“Smile”
Yvette Green
Available on iTunes (2011)
Yvette DeLane Green is a coloratura soprano from Chicago’s historic Fellowship M.B. Church, founded in 1950 by civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Clay Evans.
In addition to her work at the ‘Ship, Yvette has recorded with a number of choirs, including Chicago Mass Choir and the AARC Mass Choir, and has performed in Europe. Back in the day, she sang for rallies to re-elect Chicago’s late Mayor Harold Washington.
As a soloist, Yvette contributes “Smile,” a sweet, uncomplicated song – part sung, part spoken –geared to a general audience but in its fresh-faced wholesomeness seems especially well suited to young people struggling with personal frustrations and despair.
