100% of the proceeds from purchases of "All Night, All Day" go to Dr. Ysaye Barnwell.
Peter Amidon first this Otis Leon-McCoy (1897-1995) spiritual from one of Larry Gordon's Village Harmony ensembles and tracked it down to Dr. Ysaye Barnwell's Singing in the African American Tradition Volume 2. Peter transcribed Dr. Barnwell's arrangement with her help and got permission from her to include it in this choral download library store. It is sung here by West Willow (Zara Bode soloist, Hannah North, Emma Schneider, Anna Patton, Fred Breunig, Arthur Davis, Stefan Amidon and Guillaume Sparrow-Pepin). This is a great song for hospice singing and funerals.
