MENDHAM, N.J., April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ 'I was shocked to read about how many people have criticized Harriet Tubman and her son's claims over how many slaves were actually saved by Mrs. Tubman,' said author Michael Jay Nusbaum. 'I was so happy to learn that Mrs. Tubman had actually saved over 700 slaves in one single raid into Confederate territory. This one instance alone proved that the claims made by Mrs. Tubman and her son were true. Thus, I felt the need to tell the story and put to rest any questions about this amazing woman- Mrs. Tubman.'

While Rob and I were talking, we started chatting about the year in theatre and in life and BroadwayWorld.com's 10th Year in business and how it all began with his Dad taking him to see THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and how it led him down the path of becoming a fan of Michael Crawford. There's a story in there, that you may or may not know, but, it's a pretty safe bet that if that 'theatrical moment' hadn't occurred, this website might not be in existence. So ... today, I offer you MICHAEL CRAWFORD singing one of the most beloved traditional and holy songs of the season.
