Now, I have to find this talented rapper again. I was in a hurry on my way back to the office so I managed only this one photograph of him. I have to state I do not like rappers but what this man was doing was real art - real singing. I hope to meet him again.
I came across a contingent of girls running through the Sydney Circular Quay dressed in colourful outfits, singing, dancing and simply having a ball. Every now and than they would stop and serenade a person or a group of people in an outdoor restaurant with the old Johnny Burnette song “You’re Sixteen”. The song is better known from a cover by Ringo Starr. Here is its first verse:
“You come on like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine”
I was most impressed with the singing ability of this high school girl. She is a star in the making with large vocal scale and beautiful and powerful voice. I cannot be certain but I suspect a very formal classical training is behind her talent and if she chooses to follow the singing path I can see a very good soprano talent in her.
