Happy Birthday to the Chukwu Octuplets on Good Morning America

The Chukwu Octuplets were born in Houston, TX, in December 1998. One died a week after birth. The remaining seven appeared on Good Morning America shortly afterward. They were invited back to the show to celebrate their first birthday, and Mark was invited to perform “Happy Birthday” on the piano for them.
