While the star-studded cast of "Valentine's Day" was helping the
romance flick snag the box office's No. 1 spot with its $52.4 million
debut, another star-studded crew released its highly anticipated
project over the same weekend but with a different aim.
Two weeks after Christian music star Michael W. Smith gathered a who's-who list from the Christian and Country music communities to record "Come Together Now," the song was released on iTunes and Amazon for purchase along with the mission to support quake-devastated Haiti by having all proceeds from the song's sales benefit relief efforts there.
In total, over 100 artists were brought on board for the project, including Aaron Shust, Brandon Heath, Chris Sligh, Everlife, Francesca Battistelli, The Katinas, Mandisa, Mark Hall, Matthew West, Melinda Doolittle, Natalie Grant, Nicole C. Mullen, Phil Stacey, Point of Grace, PureNRG, Rachael Lampa, Steven Curtis Chapman, and TobyMac.
The song - penned by Smith, David Mullen and Cindy Morgan - was written to remind people of the need to help those in Haiti following last month's 7.0-magnitude earthquake.
