Frankie Mack was working as a holiday rep in Tenerife when a recently-bereaved man asked him to sing his late wife’s favourite song on stage.
He spent all afternoon practising for the evening show, then gave it his best shot.
“I was absolutely terrible,” he says. “I’m embarrassed at how bad I was at singing.”
But his performance of Dean Martin’s Little Ole Wine Drinker Me went down so well with the widower and the hotel guests it set Frankie on a new course.
He set about learning how to sing by watching YouTube videos – and he now earns a living as a professional singer.
