5.0 out of 5 stars My multilingual kindergarten class LOVES "A Man Named King", January 14, 1999

This review is from: Holidays & Special Times (Audio CD)

My multicultural class LOVES the song "A Man Named King." We would like to help it become a national theme song. It follows the spiritual genre and is one of those tunes that you cannot stop singing! We love the other holiday songs, but this is our favorite. How can we get this wonderful song some national exposure?

My first graders have enjoyed this song for many years when learning about MLK in January. The musical beauty of the song along with its deep emotion and optimistic message mesmerises the children in a special way. They seem to understand the story the song is telling before learning the lyrics or discussing its meaning within the class. Their little faces brighten up during the first half of the song and then wither towards the end of the song when "Martin sang no more..." Every teacher (K-2nd grade) I have shared this song with has had a similar experience with their students. I highly recommend this CD for this song alone. Greg & Steve are the best with young children's music!!!
