Franciscan Sisters' October Vocation Song -- 'What Would You Do?' at the Franciscanized World
According to singer - songwriter James Lee Stanley, "What Would You Do" "…was inspired by the idea that protest songs only reach those who are already in agreement…I thought I needed to write a song that the opposition and perhaps effect what I considered to be positive change."
Stanley gently inquires "All of our lives we've been told paradise resides in the heavens above, what would you do if you suddenly knew it was here with the people you love?"
Revered in the music world as a renaissance man in his own right, James Lee Stanley was born in Philadelphia and has been recording and performing since he was fourteen. He has opened for such diverse acts as Bonnie Raitt, Robin Williams, Nicolette Larson and Bill Crosby. His most recent release is the well-received "Backstage at the Resurrection".
