This A Capella-Beatbox Collaboration Is MLK's Dream Personified

If Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream had to be expressed in a single song, the unique musical collaboration below would surely be it.

Using only their voices, The Maccabeats, a Jewish singing group, and Naturally 7, a beatboxing "voice play" orchestra, honored Dr. King and his legacy with a performance of James Taylor's "Shed A Little Light" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

"Our newest video celebrates a different kind of holiday than usual, but one more important now than ever," The Maccabeats wrote on their Facebook page Monday.

The collaboration was so impressive, singer-songwriter James Taylor called it "one of the best covers of 'Shed A Little Light' I've ever heard."

By combining incredible vocals and two distinct singing styles with one inspiring message, this performance proves that Dr. King's dream is still very much alive.
