Great Music - Reviewed on 2007-07-14

I am a product of the 1970's. I graduated HS in '79 and my musical tastes reflect that era. That said, I got the CD b/c Harry Connick, Jr was on it.

Had someone told me I'd be listening to and enjoying P Diddy, R Kelly, and Kanye West I'd have not believed them.

My fave track has to be "What Would Jesus Do" by the, unknown by me, Chris Thomas King. He, apparently, wrote this after evacuating from the city and it really moved me. Made me think esp. these lines:
Tell me America what would Jesus do?
Tell me what would Jesus do
If he had to walk a mile in my shoes?

Would he steal the food to feed the hungry and the poor?
If a child needed shelter, would he break down a door?

Would he take a moment's rest
would he have a moment's peace
with all His children still in misery?

I am surprised nobody mentioned Chris or his song

This CD certainly led me to some artists heretofore unknown to me & that was worth the price of the CD for sure

Definitely worth the donation - Reviewed on 2006-08-08

The track by Norah Jones and Wyclef Jean, alone, is worth the purchase price. I am surprised no one else has commented on it. To me, this juxtaposition of voices and styles is truly powerful and moving. Norah Jones' contribution is a soft, sad, lamentation -- it ebbs and flows like the waters of the Mississippi. Wyclef Jean then punctuates the sad lullaby with his poignant rap -- "I hear the engine on the boat, but y'all cant see me waving the flag, somebody please wave the flag!" The overall effect of this juxtaposition is truly powerful and it makes me cry for New Orleans every time I hear it. It brings images of people on roofs waving flags, rescue workers saving lost and frightened dogs in the flood waters, big X's on houses destroyed and deserted. Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville, Harry Conick Jr, and Van Morrison also make excellent contributions. While I am not a fan of about 30% of the songs, I would never consider this $15 a waste of money.

I love patti I have everything by her from cd's to dvd's to watching her show on tv one! I only bought the cd because she was on it. She sounded great and so did all the other artists but kelly price kept singing over patti and i hated that! She just needed to shut up she sounded awfull. They should have let patti sing more though other than that it was great! BUY IT NOW!

This is a great example what a benefit/relief effort is all about; people from all loctions focused on one goal. Many genres of musical talent helping one key national crisis. A personal friend and favorite in the Arizona Music Scene is the great Jerry Lawson who teams with his new a capella venture, "Talk Of The Town" and the magnificent Rod Stewart on Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready".

great title song and so much more - Reviewed on 2006-02-24

Every cut on this cd is wonderful. Our entire family loves it, and we have jazz/pop/hip hop/rap fans! I bought it for one song and was shocked to see so many great songs...it is well worth the money. I had never heard a few of the artists, but I am now a loyal fan. The songs with huge choirs of singing stars were such a bonus. Sadly, I couldn't find any of the words for the songs on any lyric site on the Internet or in the CD. It would be nice to have those lyrics...that's my only criticism. Great music!
