Thread Name: Good A Capella Chorus Songs
Subject: RE: Good A Capella Chorus Songs
From the Mudcat CDs, here are some choruses that fit in admirably:

In this Harvey Andrews song, instead of singing/teaching the whole song I usually sing the chorus with a lead in:

And my life would not have been complete, if it wasn't for the songs-Songs to make you dance and sing
Songs to make you sigh
Songs to make you laugh, or bring
A tear to your eye


Then there's Sandy Paton's:

This is a song for all the good people,
All the good people who've touched up my life
This is a song for all the good people,
People I'm thankin' my stars for tonight

Kendall Morse's recording of Rollin' Home to Old New England is a great group pleaser, with a rollicking chorus:

Rollin' home, rollin' home,
Rollin' home across the sea
Rollin' home to old New England
Rollin' home, dear land, to thee

And Rick Fielding's song is a wonderful one to teach when it's time for a new gospel song:

I'm gonna sing with the angels when my time comes around
This earth is just rehearsal for when I'm heaven bound
And I'll be well prepared to take my place with harmony and rhyme
And sing with the angels when it's time

Also from Rick, one of my favorite choruses:

Be well, be safe, be kind, be strong
For the times will test us sore
And to gladden our hearts, our bodies, our souls
Be here when we gather once more
Oh, be here when we gather once more
