On this year’s idol, a 64-year old man named Sherman Pore auditioned in front of Simon, Paula, and Randy, and probably brought a lot of people to tears (that includes me and Paula Abdul). His story was something poignant. He sang “You Belong To Me” and dedicated it to his late “lady love”, Melissa Miller, who died just 2 days before the audition. She had died of ovarian cancer.

The news is, an album of his is currently in the works, and the proceeds of the said album will benefit cancer research.

The 64-year-old American Idol hopeful who stunned viewers and the judges with a moving tribute for his deceased “lady love” during the Los Angeles auditions last fall is coming out with an album that will benefit the “City of Hope” cancer research.

He is also rumored to guest on the final episode of American Idol this season. That will surely be an anticipated emotional moment. Watch this video, and be moved as well.
