The Choir’s Performance Generates
The Most Organic Views Ever (1.4+ Million Views)
on GMA Anchor Robin Roberts’ Social Media Platform
COLUMBIA, SC (Wednesday, April 4, 2018) — Coming off winning first place and $2,000 at the Lift Every Voice Choir Competition in Lake City, South Carolina, the Award-winning Francis Marion University YGB Gospel Choir led by choir director Jeffrey Lampkin, made a stop at Good Morning America in New York City during their “My Mind Is Made Up” Spring tour March 16-20. A portion of the choir went to GMA and Lampkin was recognized by producers for his participation on American Idol.
Lampkin and a portion of his choir were asked to sing during GMA’s commercial break. After the show ended, the choir received the chance of a lifetime to sing for journalist and GMA anchor Robin Roberts and the other anchors and producers of GMA. The choir performed gospel legend John P. Kee’s “My Mind Is Made Up,” to an overwhelming response from both the crowd and Roberts herself, who decided to post the video on her Facebook page, generating over 1 million organic views in 5 days. To date, reaching 1.4+ million views, the viral video is the most watched video ever posted by Roberts on any of her social media platforms.
“#AfterGMA This is all the #MondayMotivation you’ll need! We were fortunate to have the Francis Marion University YGB choir in our audience this morn…after Good Morning America they took us all to church!,” states Robin Roberts.

Written by Lampkin and produced by producer/engineer Roosevelt McLamore (Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Case), “AnyDay Now” is set to impact gospel radio this summer and all digital retailers.
