When you walk on a busy street, what are the things that you usually see, and who are the people you always bump into? It’s probably the ones who are minding their own businesses.

All of these people have their own destinations to go to – including you. Even so, there are also people who would catch your attention along the way.

Among these are street performers who share their talents on the streets.

But have you seen a random person interrupting a performance?

Just like this person who even showed off her amazing style of singing.

Meet Abbe Rivers and witness how she nailed the song! This video is probably the best spontaneous version of Ooo Baby Baby we’ve heard in a long time.

This 1965 song was amazingly composed by the great Steve Robinson and Pete Moore.

The song was covered numerous times, but this street version will stick to you. The phenomenal performance happened in Lower Manhattan in Washington Square Park where a couple of buskers were minding their own business and playing songs. The show goes to a whole new level when a woman joins in.

The guitarist and the man who evidently loves to perform did not see it coming.

They were both shocked as the lady entered their performance. Nevertheless, they just let her join the spotlight. The funniest part is that the lady is carrying some things. She has a huge backpack and is obviously in the middle of something.

Her unexpected entrance made the performance perfect – despite the things she was carrying.

And she’s even casual about it! It’s certain that the only thing they were all after is some fun.

She bumped into a great band – The Connections.

This unique cover band does their thing for a cause. They raise money for charities. This is just one of the reasons why we should support them.

If you’ve seen them performing live, you’re so lucky!

And if you haven’t yet, make sure to give them a tip once you see them perform! Because the money that you would give them would go to a good cause. After all, they don’t even want to earn—they want to help. The singer has a great voice and as the video goes on, you’ll hear that it perfectly matches Abbe’s powerhouse vocals. It’s so nice to see people having fun.

Thankfully, this woman didn’t hesitate to share the astounding talent that she has.

She amazingly showed off her spontaneous part in this performance. She said that she’s been earning money for college by playing on the streets. The woman deserves every penny, as her voice is amazing! She doesn’t even need a mic to be heard—it’s just pure talent.

If you would watch the clip, you would see their chemistry.

People are obviously enthralled by the phenomenal duo. Today, Abbe is described as the R&B diva, a street busker, a session singer and a performance artist. Her latest album, Ordinary Fool, came out in 2003 and is available on Google Play, Amazon and Spotify.

Try to check out her song compilation in 2006 – it’s beyond beautiful.

“My lyrics tend to be a little tortured, yet the music is often uplifting and hopeful.”

That’s how Abbe described her style, and we can agree on the uplifting and hopeful part when it comes to this video.

The video has been viewed over 2.6 million times!
