After more than 20 years on the stages all over the world (Europe, Japan, USA, South America) with the famous gospel band The Harlem Messengers, On November 8, 2014 a vision became reality for the core musicians of this famous group. Dr Eric Turner- Pastor of The Worship Center Church of Harlem, NY and Professor at New York University- made a mark in the Harlem community, pioneering the first of many benefit concerts aiding local churches in need of financial assistance and deciding that his music should have a deep link to its inner message and its community, becoming a mean of support, education and aid, together with a musical and entertaining experience. In 2015 this vision would become official under the new registered name “The Harlem Voices, featuring Dr Eric Turner (T.H.V)”.
