I think I wrote 1991 I meant 2001

@DanielleTornone Hi Danielle! Thank you for the nice comment. I am sorry that you did not get a chance to travel. I hope all is well, my friend. God bless you.

This was great! I was a pre-accept in 1991 when they 'closed for restructure' then I aged out :(

I miss Up With People. We could use their warm, feel-good music right now.

[KevinCarusoVideos]

@Layerboyz I agree, my friend. Up With People does indeed have powerful, inspirational "feel-good" music that embraces the soul. Thank you for the nice comment.

I like the 1968 version best!

[KevinCarusoVideos]

@MomMiriam1 Up With People has recorded their theme song many times through the years, and yes, the 1968 version is wonderful. Thank you for the comment, my friend.

is this like the Peace Corps only with music and dancing? Could never figure out this organization....

[KevinCarusoVideos]

@jakeelee904 Up With People is a nonprofit organization consisting of international students who travel throughout the world, stay with host families, perform, and conduct community service. So the program not only provides an outstanding education for the students, but also provides needed help to each community the students stay in. I traveled with Up With People for two years as a staff member, drummer, and band director, and I cherish all of my experiences with the organization.

@jakeelee904 You are welcome, my friend.

Is this a contemporary rendition?

[KevinCarusoVideos]

@maricarmen123 There have been many versions of the Up With People theme song since it was written in 1965, and this is indeed a contemporary version. Good question, my friend.

I live in Scotland and have travelled all over the USA (42 states so far) and have a thousand memories of my adventures. On my very first trip in 1984 I saw an Up With People show in Washington D.C. I can still remember it clearly and the theme song stuck in my head. Wonderful to hear it again. Thank you.

[KevinCarusoVideos]

@andytrex You are welcome, Andy. The Up With People theme song brings back wonderful memories for UWP alumni, host families, concertgoers, and countless others. I am glad you enjoyed it! And it is great to hear about your extensive travels in the U.S. Best wishes to you on your future adventures.
