Grandpa in his 90s sings heartfelt ‘Hey There Delilah’ cover of his grandkid’s favorite song
Edwin Rayner, a British man in his mid 90s, had a calling quite late in life: to make his singing voice known to the world. His handle on social media is Granddad Sings (@grandad_sings), and seeing as how he is a grandfather to five grandkids, it’s a perfectly apt description. But it goes beyond that. He’s moving people with his pitch-perfect voice, but also inspiring many to remember that it’s never too late to follow a dream.
Rayner’s latest viral hit has close to 900,000 likes and almost 15,000 comments on TikTok, where he has 1.3 million followers. The tune is “Hey There Delilah” off of the pop band Plain White T’s third studio album. And the kicker is it’s one of his grandkids’ favorite songs, so it has extra special meaning.
