Frank Sinatra is an enduring musician whose music will always remain popular. As evidenced by their viral video of the song “Me and My Shadow,” it is clear that dad Matt Clayton and son Archie are well aware of this. This upbeat Sinatra tune, which he collaborated on with Sammy Davis Jr., would be perfect for a delightful duet between Matt and Archie.
Matt effortlessly channels the timeless charm and velvety vocals of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, delivering a flawless Sinatra impersonation. However, young Archie really shines when it comes to Davis’s sections. A heartwarming video of a father and son singing together has gained popularity online, showcasing their evident joy and love for music.
With a staggering 2.3 million views, Matt and Archie’s cover quickly became a viral sensation on YouTube. Believe it or not, the Claytons’ cover of “Me and My Shadow” has actually surpassed the original recording to become the most popular version of the song on YouTube. Online viewers were deeply moved by the heartwarming moment of family togetherness and were equally impressed by the duo’s vocal talents.
Viewers were thrilled and expressed their enthusiasm with comments like “This is fantastic.” “Do you know how many children can sing along with any of Frank Sinatra’s songs? Go for it!” “Did anyone catch the child harmonizing the last few lines? It can be quite difficult for a child of that age to both hear and play the harmony line. He is truly meant to sing!”
