Joey Niceforo, former original member of The Canadian Tenors and Destino, now solo artist, released Priceless in April 2018 which debuted at #3 on the iTunes Pop Charts. The album was recorded at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London, UK with an 86-piece orchestra and an impressive list of producers, mixers and arrangers that included Grammy Award winners Steve Sidwell (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), John Jones (Celine Dion), Steve Price (Adele and Sam Smith) and multi-JUNO Award winner Sam Reid (Glass Tiger). Three singles were released prior to the album; the ABBA classic “Winner Takes It All”, “It All Begins With Love” and “Note To God”, all building momentum to the album launch. Two accompanying videos were also released. One for “Winner Takes It All”, showing Niceforo performing with the orchestra at Abbey Road and the other for “Note To God” which recently won the Dropout Entertainment’s Canadian Independent Music Video – Pop Award. 2018 and early 2019 have proven to be an eventful and successful time for Niceforo.
During the Second Continental Congress, currently underway in Philadelphia, the motion to declare the colonies' independence from Great Britain, introduced by John Adams, a delegate from Massachusetts, is not debated, preferring to address more trivial matters. Benjamin Franklin, a delegate from Pennsylvania, strategically suggests that he have another delegate propose the resolution. The choice falls on the impetuous and extroverted Richard Henry Lee, who accepts and returns to Virginia to obtain authorization from the state legislature. Having overcome the first hurdle, Lee's new motion faces objections from John Dickinson, a delegate from Pennsylvania and leader of the conservative faction inclined to reconciliation with Great Britain, who manages to obtain a unanimous quorum given the importance of the independence motion. Adams, to gain time to seek greater consensus, requests a postponement for the drafting of a declaration of injustice, entrusted to a committee of five delegates, but in reality the drafting is entrusted almost entirely to Thomas Jefferson, delegate from Virginia.
