Kirk Franklin Gathers Gospel Community to Record a Relief Song for Haiti

As gospel music artists gathered in Nashville to celebrate at the 25th Stellar Awards, they also came together for a higher purpose. With the recent tragic earthquake in Haiti, Kirk Franklin assembled gospel artists to lend their voices to “Are You Listening,” a song they all hope will inspire those devastated as well as raise much needed funds for Haiti.

The response was overwhelming for what Franklin had dubbed as the gospel community's answer to "We Are the World" as more than 150 participants swiftly joined including BeBe & CeCe Winans, Natalie Grant, Mary Mary, Shirley Caesar, Jeremy Camp, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Sapp, Marvin Winans and Kiki Sheard.

All proceeds from the record will be donated to charities involved in relief efforts.
