Thad Cockrell: Swingin'
Thad Cockrell's song "Swingin'" hit #1 on the iTunes music charts last month, in large part because of a push from Jimmy Fallon. Fallon heard Cockrell's song while in a hardware store. He was so moved by the song, he asked Cockrell to be a guest on The Tonight Show. Little did Fallon know, Cockrell had just told his managers the day before the invite that he was considering moving on to a different career after such a difficult year for music in 2020. Hear the inspiring story in this latest episode.
