Description
Ella Jenkins is joined by other vocalists and musicians to sing and play spirituals, chants, blues, folk songs, and instrumentals. Their cadenced rhythms and measured vocals inspire free-form movement, dance, and sing-alongs.

Discipline, hard work, and dedication are the main themes in these interviews. Studio recordings from 1977. This recording received a 2002 Early Childhood News Director's Choice Award. 21 tracks plus interviews. 68 minutes.
