Up with People (UWP) is an education organization whose stated mission is to bridge cultural barriers and create global understanding through service and a musical show. The UWP headquarters is in Denver, Colorado, United States, with satellite offices in Belgium and Mexico.
The roots of Up with People can be found in the Sing Out shows of Moral Re-Armament (MRA) in the mid-1960s. Previously, throughout its existence, MRA had staged dramatic performances with music to put forth its message which consisted of its four tenets of "love, honesty, purity and unselfishness." With the Sing Out shows, the dramatic elements were removed. Later, Up with People was separated from MRA under the leadership of J. Blanton Belk in 1968.
In 1976, Up with People began to make frequent appearances at the Super Bowl; the group performed in four Super Bowl halftime shows between 1976 and 1986 (the most of any act in the game's history), and performed at the pre-game show of Super Bowl XXV in 1991. By the 1990s, the style of halftime performance they helped define during the 1970s and 1980s (which centered around themed, musical-style spectacles which aimed to "fill the field") were frequently lambasted as the worst halftime shows ever by critics for being too dated and not in touch with modern popular culture, leading organizers to shift towards popular musicians for future halftime shows.

Up with People - Up with People 1991 Original by Paul & Ralph Colwell 1968 It was early just this morning As I was walking down the street The postman and the painter and a jogger I did meet. There in ev'ry window and ev'ry single door I recognized people I'd never noticed before. Up! Up with people! You meet 'em wherever you go Up! Up with People! They're the best kind of folks we know. If more people were for people All people ev'rywhere There'd be a lot less people to worry about And a lot more people who care. A lot less people to worry about And a lot more people who care.

The Up With People theme song was written in 1965 by Paul and Ralph Colwell, and it has been performed countless times in Up With People shows throughout the world. I was deeply honored to travel with Up With People for two years as the drummer and band director (in casts 79A and 80D), and I always loved performing the song. It is a positive, uplifting, magnificent number about people caring for, helping, and loving others -- and that is what Up With People is all about: people caring for, helping, and loving others. Much love to my brothers and sisters from Up With People. I made this video for all of you. Enjoy! I love you all, Kevin Caruso Up With People Drummer, Band Director 79A, 80D

A performance of their title song by Up With People circa 1965. My parents told me that as a toddler, I wouldn’t take a nap unless they played this song on the turntable! It remains one of my favorites.

Yeah, there comes a booming sound
It used to come from underground
And now it emanates
From a kind of welfare state
Of the soul
Yeah, baby of the soul
And of the sweet, sweet soul
Let's be certain
Of the deliberate monologue
As sure as if it will fall
Across you, unto you
Will most certainly leave the doing
The doing undone
Come on undone
Come on undone
And we are doing
And we are screwing
Up our lives today, today
Up our lives today, today
Up our lives today, today
What's that we chanted
It's this we planted
C'mon progeny, progeny
C'mon progeny, progeny
C'mon progeny, progeny
