2:03Now PlayingFor hitmakers Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly, songwriting can be a “lifesaving tool” during times of distress. Now, with the music industry facing an unsteady future due to the pandemic, and with no sign that concerts and touring will return to full capacity, both Harmony and Kelly, who also perform as Louis York, wonder if there’ll be enough support for the arts, and songwriting in particular, to creatively document such a crucial moment in global history. There needs to be more talk about songwriters and musicians in the creative community, not just because it's cool and we look good and it makes money, but because it's actually a lifesaving tool for us right now,” Kelly told the PBS NewsHour.
