Eighty-year-old Ted McDermott enjoyed a long career as an
entertainer before his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2013. After the
disease took its toll on Ted's relationships, memory, and mood,
his son Simon found a unique way for them to connect again:
carpool karaoke. While Ted sometimes couldn't recognize members
of his own family, he could miraculously remember song lyrics
from his past, and so the two men would enjoy singing together,
songs like ''Quando, Quando, Quando.''
