“We’re featuring so many good people in this world,” he told Parade in August. “They’re dignified, they care deeply for their families and have deep work ethics,” he says. “It’s fulfilling for me to be around people like that.”
Connick also has a few surprises in store for his fans. In a teaser video for Harry, he made one fan’s day on a Chicago street by surprising her and singing her a few bars of a classic love song.
