Stars To Make "Tsunami-Aid" Single

 

Sir Cliff Richard and Boy George will be among the stars who are planning to record a single to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake/tsunami disaster in Asia.

The song will be called "Grief Never Grows Old" and has been described as a melancholy ballad. It was written by radio DJ Mike Read. Read wrote the song before tragedy struck on Boxing Day, but thought it too sad to release.

Sir Cliff Richard has already recorded his part for the "One World Project" as has Boy George. Ronan Keating may also take part and Robin and Barry Gibb, Jamie Cullum, Chris Rea and Olivia Newton-John are also being approached.

  If they want it to sell well  
 
They'll have to approach much newer stars than that. I can guarantee that 90% of the music buying market (teens) have no idea who most of the people on that list are.

  I hope they don't start...  
 
Doing this too often, Hurrah for raising money for the aid, but if these guys start doing this at every disaster, it'll stop making money, they need to watch this...

  Hope you're right...  
 
But if popular artist like *cringe* Britney Spears can top the charts year after year with a new load of redundant musical crap, I have no doubt that the public probably doesn't let the wear-down of music get to them.

Heh. Course, one could argue that's just way off topic.

Maybe.

  Simpsons called this one...  
 
Didn't Krusty do this for Timmy o'Toole, who was trapped down the well in springfield?

WE'RE SENDING OUR LOVE DOWN THE WELL
DOWN THAT WELL!!!

I hate celebrities. Fly over there and clean something up instead of lounging around in a recording studio. Hypocrites.
