ICE CREAM SONGS -- Great Children's Music on CD

ICE SCREAM, YOU SCREAM
WE ALL SCREAM
FOR ICE CREAM SONGS!


Several years ago, I bought a CD from a guy walking along Venice Beach. He was holding a boom box on his shoulder that was playing children's songs. The song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" was on and it had a fun Jamaican sound to it. The CD was only $10 so I had to buy it. My daughter was under a year-old at the time and loved the CD then as much as she loves it now. My son also enjoys listening and dancing to the CD. Many of the songs are well-known with a Reggae take. A few songs are original. I've given the CD's as great, unique gifts to family and friends.

Here's some info about the artist from his website http://icecreamsongs.com


Lionel Jean Baptiste is a native of Evanston, Illinois. The first of the Jean Baptiste family to be born on American soil, the rhythm of his Haitian roots can be felt in every note of his music. Lionel holds a B.A. degree from Lincoln University in PA, where he majored in business and minored in music performance. He currently works as a substitute teacher with L.A. Unified Schools and is perusing his music in LA. "Music has always been a big part of my family life and church experience. I studied piano, drums, and guitar while growing up. My father is a musician. I began my career in children's music by working at a childcare center in my hometown of Evanston. I was the after school teacher, but part of my duties during the day was to go to each room with my guitar and sing songs with the younger kids. I moved to Southern California in 2000, and 'Ice Cream Songs' was born."

Since its inception in 2000 Ice Cream Songs” has developed a loyal following throughout California and the nation-thanks to the launch of icecreamsongs.com. Due to huge demand, Lionel created several follow up CDs including “Multiplication Raps”, “Ice Cream Christmas CD”, and Reggae Church”.

In 2005, The Itsy Bitsy Reggae Spider was featured in film "“Two for the Money"” starring Al Pacino. “"Ice Cream Song"” was also added to Delta Airline's’ in-flight children'’s music station.
