It's one of the orginal core songs of Sing-Out and Up With People.
"Freedom Isn't Free" was written by Paul Colwell of the famous Colwell Brothers of the Sing-Out 65/66 cast. It was a song we performed from Day One in Sing-Out South and when I talk with former cast members today, "Freedom Isn't Free" is one of those tunes they say they have sung to their children over the years, and which many remark how appropriate the lyrics continue to be even more than 45 years after it was written.
Here's Paul Colwell and Up With People performing "Freedom Isn't Free" from the album UP WITH PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD. This version has a slightly different arrangment from the original performance of this song which you may remember and which we did in Sing-Out South....
We are posting these Up With People songs every day to get us all in the mood and those brain cells stimulated to be ready for the Sing-Out South 45th Reunion the weekend of March 25-26 at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville.
If you would like more information about attending or there is an UP WITH PEOPLE song you'd like to hear, please contact me.
Ferrdom ~~ Isn't Free !!
