Flash mob surprises Chick-fil-A with a cappella gospel song
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A group of a cappella singers at a Chick-fil-A in Nashville surprised onlookers by breaking out in song last Saturday, and footage of the uplifting moment is now going viral on Facebook.
Chris Armstead, of Atlanta, told Fox 5 that the singers came from all over the world, as they were all attending a religious conference in the area when they decided to bring their talents over to the nearby restaurant.

Soon enough, nearly everyone in the restaurant was on their feet, either singing, clapping along, or just watching the scene unfold. And at the end of the song — a harmony-packed rendition of Hezekiah Walker's "Every Praise” — the room fills with applause.

Armstead, an employee at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, said the reaction is enough to inspire a possible encore in his hometown.
