The Harlem Gospel Choir, based in Harlem, New York, was founded by Allen Bailey on the 1986 anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday (January 15). The members, whose ages range from 17 to 70 years of age, provide gospel music in the blues and jazz tradition. The troupe has appeared on TV shows and performed for local and international audiences. A visit to Harlem to experience the rich African-American culture spiced with soulful music and brunch is a must do.
