Harlem’s Mt. Olivet Baptist Church soared today as the NYC Gospel Tour drew 1,000. Over 10 choirs—50 voices each—sang ‘Oh Happy Day’; X hit 7,000 clips. A Bronx soprano’s solo—$500 donated—moved 200 to tears. Tickets at $25 sold out; 66°F sun warmed. NYC’s spirit—Harlem’s song lifts.
Guide Rosa Diaz, 55, led 5 stops—churches packed. A local choir’s new hymn—written by a teen—drew cheers; 300 swayed. Free hymnals—400 grabbed—sparked sing-alongs. New mics—clear vocals—lifted praise. Mt. Olivet’s vibe—NYC’s soul shines.
It’s not perfect—buses late; 15-minute waits. Some seats tight—knees bumped. Still, 10 choirs, 1K voices—tour’s a hit. Post-event, 125th Street buzzed—gospel talk flowed. Weekly run—NYC sings.
Diaz’s 55—soul guide? Soprano’s 30—voice rises. Harlem sang; NYC glowed. Gospel Tour—praise on.
