……………………I’m interrupting my retrospective series of my Fall 1993 series to bring you an incredible talent…………CORMAC THOMPSON…………I recently discovered him on YouTube, but I’m late to the party since he was on the “UK Got Talent” show in 2022, at the tender age of 12…..He has become very successful, and has put out many recordings….He has the sweet voice that can only come from one who is young…..I have listened to many of his songs, and all have been superb……..but there are four I would like to recommend……..”Empty Chairs at Empty Tables”, from “Les Miserables”, which is one of the most haunting, and saddest songs I have ever heard. His angelic voice will pull at your heart strings as it did mine……”A Time For Us” from “West Side Story” is so heart felt it is hard to believe such a young soul sings it with such conviction……….”Sleepsong”, from “Lord Of the Rings”, was not a song I was familiar with, but it is simply beautiful…….and “Cinema Paradiso”, by the brilliant Ennio Morricone. He sings it tenderly in perfect Italian!…..I am sure you will enjoy this very talented young man.
Thanks for the recommendation.
