Free to Be You and Me

Free to Be You and Me originally released in 1972, continues its domination of the children- (or in this case, grandchildren-) of-hippies market with its latest reissue on Arista and Legacy Recordings under the Family Artist Series. The Cherished Children's Classic from the '70s, Free to Be You and Me is a unique collection of songs, poems and skits that emphasize the importance of staying true to oneself, respecting others, tolerance, and dispelling society's stereotypes. Marlo Thomas and friends (including Alan Alda, Harry Belafonte, Diana Ross, and Mel Brooks) offer a kind and fun way to deal with these issues.

From the title song to ex-NFL lineman Rosey Grier's quirky "It's All Right to Cry," about the importance of expressing emotions, to "Parents Are People" and the skit "Boy Meets Girl," about gender roles, each track on the album aids in continuing a message of understanding.

Dancing and moving to music provides children with the large movement they often crave while interacting with others in a group or duo dance experience. Singing along with the music offers them a fun way to engage in a type of conversation with others and also lets them practice imitating feelings and emotions.
