Music has a way of documenting a period of time. In 1964, Sam Cook’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” marked a part of the Civil Rights movement (as one example) and “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar” by Helen Reddy ushered in the women’s rights movement in the 1970’s – as another example.

On the other side of that coin, Anita Bakers “I Apologize” expresses the heartfelt emotion of a person who is sorry for a wrong they did to a loved one. These two songs are examples of Gordon Chambers and his contribution to music – and there’s more! Gordon makes time to teach students of all backgrounds about the voice.
