him. God bless you both.

My dad passed with dementia & seeing this makes me remember the “great times”... True gentleman.💋

You two make me want to sing Quando, Quando, Quando everyday!

This is so great! And I guess I just fell in love with the son.....;-)

You made me cry. My dad died last year aged 94. We had a great relationship and I love how you and your dad are connected. We don't have them forever. Bless you both.

I have watched this before and it still warms my heart. So touching

This is like car karaoke. Love it. I can see where the son gets his good looks from! Bless you for caring and looking after your dad. Isn't music great?

The way the son looks at his father brings a tear to my eye. Because my dads no longer here!

the joy on his sons face is priceless...... great memories for sure

I listen to this video several times a day. I love your dad's singing, Simon. and I love the way YOU love your dad. It shows in your eyes and smile every time you look at him.

My dearest mother very sadly passed away last year following a 12 year battle with dementia. Even on the worst of days she loved to sing & was word perfect when singing along to her favourites, Jim Reeves & Roy Orbison. Doctors are baffled as to why a patient can recall song lyrics or name an entire football team from the past yet fail to recognise a loved one. Keep singing Ted & very best wishes to you & your family.

My first KZread comment post ever! Perhaps it is because it the only one that has warranted it. Goosebumps, misty-eyes and a very loud singalong that I dearly hope annoyed my neighbors!! I'm 42, my daughter is 19, and this is what we do whenever the occasion calls for it, or doesn't. I hope she reads this post (not likely) because no matter what, the music brings us together and I hope this continues until my twilight years!!! We recently visited my 94 y/o Nana, and all it took was a word or slight phrase and we all broke out in a song from The Sound of Music. It transported us all, she included to another time and place, and was the best medicine imaginable. My cheeks hurt from smiling. :) Thank you so much for sharing.

Ea Beaton Eloquently put.

Used to sing with my mom after she had lost her ability to talk due to Parkinson's. But she could sing! She was a trained vocalist with perfect pitch...could sing notes she'd never sung. She trained me and told me I was singing before I was talking. Anyway, I have a video of her and me singing, "Chicago," just a few months before she died. It was a joy to sing with her, so I understand the joy this young man is having with his father.

I absolutely love this. My dad died 6 years ago with Alzheimer's disease. Music was one of the few joys he had. Thank you for bringing awareness and raising money for research. Your dad is brilliant. He has raised a fine son.

My mother is 97 and she just loved this. Thank you for inspiring all of us and all good wishes to this family.

I love their talking during the instrumental part

テレビで見た時の衝撃が忘れられなかった。 I Could not forget shock when I saw it on TV. なんて素敵な歌声！ What a wonderful singing voice！

This is the second singing video I've seen. He sings so beautifully and powerfully. I wish him all the best.

You're both great, guys. What a wonderful gift are your voices.

This makes me smile every time I watch it a great 0beautiful memory to have

My dad suffered with dementia I know how hard it is to live with a loved one living with this, this video makes me think back to the good times. I miss him so much, I feel I did everything I could to care for him but he sadly passed 6 years ago now but watch ling this makes me think to the better times we had together, thanks for posting

Absolutely brilliant, 3 minutes of pure gold. I do hope both driver and passenger (songaminuteman) made many more...

I just love this video. A moment of clarity for a man with dementia. Music brings him home!

That was wonderful. I fell in love that quickly with the old man.

M husband has Alzheimer's we spend so much time singing together and he loves it. My mother also had Alzheimer's and her favourite time was when she could sing along with someone. So many lovely memories are created in that way

I love how you have found something so beautiful in something so difficult! These fantastic memories will help you through the really dark days of Alzheimer's

I have watched this over and over and over Bless his son and such good memories he will have someday. Bless them both!

I am going to watch this every time I need cheering up!! I have never been so happy to see two strangers singing their hearts out. Just perfect!! Well done guys!! Keep spreading happiness everywhere!!! Sending love to you both and to everybody listening to you sing!! Love and happiness makes the world go round!! This is just so beautiful to watch! ❤ well done!!!

the best feeling you can have between father and son. how great is this! Really beautiful to see, thanks!❤🍀❤🍀❤

This melts my heart.

Love, love, LOVE this!! The precious affection between father and son and the pure JOY and fun they share here! PERFECT!

I'm an ex barrel chested war hero and I've just cried like a child, thank you for reminding me that there is love left in this country.

How come I've never heard this song before? (And I love songs from this era). I love this duo! I've worked with Alzheimer's sufferers for the past 12 years and it's amazing what music does to some of them. It unlocks their brains like you wouldn't believe.

What a love that man shows for his dad brilliant

My dad had dementia last 5 years of his life and had a hell of a voice to used to sing this song and the good life by Tony Bennett . He was a bricklayer and I was lucky enough to work with him for a big part of my life and he sung daily as he layed brick after brick it kept him going I lost my dad 2020 to Dementia he was 86 and my mum 2023 due to a fall she was nearly 84 I count myself lucky to have had them in my life that long but miss them both every day you only get one mum and dad cherish them for it doesnt last forever ❤️

I worked as a carer for 36 years many years ago a lady who had a severe stroke lost her speech she would get so upset and frustrated trying to talk, I was putting her in bed one night and started singing "what,ll I do" to get to my amazement she joined in with the most beautiful voice, she choked me with tears and she carried on singing bless her. Evelyn wherever you are with the angels now keep on singing xxx

Please release this, it is the best version ever! I love this video for every reason going. Hope you make tons of cash and huge love to your Dad x

Searched this video after reading an article on a newspaper that this gentleman has got a recording deal. I can't wait to buy his single. A very moving video put me in tears. Well done to the son as well 👏👏👏👏

My mom lost her battle with dementia 3 years ago. But the one thing that always brought her back was music. I would play salsa on my cell phone and she and I would dance in her room. She still had the rhythm. I miss you mom. Hold that dance card open for me. Til we meet again. I love you so much.

You are both amazing. A really beautiful story. I am losing the Father I knew due to Alzheimers. Week by week I lose him more - a terrible thing. To see you and your Father enjoying each other's company and the obvious pleasure he gets from singing is magical. A million 'thumbs up' to you both.

I could listen to Quando Quando Quando over and over ,, first time was on Facebook, father and son in the car ... it made feel happy seeing them both so in tune with one another and enjoying the moment .

Always loved this song anyway, now even more so thanks to this absolute LEGEND. Thanks

He doesn't like that seatbelt....ahahahaha! Love you guys!😍

We sang years ago in our car as a family on long trips. I love watching your videos not only for my fun memories but also how awesome to hear you both sing...such a joy!

God i haven't heard that song in ages and i love that song . Thank you guys .

I love this video and i love Spanish eyes. My aunt used to sing and she had the same disease as your father, watching this brings back the nice memories of her singing. I enjoy watching this and singing along with it please keep up the beautiful videos :)

I watched a tv program in Japan yesterday. I was touched by him, his story and his family. I shed a tear so much. Thank you for singing to me.

This was on my Facebook 6 years ago. It came back as a memory today. Made my day. (My husband passed away from dementia 14 years ago) ❤

0:52 - 1:04 when Simon just gives way to the pro in his dad Tony who seems to have a flashback and easily switches up to another level where Simon couldn't follow but then still calls his son back in. Respect! Great clip of father & son bond, even in difficult times, still watched 3 years later. Best wishes to all.

My heart needed this today.... thanks for sharing the beautiful moments with you and your father 💖💖💖💖
