Touched by the Haiti earthquake tragedy, Kirk Franklin assembled over 150 gospel artists to record a song called "Are You Listening: A Love Song for Haiti" to raise funds for those in Haiti. Some of the artists include Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Jeremy Camp, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Fred Hammond, J Moss, Marvin Sapp, Karen Clark Sheard, Kiera "KiKi" Sheard, Shirley Caesar, Dorinda Clark Cole, Natalie Grant, Tamela & David Mann, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Smokie Norful, Marvin Winans, Nicole C. Mullen and Micah Stampley among others. How did this come about? Kirk sent emails and texts to artists to record what he dubbed as the gospel community's answer to "We Are the World." Kirk then contacted Don Jackson, executive producer of The Stellar Awards, to request that GMC (Gospel Music Channel) send cameras and crews to capture the historic recording event (most artists were in town for the awards). GMC agreed and did the official music video below. The song is now available on verityrecords.com and will be on iTunes after Jan 30.
