      I truly believe that people of color (African descent) were gifted from ancestries to be great movers to rhythms, great creators of music, and of course wonderfully gifted in singing ALL KINDS OF MUSIC CREATIONS. That is why so many who are not BLACK or do not want to identify as BLACK...take from BLACKS and their NATURAL talents to get them SOME!!!.. And sadly so, many do not want to accept their heritage until it has 'VALUE OF SOME KIND' for them...otherwise, they ride the so-called 'WHITE TRAIN' until they rode enough and the same people who steal, criticize, demoralized BLACK people; then when trouble arises; they remember what people are theirs and they seek their respect, love, and support. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!

    AS AN AVID music lover, and historian on AFRICAN American culture & music genres in particular, THIS whole video IS AMAZING!!!
    It brings about a soulful connection between the elder's 70's funk sound & swag mixed in with the new 2020 young generation's swag!
    The adorable uniforms, the sweet and adorable, yet sassy voices that were hitting EVERY KEY, their lil dances and indvidual facial expressions and signature moves were spot on
    Makes you feel like youre at a black family reunion with your lil cousins performing for the elders /but also at a George clinton concert getting your groove on with the elders lol! The instruments fantastic/ the videography on point
    With the recent reports about the bleek outlook concerning Detroit.....yet the Magnificent & HISTORICAL importance that DETROIT (Motown) has played in the birthing and production of a new wave/sound concering African American/Black music in the 50's/60's that brought up many many ground breaking artist & musicians, a good amount of whom became Hall Of Fame-A-list Celeberities and other forms of significant players in this walk of life makes this Video that much more LOVEABLE!
    A nostalgical moment mixed in with HOPE & what seems to be a possible BRIGHT future for Detroit!!

    Those young people are expanding their horizon to a song many of us listened to and enjoyed. They did an excellent job. Their project was divers and tastefully done.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I just met one of the young ladies in the choir at a hotel we were staying at. She sang for us and she has an amazing voice and vocal control. Anaiya I'm expecting great things from you. Kudos to all of these parents who are raising these kids with morals and values... These are the ones we need to see on Worldstar. The true young representatives of a proud black people... Derrick...
