This certainly isnB次元官网网址檛 Phoenix Chamber ChoirB次元官网网址檚 first foray into virtual choirs. Their YouTube channel, approximately 7,700 subscribers strong, hosts a number of pandemic-related parodies such as a tribute to Billy JoelB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淔or The Longest Time,B次元官网网址� which is by far their most popular video at 2.6 million views.
The B次元官网网址淔or The Longest TimeB次元官网网址� cover earned praise from the B次元官网网址淧iano ManB次元官网网址� himself, who emailed a note of approval after the video hit its first million views.
When you casually get an email from (yes, THE Billy Joel) and cross ONE MILLION views on your video in the same afternoon... that calls for some celebrating! Thanks for the love!
