Description:

This very special CD contains a unique interpretation of the Elton John classic in honor of Pre as performed by ChildrenSong of New Jersey. ChildrenSong is a choral music education and performance program based in Haddonfield, New Jersey. The Concert Choir devoted much of the summer of 2007 to rehearsals and the recording of the specially arranged song. The young singers are proud that their efforts will go towards helping their peers in Oregon. The CD also contains the narration of the first chapter of the book; Steve Prefontaine Rocketman as read by Pre’s life long friend, Jim Seyler. The combination of children's voices joyfully raised in song and the heartfelt, honest rendition of the chapter by Mr. Seyler make this CD a must for every Pre fan. *All royalties for the CD and book will go to a fund for arts and physical education programs to benefit Pre’s former elementary school, Blossom Gulch in Coos Bay, Oregon.
