Reviewer: Anthony M. Murphy '99 from Brooklyn, NY USA
Once again the influence of African-American Culture takes center stage in the cultural development of America. It was these young and very naive band of singers, that forever altered the course of music in America. Bringing to the world, a genre of music that was(is) able to hold the audience in complete awe. This story chronicles each members humble beginnings, a story that brings the to light the triumph of the human spirit and the unfailing resolve of African-Americans "to make a way out of no way"
