For Once in My Life: Nancy

Clip: Season 12 Episode 12 | 3m 6s

Despite a difficult childhood, soprano Nancy leads a rich life, today.

Made up of 29 musicians and singers who all have severe mental and physical disabilities, the Spirit of Goodwill Band is a raucous home away from home where members are free to display their talent, humor, and tenacity. Every member of the Spirit of Goodwill band copes with incredible challenges and obstacles, but nothing holds them back when it's time to rock the house.
