You're Sixteen

Song information from wikipedia

"You're Sixteen" is a song written by the Sherman Brothers (Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman). It reached number eight in the United States in December, 1960 by Rockabilly singer Johnny Burnette. In January 1974, a cover version by Ringo Starr hit number one. The latter performance reunited Ringo Starr with his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney who is credited on the album cover as having played the instrumental solo on a kazoo. Starr's version remains one of the few #1 singles to feature a kazoo solo. Harry Nilsson sang backing vocals.

The original 1960 version of "You're Sixteen" by Johnny Burnette is featured prominently on the 1973 motion picture soundtrack of American Graffiti.

I've seen this video before and sent it to friends; it's really cute; it's nice to see older people singing and loving the music and keeping fit and alive thru it.

Thanks Jason,

I need to keep picking songs for him to sing he's got a good voice, I'm not to good at harmonizing with him though.

We have our first `live` performance coming up on 12th August in Plymouth should be a good night.
