Can you believe that a performance can be produced randomly anytime and anywhere?
On a normal day, a woman named Cassandra Turner Nelson was standing in the canned vegetable section of a store, listening to the song “If This World Were Mine.” Donnell Cross and his friend Craig, who were getting lunch at the time, overheard Nelson singing and were impressed by her talent.
Cross, feeling inspired, asked Craig to record him as he approached Nelson and inquired if she was the one singing the song. Meanwhile, Craig struggled with the camera app on his phone. Nelson confirmed that she could sing well, and Cross began to sing along. Around 50 seconds into the video, Nelson joined in.
Craig asked Cross to repeat the question, and just as he did, Craig remembered to turn his phone horizontally for better recording. It becomes evident in the video that Cross is a skilled singer who knows the song well.
Interestingly, Nelson, a 50-year-old woman, is the daughter of Norris Turner, a gospel music singer and preacher. She has previously worked as a backing singer for various gospel acts and even performed at a convention in Sweden.
Nelson and Cross couldn’t resist bursting into the chorus halfway down the canned foods aisle. Their voices were impressive, and they knew the song perfectly. A crowd quickly gathered, and onlookers recorded the unexpected performance.
Donnell decided to share the video online, and it immediately went viral, gaining over 6 million views. The odds of two strangers singing so beautifully and harmonizing word for word are incredibly rare, making the spectacle a standout moment.
Plenty of people left compliments in the comment session. One YouTube user wrote, “I’m simply blown away by the harmony, this does something that I can’t explain.These two singing together gives me chills, It’s so very pleasant to hear them sing together.” Another added, “I don’t care how I got here, I’m just glad I did. ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING connection.”
