Mike Berry sings on the voice

Well, I just watched the voice (awful program) and Mike Berry sang a Buddy Holly song (true love ways ) and at the age of 73, He sounded great, The singer/Actor made his first record with Joe Meek called ( A tribute to Buddy Holly ) back in the early 1960s, Mike was along with many more artists, One of Mr Meek's Recording artist with a big voice, He also had a part in the sitcom Are you being served ,



And it was Chas Hodges who persuaded him to go on the voice program, Although Mike has nothing to prove, He is still a great Singer !
