Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin can sing!!!

Who said the Russian Prime Minister and former Persident, Vladimir Putin, can't sing??

Putin recently showed to the world that he indeed can sing in a charity event to raise fund to fight children cancer at an event in St Petersburg, Russia.

Putin sang "Blueberry Hill" in front of celebrities including US actors and actresses - Kevin Costner, Mickey Rourke, Sharon Stone, Kurt Russell, Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci, Ornella Muti, Goldie Hawn and France's Gerard Depardieu.

You are really great Putin...

But i wonder why Putin likes this song?? Was it a nostalgia song?? Does it reminds Putin of his love life in the 60s or 70s or 80s??

This is truly From Russia with love

Blueberry Hill Lyrics

I found my thrill on blueberry hill
On blueberry hill when I found you
The moon stood still on blueberry hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on blueberry hill
