Old Man In Nursing Home Reacts To Hearing Music From His Era


This just might be the best thing you'll see all week. Watch what happens when an elderly man named Henry, living in a nursing home, usually unresponsive, is given music from back in his day to listen to. Ah! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. OK, I did a bit of both.
The video features renowned neurologist and author Oliver Sacks explaining the reaction: "Henry is restored to himself. He has remember who he is for a while, through the power of music."
Henry's favourite? Cab Calloway.
