[Dixielandjazz] Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. interviewed - NPR

[Robert Ringwald]

A TV Singing Star Champions the Pop Standard
NPR's "All Things Considered," December 18, 2011
Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. caught a lot of people off guard when he opened his mouth
to sing at his televised audition for "America's Got Talent." The dreadlocked former
car-washer is 6'4" and in his late 30s, but when he belted the first notes of the
pop standard "I've Got You Under My Skin" like a certain blue-eyed crooner, audiences
and judges alike delightedly voiced their surprise.
Murphy's own social circle was harder to win over. He tells NPR's Guy Raz that at
first, his family members laughed at the thought of him singing Sinatra.
