GEOFFREY GOLDEN,
a junior economics major
from Cleveland, Ohio, sang
his way to a recording con
tract when he was picked
the winner of BET’s season-
long, gospel singing show,
“Sunday Best.”
Golden, who has been a
member of the Morehouse
College Glee Club, credits
working with Glee Club
director David Morrow 80 as one of the main reasons he
was successful in his second try on the show.
He said the love he received from the Morehouse com
munity each week made competing much easier.
“The support has been incredible,” he said. “Morehouse
brothers, alumni, current students, AUC family coming
up to me, saying how proud they were and telling me that
I made Morehouse proud, no matter the outcome. They
were sending messages saying that they were praying for
me and voting for me. It was seen in the outcome. And 1
am eternally grateful.” ■
