There's a great 'back story' behind this guys performances .... but he doesn't do any original; songs ...
Judging from another recent thread on here, some may say he's just doing covers of songs which in their original form have really enriched people's lives (mine included). But I believe he demonstrates real soulful content, probably due to the hardships he's endured during that life. To me his efforts do not come across as empty re-imagining of soul classics. The quality he displays mean he's more than a mere cover-merchant; never coming across as cringey or dire. He creates a groove, has guts and is in no way flat, bland, unpassionate in the way he performs his 'covers'.
Due to the show he performed on being mainstream peak TV viewing, the song arrangements are lavish. They support his vocals well, allowing him to really interpret the songs he tackles. Many may dismiss his efforts, but I applaud them. The Masqueraders got a huge amount of good publicity from appearing on this show, I hope it can also act as a boost to a future singing career for Archie.
Thank You for Posting This Roburt
