It was 2007 and the super-hit television show had just entered its 6th season when American television viewers were introduced to Sundance Head for the first time.
Head, whose father was a professional recording artist himself, definitely inherited the talent gene! Roy Head had a No. 1 song in 1965 called “Treat Her Right”.

With his talented roots and unbelievable vocal skills, Sundance Head decided he’d try his hand at American Idol – and his decision was well received!
Appearing at the Memphis auditions, Head left all three of the judges in a state of shock when he belted out one of the most powerful a cappella renditions of “Stormy Monday” you’ll ever hear.
