96-year-old Fred Stobaugh entered a singer-songwriter competition with a composition about his late wife Lorraine, who had died a month earlier after over seventy years of married life.

The studio running the competition decided to compose, arrange, produce and professionally record Fred’s song.
The video below tells the story.
