Eight stars agree to join song for charity
LOS ANGELES: Michael Jackson's publicist says eight performers so far have agreed to join a song to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims. Raymone K Bain said artistes who will appear on Jackson's song, tentatively titled From the Bottom of My Heart, include
James Brown, Jay-Z, Mary J Blige, Missy Elliott, Lenny Kravitz, R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg and Ciara. But representatives for some of the artistes said it was premature to say their clients were committed to the charity single, which hopes to duplicate the 1984 worldwide hit We Are the World, which Jackson co-wrote to benefit African starvation victims.
Representatives for Snoop Dogg said he would take part.
But Jay-Z's publicist, Jana Fleishman, said the rapper had "been approached, but Jay told me directly he is not yet confirmed to be on that song".
Several other publicists said their clients were in talks and had yet to confirm.
Bain, however, insisted that Jackson had personally contacted all the artistes himself.
She said Jackson will record the song on 2 Seas Records, the label owned by Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Jackson has been a guest of Shaikh Abdulla for the past several weeks.
To confirm her account, Bain handed the phone to Shaikh Abdulla, who said that he and Jackson had talked to each performer personally.
"He made every single call himself," he said.
Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Jackson tried unsuccessfully to put together a benefit song called What More Can I Give.
For now, Bain said, the Katrina relief song is "a work in progress", with a time, date and place of recording yet to be scheduled.
