ALBANY --
It's been months since Leesburg native Phillip Phillips won American Idol but he's still going strong.

The 21-year-old's single "Home" was used in the Olympics around the same time the official video was released - sending it to the top of the iTunes charts yet again.

"It just blows us away, everything that's going on. We're so proud of him and they're keeping him real busy. He probably doesn't realize how big it is,” said Donnie Phillips.

That's not all. "Home" is also being used in the movie "Trouble with the Curve" starring Clint Eastwood and Donnie says he's excited to see it.
