Song for Pain: a Gospel Offering for Haiti

Mary mary

Thanks for the first-hand account of unfolding tragedy, Jason.  It's good to have you back.

I've spent the weekend in Nashville for the 2010 Stellar Awards, as gospel celebrated their big night.

Lots of inspirational, empathetic speeches and prayers as the show began and throughout the evening for the victims of the tragedy unfolding in Haiti.  Underpinning the words, one of the evening's presenters, Kirk Franklin  put the call out earlier last week to singers assembling for the awards, to join him in recording a relief record.

Past midnight on Friday, the night before the Stellars, I packed into an overflowing, nondescript studio off Music Row, while Kirk directed a classic, wailing Mary Mary overlay.  I didn't hear the whole song, but did get a preview of some of the chorus / backup work, which was really uplifting.  I bailed just before CeCe Winans came to contribute, but they went well past 2:00 that morning.

I don't have many details, but I know the working title is "Song for Pain,"  it's in post-production and Kirk and others are working all hours to get their contribution out soon.  I will post more about the project and how they plan to funnel contributions, when I get firm details.  – Hugo Munday

I'm glad someone finally came out and proved these things to be bad. I'm glad some parents enjoyed using them and I'm for using the TV, in fact I do so I can get things done, but I limit it and I know of some parents that really overdid it. One of my cousins had her child watching these things 5-6 hours a day because she could get things done and felt he'd get smarter for it, that is really just sad.
