Octogenarian Chorus Rocks the House With Remakes of Classic Rock Tunes

Imagine an elderly choral group with singers aged 73-100. Now imagine that group belting out songs by the Rolling Stones, The Clash or Talking Heads: Meet The American Young @ Heart Chorus.

Imagine an elderly choral group of singers aged 73-100.

Now imagine that group belting out songs by the Rolling Stones, The Clash or Talking Heads. Meet The American Young @ Heart Chorus.

It was started in 1982 by seniors in a home for the aged in Northampton, Massachusetts, and included elders who'd lived through both World Wars.

See all their videos at YouTube, and visit their website: The American Young @ Heart Chorus.
