Known and revered the world over, William Levi Dawson was one of the greatest contributors to the art of American choral music. Deeply rooted in the flowering era of the American a cappella choir and African-American folk traditions, William Dawson fashioned the most widely performed selection of such original American choral music, the Tuskegee Choir Series, now published by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company. I must admit my bias as a former member of the Tuskegee University Choir circa 1980s under the direction of Roy E. Hicks, yet this remastered CD is a lifeline for me. I love the Dawson sound that every subsequent choir has attempted to embody.

Three years after the school’s founding, the Tuskegee Institute Singers was formed but the by the founder of the college, Booker T Washington.

This performance sparked further prestigious performances such as performing for President Hoover at the White House and sang on ABC, CBS, and NBC radio networks in the years to follow.
