A British street singer made an elderly woman’s day by crooning an oldie but goodie by none other than The King — and both of their performances are an absolute treat to watch.

The guy’s name is Jason Allan — an independent artist and judge on BBC One’s “All Together Now” — and he busks throughout different parts of England in his spare time. Recently, he ran into an older fan, a woman named Daphne, who had a very special request.
She wanted to hear Elvis, so Jason obliged and covered one of Elvis’ most famous songs, “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” You gotta watch the rest yourself … seriously.
For starters, Jason’s singing puts Daphne into a trance — she starts swaying and dancing right then and there … no shame to her game. You can tell it was a hit in her time, and hearing it again probably made her feel like a young lady all over again. It’s just awesome.
Now for Jason, who’s a helluva singer. The guy knows all the lyrics down to a T … and his voice is incredible. Everything he sings/covers is pretty good frankly, but this one just hits special … especially with how he interacts with Daphne.

Part of the clip went viral online, so Jason threw up the full thing — thank God — and he’s quite grateful for the support. He writes, “This video is currently at 7.2 million views on TikTok and I’m overwhelmed at how such a simple video can be loved and shared by so many people!” He says he’s trying to find his muse too, adding … “Mark my words I’m trying my best to find Daphne and let her know how much joy she has spread around the world.”
In a time of overwhelming darkness, this is a nice light to focus on for a moment.
