Jay Althouse : I Got a Name

We love the lyrics on this one; they remind us we're all special, and unique. The sentiment of this 70s pop hit is always timely, and the song has been used in several movies, including The Last American Hero and most recently in Invincible. Simple choral writing, simple accompaniment. Ideal for concerts year round, especially moving-up and graduation.

Arranger: Jay Althouse | Composers: Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel
