Gripping Voices
Before the age of Kidz Bop, there was the The Langley Schools Music Project. Luckily for us, these 1976-77 recordings of a 60-kid chorus were discovered, dusted off and released to the general public.
The voices are raw and powerful and, yes, it does sound like a bunch of kids singing in a gymnasium, but they're singing their hearts out and quite honestly there is something I cannot quite pinpoint about their haunting voices that just moves me and never fails to bring a tear or two to my eye. I received it as a baby gift when my now 5-year old son was born and it is still one of the most treasured gifts we received.
The recordings were remastered and cleaned for improved fidelity. They are also now widely available on CD and on digitally on iTunes.

About this Column
The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
