I like this video for its lack of sensationalism and wealth of humanity.

More on health and singing:

“You can look at disease as a form of disharmony.
And there’s no organ system in the body that’s not affected
by sound and music and vibration.”
– Mitchell Gaynor

“Do you know that our soul is composed of harmony?”
– Leonardo daVinci

“Cause music’s been my therapy,
Taking the pain from all my anatomy …”
