The human voice is considered the supreme instrument, capable of expressing the most refined sentiments of the heart as well as the highest spiritual aspirations. Early humans sang out their feelings long before they were able to speak their thoughts. There is no human culture, no matter how remote or isolated, that does not sing. Any activity that involves singing, including both performing and listening, is important to keep your heart healthy. The body produces 'feel good' hormones called endorphins that rush through your body when you sing or listen to singing.
