Ben Tankard is a busy man these days. When he’s not taping the second season of his hit reality show, he’s recording inspirational music.
The Gospel Jazz pioneer had this to say about uniting with Kirk Whalum on his new single “Reach Out And Touch”:
In preparation for MLK Day and Black History Month I want to do my part in spreading hope and love! This is my way of encouraging everyone to simply ” Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand”. In doing so, I believe we can accomplish the lyrics of this song and ,“Make This world a Better Place…”.
I have gathered some images that will make us pray, laugh, and cry as we reflect historic moments in our distant and most recent past. Music is a universal language so prayerfully my instrumental backdrop of this classic song along with some help from my melodic brother, Kirk Whalum on sax, will strike a chord in the hearts of Americans and we can love and respect each other despite our differences.
