Brian Stokes Mitchell was recovering from coronavirus when he started going to his window to clap at 7 p.m. like many New Yorkers.
Then Stokes decided to sing for them too.
He says he thought it would be a one night event, but was pleasantly surprised the next night when a crowd started to gather outside his Upper West Side apartment, happy to have a free show.
"I guess word started getting around because now there's quite a crowd assembled out there," Stokes said.
