Davey belted out the George Gershwin classic “Summertime” while Walker played guitar.
“I was blown away by his voice, so I stopped a passerby and asked them to capture the moment on my camera phone and then uploaded the video to my Facebook page, where it quickly went viral as thousands of people shared it,” Walker said.
Walker’s post has 616,012 views and 6,028 shares.
“My spontaneous street jam with Bernard Davey was a soul-affirming, enriching experience which summed up everything I love about street culture,” Walker wrote on YouTube. “The streets are full of wonderful surprises and stories. I hope Bernard's amazing improvised version of 'Summertime' helps people to remember not to judge people they see on the streets according to their appearances, but to always look below the surface appearance and find the person underneath.”
