One of the most prolific songwriters of our time, Karen Sokolof Javitch writes 13 new songs that we can't get out of our heads.

The title song, HIS NAME WAS FREEDOM, was written after the September 11th attacks and is closest to her heart.

"My way of dealing with that tragedy was to write a song about it.

I felt that freedom was at the core of what the terrorists want to take away from us - so that's why I wrote a story about 'freedom.' It is important to me not to make money off of this song, which is why a portion of these cd sales will be donated to the September 11th fund." Her group, KAREN AND FRIENDS consists of the lead singer, Cory Sanchez, whose voice has mesmerized many a woman, and three women singers, of which Karen is one.

The other two singers are Lisa Lind, who played the title role in Karen's musical, PRINCESS DIANA, THE MUSICAL, and Krissy Cole, who also sings with Mannheim Steamroller band conductor Chuck Penington, who also arranges all of Karen's music.
