Charlotte Man Who Serenaded His Wife Sick With Cancer Lands Spot On ‘America’s Got Talent’

A North Carolina man who went viral for serenading his wife will now share his talent with the world on NBC’s America’s Got Talent Tuesday night.

A few years ago, Ray Singleton caught the attention of millions when he posted a video of him singing for his wife Roslyn before she underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor, WCNC-TV reported

After the video went viral, Ray and his wife attracted a large following online. They even caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres and were invited to her show. 

On Feb. 13, 2020, the couple appeared on The Ellen Show where Ray explained to DeGeneres what inspired him to make the video for his wife.

“…I literally just wanted to see my wife smile. She was in the waiting room, in surgery for a lot longer than it was supposed to be. So, I was nervous,” Ray said. “I wanted to make a video for my wife, that’s going to make her smile after having her head cut open.”

Roslyn, who is a two-time cancer survivor, says that Ray’s singing helped her heal. 

“Right before I went into brain surgery he sang ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley. ‘Every little thing is gonna be alright’ and that’s just been our mantra ever since,” Roslyn said.

Ray and Roslyn met in 2016 and on their first date, she informed him about her battle with cancer, The Charlotte Post reported. At the time, she had been cancer-free for six years, however, a month prior to the couple’s first wedding anniversary in 2018, her cancer returned.  

“There was never a second thought of not being there or anything like that. I was going to support my wife from day one. To know the effect that I have on her, at least I feel like I do, has helped her and it’s helped me, and it’s helped millions around the world. It’s unbelievable,” Ray said. 

For years, Singleton has been focused on making sure his wife was cancer-free. Little did he know that a video meant to help his wife battle cancer would be the key to unlocking an opportunity of a lifetime to perform on America’s Got Talent

Not only will he have his wife by his side, but he will get to live out one of his life-long dreams of sharing his “God-given gift” with the world. 

“It was unbelievable to know your dream that you’ve been working on your entire life has come true,” Ray told WCNC-TV.

Singleton taught himself how to play the piano at the age of 15. Since then, he has had a deep desire to share his skills and talents with society. 

He believes this opportunity to perform on America’s Got Talent will serve as an inspiration to people around the globe.

“This thing is so much bigger than us and then just the amount of people that this woman here inspires is unbelievable,” he said.
