We Are Family

Seattle Men's Chorus electrified audiences in June, 1997 with We Are Family, a fun-filled musical trip back to the seventies. Classic softrock songs by Elton John and the Carpenters, a hilarious spoof of the Brady Bunch, a salute to the great disco divas, and all of the music and the spirit of the "Me" decade.

On this recording you will find more than 50 songs from the show, including such classics as I Believe In Music, Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, Stayin' Alive, Funkytown and Afternoon Delight.
