you said WHO is a member of the mo-tab?

You know you've all seen him during conference- the camera always seems to linger upon his beautifully shiny head a disproportionately high number of times- yes, I mean the token black man of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. You know who I mean. And you know you've always wondered what his story was. But who would have guessed that Alex Boye is actually an early 90s British hip-hop-boy-band hearthrob?

It's true. And if you're as intrigued as I was, you should read this article on ksl.com or his bio here.

That is so funny. I think I might have met this guy, or someone that looks just like him in the grocery store this morning. He had a great British accent.

Wow, I have to admit I don't think I have seen him before....I must be going to the bathroom or getting snacks too often during the songs. But now I know and knowing is half the battle.

Token Black? Such cynicism!

He calls himself the token black man of UTAH. So I think I'm ok in reference to the Mo-tab.
