What happens when an 85-year-old woman decides to take the karaoke mic at a Dallas senior living facility? You get a show-stopping rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” that leaves everyone in the room feeling a little misty-eyed. Carole Wade, a lifelong singer, proved that age is just a number and that people can truly connect through music—no matter how old they are!
Wade’s performance wasn’t just another karaoke moment; it was an emotional experience that reminded everyone present of their own lives and memories. With a history of performing alongside everyone from Elvis impersonators to her band Psychedelic Oatmeal, Wade has spent decades harmonizing her way through life. At 85, she’s not slowing down—it seems she might even kickstart a new band with friends at the senior home.
It’s a heartwarming story that underscores the incredible power of music as a medium for therapy and connection. After all, who doesn’t love a good old rock anthem to lift their spirits? What song would you choose to belt out if you had the chance to perform in front of your peers?
