  • A full-service recording studio in East Peoria, Illinois that specializes in a variety of services, including music, short films, photography, music videos, and design, Green Shoe Studio went viral in 2013 with the song "Oh Sweet Lorraine," which was written by then 96-year-old, first-time songwriter Fred Stobaugh, in honor of his then recently deceased wife of 75 years, Lorraine. Stobaugh sent the song to Green Shoe as part of the studio's singer/songwriter contest, and producer/singer/songwriter Jacob Colgan was so moved by the lyrics, that he wrote music for and recorded the song, which eventually cracked the Billboard Hot 100.

    Almost 2022 and I still remember the song and Fred's name.
    BTW: In September 2013 the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 42, making him the oldest artist to appear on the Hot 100. It also entered the Swiss Hitparade and the Ö3 Austria Top 40. On August 22, 2014, his 97th birthday, Stobaugh released a second song, Took Her Home. The next week, Green Shoe Studio posted several follow-up documentary videos on Fred's story and the public's response. He died in November 2016 at the age of 99.
    I searched for the original video. It looks like something happened to Green Shoe Studios. Jacob Colgan doesn't even have the song on his channel and he's in a video production direction now. Don't delete this video - ever.

    It's the story behind the song that makes it even more special (and emotional).. You can feel the heartache, but it's a different kind of pain.. It's a good pain that you know your years was never wasted because it was spent with your loved one.. In stories, we call it a "happy ending".. But in real life, we call it "death".
