Susan Boyle, at 23, singing “The Way We Were” (1984)

From the UK’s Mirror:

The tape was unearthed by Gerry McGuinness, 61, who was in the audience that night at Motherwell FC’s social club.

He recalled: “She was so shy but she was also very attractive back then – she turned a few heads when she came in. She didn’t win the contest, though.”

Had Luciano Pavarotti been a woman, would we have missed his great gift?
