Today is Father’s Day in the United States, and to celebrate I’d like to share a father and son duet from Johnny and Nick Clegg. Johnny Clegg was a groundbreaking musician who, in apartheid South Africa, creating several illegal mixed-race bands in the 1980s. I encountered his music via George of the Jungle (I watched the credits for the first time ever because I wanted to know who did that song) and was able to explore it via limew- um, The Internet in the 2000s. One of his pieces was sung for his little boy, Jesse. Now, Jesse has followed his father’s footsteps and is a singer himself, and right before Johnny died of cancer they did a duet together. Since I’ve been following Johnny for twenty years, it’s one of the most beautiful things on youtube in my opinion.
