In 2021, mother and son vocal duo Jasmine and Ian Turner revealed a heartwarming surprise for their YouTube audience just in time for Mother’s Day. And as viewers stumble across this clip even five years later, they’re still being left utterly enchanted.
Music Man readers can watch the moment unfold in the video below – Jasmine and Ian’s Mother’s Day performance has already racked up more than 29,700 views to date!
Jasmine, a mother of seven boys and one girl, sits beside eleven-year-old Ian, who leads their vocal cover with a clean, sweet, and buttery voice. The song in question? The Beatles’ timeless ballad, “Let It Be”.
When Jasmine delivers her verses, it’s clear where Ian gets his musical talent from; the pair share vivid similarities in their tones and expressions, enough to leave any viewer on the verge of tears for their deep-rooted family bond.
It’s a magical thing to see a mother’s love for music being sparked within her children. As Jasmine reveals in her video description, Ian first started singing at the age of three when he snuck on stage with his older siblings’ children’s choir. When Ian’s voice inevitably changes in the coming years, Jasmine plans on duetting with his younger siblings as well!
But why did the pair choose “Let It Be” for their Mother’s Day special? The answer might leave you sobbing…
As Jasmine writes, “We dedicate this song to all the mothers who have passed on words of wisdom to their children, knowing that Paul McCartney, who wrote this song with John Lennon, lost his own mother, Mary, when she was only 47 years old.
“We can only imagine what an inspiration Mary has been for Paul, even though she has passed on from this life. And that is the power of a mother. As you listen to this song, we invite you to think of the words of wisdom that your mother or a mother figure has taught you in your life. Take a moment to be grateful for that influence and think about how you might be able to carry on that legacy by passing on those words to a future generation. This song is dedicated to the mothers and grandmothers in our lives.”
After coming across this clip, countless fans have flocked to the comments section to share their love for Jasmine and Ian. One fan even begged the duo to take their talents to the TV talent world, writing, “You should go on The Voice!”
