"My name is Jon Daker" is an internet viral video of a recital at First United Methodist Church in Peoria, Illinois, US in 1990 that was broadcast on public access TV.[1] It has been viewed more then 5 million times on YouTube. In the video a member of the church Jon Daker is accompanied by a pianist as he sings renditions of "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" and "That's Amore." While performing he uses unusual phrasing, pauses randomly, and appears to forget song lyrics. Daker died in 2022. [2][3][4]
