Former NFL player Esera Tuaolo is a contestant on the current season of NBC's The Voice, coached by country singer Blake Shelton. Tuaolo, whose NFL career saw him play for Green Bay, Jacksonville, and Carolina, among others, began his singing career while with the Packers, performing "The Star Spangled Banner" in full uniform before a game in the early 90's.
For a recent episode of The Voice, Tuaolo reached back all the way to the late 60's-early 70's for a cover of "Superstar", made most famous by the Carpenters, and covered in later years by the late Luther Vandross. Seems Tuaolo is channeling Vandross on this 2 minute compact cover.
The Yahoo! article I read only acknowledged Vandross' version, but we know better, don't we?
