The Songaminute Man, real name Ted McDermott, rose to internet fame recently as the Alzheimer's sufferer who had landed a record deal.

His single, 'You Make Me Feel So' was released this week and is already riding high in the charts, beating DJ and record producer Calvin Harris and singer Ellie Goulding.

Ted and his son Mac rose to fame after Mac posted a video of them doing their own version of Carpool Karaoke driving around a supermarket car park in Lancashire.

Mac's intention was to raise ÂŁ1000 for the Alzheimer's Society, but it led to so much more than that. The video became an instant hit online and raised thousands of pounds for the charity.

Just a month later Ted was offered a record deal.
