Zach Montana used TikTok to help his father’s unreleased song from the '70s go viral.
Smith’s infectious song “Surrender to Me,” has more than four million streams on Spotify. Earlier this year, Montana, an aspiring musician, and Smith, 70, performed together on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Montana noted that Smith has"been out of the game for a little while," but is now experiencing a career resurgence thanks to TikTok. “At the time, the market was flooded with this kind of music,” Montana said. “I believe they pitched it to Motown Records and a few other subsidiaries, but nothing happened. And back then, they had no way of distributing it without a label. Obviously, there were no streaming platforms.”
