Reviewer:
William Havemeyer from Hoboken, NJ |
I read about this CD in the NY Daily News, and
ordered a copy. WOW! The CD is literally thrilling, like being at a live
concert! Some big time singers make up this CD, Billy Porter has an
amazin solo, Gavin Creel's voice is as beautiful as any, Michael McElroy
is a genius! If you buy one Christmas CD, this is the one. Beautiful,
powerful, and true to the title, it has brought me great joy. I am
getting a few more for gifts, this is truly something to share in this
season.

New York Times Article
On November 12, 2001, The New York Times printed an article about the
Broadway Inspirational Voices and their desire to share the message and power of gospel music.
Broadway Inspirational Voices is unusual for being composed of people from different racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Some members are Jewish, some Buddhist. All ...are welcome.
"People come and celebrate whatever sense of God they have in their lives."
- Michael McElroy, Founder
"...this isn't part of what I was brought up with [Catholicism], but the spirit and the message is universal."
- Vance Avery
