Earlier in the day, Tasha Cobbs LeonardGrammy, Billboard Music, Stellar and Dove Award-winning musician and songwriter, appeared on Good Morning America with co-anchor Robin Roberts, “GMA3″ co-anchor TJ Holmes and senior meteorologist Rob Marciano for a special tribute live from Louisiana – sharing stories of resilience and what it means to be “America Strong.” Tasha was tapped by GMA to surprise a man named Sam Mamou, a special education teacher and father of five who volunteers at his church, leading the distribution of food and supplies for the church’s hurricane relief efforts. His own home was recently damaged by Hurricane Ida, but he is working to ensure the community gets back on its feet.
As part of the tribute, Tasha performed her latest original single “Gotta Believe,” an anthem about finding strength in times of hesitation and uncertainty – very fitting for the occasion.
Tasha Cobbs Leonard originally recorded “Gotta Believe” as part of NPR Morning Edition’s Song Project, a series launched during lockdown to give artists an outlet to write and perform an original song to reflect the times. In an interview about the song’s origins, Tasha discusses some of her personal struggles, including losing family and friends to the COVID pandemic.
