The Real Deal
Nov 6th, 2007 by John Setzler
Tonight, I had the pleasure of photographing the “Real Deal Talent Search Concert” at the Ridgeview Recreation Center in Hickory. This was a group of young people who participated in Rick Cline’s grant and privately funded project over the last few months which ended with tonight’s public performances.
In the picture above, 11-year-old Robert Sherrill looks at a wild standing ovation from the crowd after his powerful performance of Mary Mary’s “Yesterday.” All of tonight’s 11 performers were outstanding, but this kid left me speechless. I can’t recall the last time I saw this much command and confidence from an 11-year-old…
hello, it’s me Robert Sherrill. Thank you for your comment. I love singing. I’ve been singing since I was one years old and I love it. If anyone knows a way for me to get famous write me. Thanks. Bye.
