Young@Heart

I've been a bit obsessed with these guys since i saw the channel 4 documentary early last year, and i couldn't remember the name of the singer who sang 'Fix You' by Coldplay or indeed the name of the singing group.
But now i've found them/him, and i still love it, it's just so so wonderful.

Young@Heart are a New England octogenarian chorus line.

The singer is called Fred Knittle, the story goes that he was supposed to sing it with another member of Young@Heart Bob Salvini, who sadly died of a heart attack shortly before, so Fred sang it alone.

I'm not much of a Coldplay fan, although i think they are absolutely fine, just perhaps a little bit ever so boring, but thumbs up to Chris Martin for writing a song with such moving lyrics.
You might want to grab a tissue before watching this video.




Here is the original, i like Fred's better.
