“The old-school entertainer, a former Butlin’s redcoat who has spent his whole life singing in working men’s clubs, singing in the bath, singing for family and friends, dreaming of his big break, will finally get it…The story of how they got to here is Simon’s as much as it is Ted’s—a story about the love of a son for his father.”

Daily Mail (London)

A powerful and emotional memoir about family and memory from the father-son singing sensation whose heartwarming carpool karaoke video took social media by storm.

At first, Simon's beloved father, Ted, suffered sudden bad moods and forgetfulness. Then the diagnosis: Alzheimer's.

Ted was disappearing from the family, but Simon wanted to hold on to him. While music could bring him back temporarily-the video of the two of them singing along to Ted's favorite song was a hit around the world-Ted could no longer tell his story.

This is that story.

The Songaminute Man is the heartbreaking, poignant tale of vanishing family memories, a celebration of Ted's life and a moving account of caring for a truly loved father.
