These babies are worth fighting for, we've come to far, excellent delivery!!! I love this Choir, the leaders that continue to serve these phenomenal youth for decades now.
Glory Hallelujah! ๐ค๐โจโจโจ

if they were already standing, is it still a "standing ovation"
It started out very, very British then went black American gospel. Excellent ๐
