SIMON ON “SONGS FOR LIFE” ALBUM:
NEW MIX OF “UNDER AFRICAN SKIES”
Created to raise funds for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa, Songs for Life is an album of songs with uplifting messages performed by prominent recording artists who have dedicated their time and talents to this effort. Some of the participating artists have recorded new tracks inspired by the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa while others have chosen previously recorded tracks that fit within the theme of unity, hope and brotherhood. Proceeds from the sale of the CD go to the Royal Initiative to Combat AIDS (RICA), a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa, where thousands of people are dying of the disease every day.
With songs both new and old from some of the world’s best-known recording artists, Songs for Life promises to be an amazing listening experience created to bring attention – and critical funding – to a life-and-death cause in Africa.
Distributed by EMI-Capitol Records, coordinated by The Marshall Firm and promoted internationally by JAM Entertainment and Music Group, Songs for Life was produced under the guidance of the legendary Phil Ramone, who over the last three decades has produced some of the world’s most successful recording artists, including Chicago, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Elton John, Liza Minelli, Paul Simon, Ringo Starr, Barbra Streisand and U2, to name just a few.
