Delivering a new baby can be a scary and stressful experience even for the easiest of deliveries.

For women who delivered under Dr. Carey Andrew-Jaja’s watch over the last 40 years, though, the entire experience was just a little bit less daunting thanks to his stellar reputation—and for the babies he delivered, their first moments were always especially sweet.Andrew-Jaja, an OB/GYN who spent four decades delivering newborns at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, finally decided to call it quits this spring. The reputation he’ll leave behind, though, was one that few doctors will ever be able to top.

Known as “The Singing Doctor,” he sang either “What a Wonderful World” or “Happy Birthday” to each of the 8,000-plus bundles of joy he helped enter the world over the course of his career.

The idea, he explained, came from a doctor whom he met while he was doing his residency who did the same thing. When that doctor retired, he encouraged Andrew-Jaja to take his place.

“There was a gentleman, an older obstetrician-gynecologist on staff and he loved to sing. And later on when he was about to retire, he asked me, ‘Andy, do you sing to your babies?’ And I said, ‘Well, no. It’s your stuff,’” Dr. Andrew-Jaja recalled.
