1. I watched it, and I agree. What an incredible program

Gospel for Teens is! I was so impressed. And saddened by the plight of some of those kids. Without this, they have no hope.

7. Joyful, joyful, Lord we adore theeeee! Wow! What better way to celebrate and preserve

gospel--an African-American original just as sure as jazz is; the music and the kids both benefit.

And I LOOOOOVE gospel, I just can't sing it worth a damn.

12. NY radio personality wants to save gospel music so has organized NYC

kids into a choir in a Harlem brownstone.

Incredible voices, great stories about how it has inadvertently helped the kids. And the music is just amazing.

14. Any project that can give youth confidence in each other and hope

is worth doing. This is great.

13. Loved it. But it was really sad to think of how many kids are at risk in poor neighbourhoods in the

USA. I mean when they asked the kids if they had suffered the loss of someone 1/3 of the kids put up their hands. And I also thought....what a bout the kids who don't have an obvious talent...how will they find a safe place.
