They’re students at the East Harlem Performing Arts School. Kool and The Gang contributed one thousand dollars to support their school’s special program of education. And the Ampex Golden Reel Award made it possible. It’s more than just another award. It’s a thousand dollars to a charity named by artists receiving the honor. For Kool and The Gang, Celebrate was the album. House of Music was the recording studio, and these kids were the winners. So far over a quarter of a million dollars in Golden Reel contributions have gone to designated charities. For children’s diseases. The arts. Environmental associations. The needy. Our warmest congratulations to Kool and The Gang, House of Music and to all of the other fine recording professionals who’ve earned the Golden Reel Award.
