In this powerful episode of The Backseat Lounge, we take a deep dive into the musical roots and artistic legacy of Bethune-Cookman College’s Concert Chorale (now Bethune-Cookman University), as told by none other than Dr. Robert Williams, Faculty Emeritus of Music and Director of the Chorale from 1974 to 1976.

Through this rare and insightful conversation, Dr. Williams walks us through the stylistic soul of the Chorale—centered on a cappella purity, sacred spirituals, and the classical grace of bel canto. But the episode truly comes to life when we explore the creative contrasts brought by the legendary Dr. Rebecca Walker Steele.

Known for her visionary and theatrically-charged performances, Dr. Steele reimagined what a concert experience could be. As Dr. Williams shares, her programs were “heavily orchestrated,” complete with choreography, dramatic elements, and expressive musical storytelling that turned sacred music into something transcendent.

Whether you’re a music historian, classical muse, gospel enthusiast, or former choir member, this snippet episode offers an unfiltered glimpse into the heart of a musical era that was bold, spiritual, and uniquely Steele.
