MONTREAL, June 28 — Last Saturday, a Montreal busker landed a gig that he won’t be forgetting about too soon.

Jason Deeh Pitre told CBC News that he was finishing up his set for the day when he heard a voice say to him, "You really touched me. You have an amazing voice.”

When he looked up, he realised it was his idol, four-time Grammy award-winning artist Seal.

To Deeh Pitre’s amazement, the Kiss From a Rose singer then asked if he would be open to performing a duet together.

They decided to perform the Ben E. King classic, Stand by Me, which you can see in the video shot by a passer-by above.
