In The News: Watch Mary Mary Record For “We Are The World” Anniversary

by EJ on Feb.03, 2010, under Music

On Monday, some of the biggest names in the music industry were invited to re-record the global hit song “We Are The World,” to assist with relief efforts in Haiti and to commemorate the tune’s 25th anniversary.

An 81-member choir– comprised of The Jonas Brothers, Brandy, Jennifer Hudson, Kanye West, Celine Dion, Wyclef, Usher, Nancy Wilson, Jamie Foxx, Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, Faith Evans, Pink and many others– gathered to record at Henson Studios in Los Angeles.  Included among them– gospel’s favorite sister duo, Mary Mary.

Lemme tell you… I half-way expected for them to get an Oscar nomination yesterday because Erica & Tina Campbell are, by God’s grace, UNSTOPPABLE.  Proud of you, ladies!  Thanks for representing Christ and the gospel community.

Peep a behind-the-scenes video right HERE:

NBC is expected to premiere the video for the song, “We Are The World - 25 For Haiti” in 3D on Friday, February 12th, during its coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It should be available for purchase after that and, of course, all proceeds will go to benefit Haiti.

Whatd’ya think???
