Tony Award winner (Pippin) and all around incredible spirit, Ben Vereen, has lived an incredible life so far and sat down with Mo Rocca on CBS Sunday Morning this past weekend to talk about it. What is incredible about Mr. Vereen is his truly supernatural strength rooted deeply in joy; joy for life, joy for art, and joy in what the next chapter will bring.

Through it all, we see a man filled with passion and a soul that has been through more than most can imagine, but still has a fire that nothing can destroy.
