The McCrary Foundation Choir – Let There Be Peace:
The McCrary Foundation Choir is a 36 member family recording act comprised of three generations, of one family, ranging from ages 3 to 70. They are the go-to choir for musicβs most memorable performances including Michael Jacksonβs internationally televised funeral in 2009, Beyonceβs 2015 Grammy performance of βTake My Hand, Precious Lord,β and Common and John Legendβs βGlory,β also performed at the 2015 Grammy Awards. The choir is an offshoot of The McCrarys, the acclaimed American family Gospel and R&B group known for the songs “You” (featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica), “Love on a Summer Night,” and “Any Ol’ Sunday” (later covered by Chaka Khan). http://www.mccraryfoundation.org/the-mccrary-family
βLet There Be Peaceβ was written to reflect the atrocities recently occurring all over the world. βIn the U.S.,β βthe African American community keeps losing life after life as a result of police brutality and increasing racial tension. Devastating gun violence is taking its toll around the world, from San Bernardino to Orlando to Paris, contributing to growing Islamophobia. Possibly the worst of all are the heartbreaking images being released of children covered in debris and blood from the war in Syria. While acknowledging the current problems plaguing the world, the McCraryβ Foundation βhopeβsβ to inspire change through peace and harmony with their new single.
