More than 50 musicians got together Wednesday night to record "Come Together Now," a song that will help raise money for Haitian relief efforts. Michael W. Smith wrote "Come Together Now" soon after seeing the devastation caused by a major earthquake in Haiti.
"What I am seeing out here, I'm pretty blown away," Smith said after looking out into the recording studio.
Within twelve days Smith had rounded up enough of his friends to record the song. The artists who answered the call came from all genres of music and are all stars in their own right.
"What I love is that everyone left their egos at the door. People came here with a mission, to help Haiti, to bring aide to the Haitian people," said Christian artist Michael Tait.
"To be here for Michael, I would do anything for Michael W.," said country superstar Wynonna Judd.
Artists included Michael W. Smith, dc Talk, Oak Ridge Boys, Wynnona Judd, Matt Maher, Nicole C. Mullen, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns, Point of Grace, Chris Sligh, Mandisa and more. This is the second such effort by Christian artists this month.
Michael W. Smith hopes to have "Come Together Now" ready for download in a couple of weeks. The money raised will go to the American Red Cross and Samaritan's Purse.
