Eric Conway: Morgan Choir Video Footage of White House performances during the Reagan, Clinton, and Obama Administrations!

Hello everyone,


In doing some house cleaning over the weekend, I came across some rare video footage that I forgot that I even had in my possession. I found VHS tapes of the two other times that the Morgan State University Choir sang at the White House under Dr. Nathan Carter.  We sang in 1988 for the Reagans celebrating Broadway with Marvin Hamlisch as Musical Director.  In 1998 we sang for the Clintons featuring Cece Winans as host.  And of course, we just sang in April for the Obamas with Pastor Shirley Caesar, Tamela Manna, Lyle Lovett, and Aretha Franklin.   Please see links below to converted digital files uploaded to YouTube for the entire Morgan community to see!  Enjoy!

Thank you.  This video footage is fantastic, and I wanted as many persons who could to reminisce on those eras to have the opportunity.  Eric  [Eric Conway]
