here's nothing like music to lift the spirits and touch the heart and, in an Instagram post on Wednesday, English singer-songwriter Sam Smith managed to do just that.
The 27-year-old, dressed in a simple white T-shirt, posted an Instagram Live video. In it, he sings the song "Joyful, Joyful", which was featured in the movie, Sister Act 2 (1993).
In the accompanying caption, Smith wrote: "Watched Sister Act 2 last week and now I can't get this beauty out my head, especially after seeing @pink's incredible version…"
Smith was referencing singer Pink's rendition, who sang it during bath time with her son in an Instagram Live on Tuesday.
Especially after seeing @pink’s incredible version... your teacher says take off your robes!!
