    (April 23, 2020) For two decades Kirk Franklin has been known for a special gift of lifting up people facing troubled times. And in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, he has done it again.

    Bringing together an all-star cast of friends -- including Kelly Price, Fantasia, Jonathan McReynolds, Tyrese, Le’Andria Johnson, and more – helped to lead off the BET special, “Saving Our Selves: BET COVID-19 Relief Effort” with an inspiring version of “I Smile,” performed remotely by all participants.

    Beautifully edited, the song’s title says it all. In the middle of the storm, this will make you smile. Thank you for this performance!
