At The Music Man, we love to see the power of music, and we especially love to see the way that music can bring people together. 20-year-old Lucy Thomas showed a beautiful example of this to the world when she posted a heartwarming video on her YouTube channel for Mother’s Day. The simple black and white video showed Lucy together with her sister Martha and their mum Louise in a recording studio, performing a moving rendition of the classic song “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin and Nat King Cole.
Sharing the verses of the song between them, the family revealed that Lucy isn’t the only one with a beautiful singing voice. Both Martha and Louise showcased their own stunning vocals on the song, prompting many viewers to leave comments on the video, such as, “Now we see where Lucy and Martha got their beautiful voices.” Many viewers also shared how deeply moved they were by the performance, sharing personal stories of how the song reminded them of their own loved ones.
Despite mum Louise’s amazing vocal talents, she has never pursued a career in music herself. Lucy was the first member of the family to share her talent with the world when she appeared on The Voice Kids in 2018. Her breathtaking rendition of ‘Moon River,’ originally performed by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, left the judges in awe, with Will.i.am calling her voice “flawless.” Backstage, Louise proudly watched her daughter perform, commenting tearfully, “I could cry.”
Since her appearance on The Voice Kids, Lucy has pursued a music career of her own, releasing two albums and regularly uploading performances on her YouTube channel. Many of these feature duets with her sister, Martha. One of their most popular duets was a cover of ‘The Prayer’ by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, which received 6.8M views. Music Man readers will be stunned by the angelic harmony these sisters create together.
While there are few things that we love to see more here at The Music Man than an emerging young talent, getting to see the family that has helped to nurture that talent makes the experience that much more special. Through the videos Lucy has posted with her family, we not only get to see the talent she has inherited alongside her sister but also the love and support that brings all of the family together. It’s a beautiful reminder that music is more than just a showcase of talent – it’s a powerful force for connection, appreciation, and love.
