🎶✨ Honoring Voices, Preserving Stories ✨🎙️

Over the past several months, we’ve been proud to share Felicia’s Voice, a special weekly feature that has become a meaningful extension of the SPGAS mission.

Each Sunday on Sunday Legends Brunch with Bob Merrill, we honor pioneering women in journalism and broadcasting, pairing their stories with the timeless music of the Great American Songbook.

Created in memory of Felicia Taylor, this tribute reminds us that preserving our cultural legacy isn’t just about the music: it’s about the voices, the stories, and the people who shaped them.

We’re grateful to everyone who has taken a moment to listen, reflect, and be inspired. ❤️
