There are times a performance can move you to tears, and that’s what happened for many watching America’s Got Talent Tuesday night (June 20) when The Freedom Singers took the stage to audition for the show. The collective, made up of members of the Los Angeles skid row community who have come together through the Los Angeles Community Action Network, transformed the Red Hot Chili Peppers classic “Under the Bridge” into an emotional gospel performance that left many in the viewing audience moved.

“We’re located not far from here in a community called Skid Row,” revealed one of the male members of the group, noting, “Skid Row is in downtown Los Angeles where five people per day die in the streets, houseless people. So for us, freedom singing brings us closer together. It’s that medium that we’ve always used to come together as America.”
