After being donated to London St Pancras Train Station by Elton John in 2016, the station’s public piano has attracted a number of stars to give surprise performances that Music Man readers love to see. When Aurélien Froissart sat at the piano to play in the summer of 2024, the last thing he expected was for singer Angelina Jordan to join him. True to her signature style, she removed her socks and shoes to sing barefoot, requesting Aurélien to accompany her on ‘Back to Black’ by Amy Winehouse.
Angelina stunned passersby with her voice, eventually drawing in a large crowd of people who stopped in their tracks to watch. As if the surprise performance couldn’t have become any more magical, halfway through the performance, saxophonist Micky Miller appeared amongst the crowd to join in, adding soulful saxophone to the song. The video of the impromptu performance moved viewers so much that one commented, “Seriously, the world is such a beautiful place, despite the chaos we see.”
Some Music Man readers may already be long-term fans of Angelina Jordan, as she has been amazing people with her voice ever since she first appeared on Norway’s Got Talent in 2014 at just seven years old. She performed ‘I’m A Fool To Want You’ by Billie Holiday, which went viral online. Viewers were absolutely stunned by young Angelina’s talent. She went viral once again in 2019, at age 13 when her America’s Got Talent: The Champions performance of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ received the golden buzzer.
