In a renewed effort to focus public attention and funding of creative outlets for youth in the inner-city, PaulKorda.com releases a Holiday Greeting download of the artwork and MP3 of "Beyond the Darkness" by Paul Korda and the 32ndSt/USC Choir together with the music video that was filmed at A&M's Studio A, the site of the Michael Jackson record "We are the World", as well as locations in East Los Angeles.
The holiday Greeting is available on a "pay what you can afford" donation basis through PayPal. Due to the copy and paste format, the recent problems of E-Card tracking and viruses are avoided, as the artwork and MP3 can be copy and pasted into a regular email and can be used multiple times, saving the consumer the costs of multiple greeting cards, while aiding a worthy cause.
The download will aid the Los Angeles School Districts Magnet School Program for the Performing Arts.

"BEYOND THE DARKNESS":Paul Korda & the 32nd St/USC Choir Recorded at A&M Studio A Hollywood, where "We are the World" was recorded, and on location in East Los Angeles, the music video was born out of Paul Korda teaching youngsters at the community centers of East Los Angeles, to outlet their frustrations through improvisational music creation. Seeing the benefits to the kids, brought about by this spontaneous creation, he then went on to write "Beyond the Darkness, with the intent of gaining financial resources for this form of education, and with the help of many, made this video and turned the song into a musical Holiday greetings card which can be downloaded for the 2007 Holiday Season, proceeds that will contribute to the Magnet School Program for the Performing Arts There's little doubt that creativity can help steer our Earth back from the edge of destruction and help children to retain their innocence and build their character, avoiding the pitfalls of urban destructive behavior, especially that of abusive parents. So support creativity by sending a Holiday email of the download and the artwork as your way of saying Happy Holiday to your family and friends.
