Move over, Lady Gaga. Our favorite 96-year-old is looking to dominate the music charts.
Last week, Fred Stobaugh melted hearts across the world when a song he wrote for his late wife went viral.
His lyrics to 'Oh Sweet Lorraine,' were originally entered into a singer-songwriter contest at Green Shoes Studios in Illinois. An employee, Jacob Colgan, surprised Stobaugh by putting the words to music. And now, the song is topping the charts.
