Показать описание

UPDATE: On July 1, 2021, this recording of "Fighter" was named the WINNER of the 2021 CPMA Cover to Cover contest from a field of 24 nominees!

Unforgettable Big Band covers a selection written by York, Pennsylvania area singer/songwriter Corina Aucker for entry in the 2021 Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame's CPMA awards in "Cover to Cover" competition. Unforgettable vocalists Christy Weist and James Scofield give voice to the song, performed in a power pop ballad style in this arrangement for Unforgettable by assistant director Lindy Mack.
The powerful lyrics for "Fighter" are sung from the perspective of a childhood cancer victim, who progresses from fearful desparation to confident determination to become the fighter required to overcome the disease.
Proceeds from the streaming and distribution of this release will be donated to the Four Diamonds Foundation which provides resources and support to the families of childhood cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Children's Hospital.
