In a small YMCA in Harlem, more than 30 years ago, Joseph and Gail Anderson performed their first concert together. The married couple and musical duo have been known as the Healing Force ever since and have garnered a national following. “A friend of ours suggested that the Healing Force would be a good name for us,”
Gail Anderson said. “They said our music had a healing quality to it. We used it and it stuck.” The Andersons moved from New York to Winston-Salem in 1976 where they continued to sing and play drums, adding four children along the way, all of whom have been members of the group at some point. Today, Healing Force includes the Andersons and their grown son and daughter, Sonji Gardner and Karim Anderson, making the performance a family affair. Since going full time in 1990, the group mainly performs at schools, reinforcing positive behaviors for children.
