U of I alumni (and spouses) appear on America’s Got Talent

A pair of University of Illinois alumni have recently appeared on NBC’s America’s Got Talent this past week, performing a rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “You’re All I Need to Get By” to rousing applause.

The couple, who are also married to one-another, have previously experienced success as backup singers for artists like Alicia Keys and Estelle. They have dubbed themselves The Smiths, but something tells me that name may be taken.

Regardless, it’s awesome to see more music from Champaign-Urbana getting some national shine. Stream the performance below:
