LOS ANGELES — The energy was electric Monday night (February 1) at Henson Studios as more than 80 of music’s biggest stars gathered for a charity remake of “We Are the World” in support of Haitian earthquake relief.
“I feel like a kid in a candy store,” Wyclef Jean said, speaking to the press about the idea of remaking such an iconic song, which is getting production help from RedOne and Will.I.Am. “What’s bigger than a contribution is that you lend your voice,” the Haitian native said earlier in the day to his peers while trying to inspire them during the session, which began around 3 p.m. and was expected to last well into the night.
Among the voices in the 81-member choir were Pink, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nick Jonas, LL Cool J, Robin Thicke, Celine Dion, Akon, Rob Thomas, Wyclef, Jeff Bridges, Vince Vaughn, Barbra Streisand, Jordin Sparks, Good Charlotte’s Madden brothers, Tony Bennett, Josh Groban, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Keri Hilson, Jamie Foxx, Tyrese, Katharine McPhee, Sean Garrett, Will.I.Am, Carlos Santana, Melanie Fiona, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Jason Mraz, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Nicole Scherzinger, Nicole Richie, Usher, Julianne Hough, Raphael Saadiq, Zac Brown, India.Arie, “American Idol” judge Randy Jackson, Musiq Soulchild, Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson, Fonzworth Bentley, Kid Cudi, Iyaz, Bizzy Bone, Nipsey Hussle, the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, Trey Songz, Faith Evans, Mya and Gladys Knight. (At press time, the full list of participants was not yet available.)
Kanye, wearing a red jacket with sparkling gold crisscross accents, stood center in the front row, between Wyclef and Hudson.
Among the soloists whose sessions were screened for journalists at press time were Bieber, Dion and Groban. Weezy also came out and humbly noted that he recorded the solo originally sung by Bob Dylan.
The inspirational lyrics were laid down over a track that had a more modern Southern hip-hop bounce to it. The recording session took place almost 25 years to the day since the original song for African famine relief was recorded.
“The experience was out of this world,” said Bieber, who sang Lionel Richie’s original opening line. The video for the song, which is being shot in 3-D, will debut February 12. (TDHS: “We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” will premiere this month during coverage of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, according to a release from promoter AEG Live.)

USATODAY: Despite a total cast turnover, Nancy Wilson of Heart saw a strong parallel to the 1985 lineup. ”I just remember thinking, ‘What an odd collection of unlikely people that somehow managed to be cool together anyway,’ ” she said. “That’s how it felt tonight.” USATODAY: “Quincy Jones was just beaming like the sun,” Heart’s Nancy Wilson said, “and the room got hotter.”

Press release:
Return to British Columbia where it all began with concerts in Victoria & Vancouver
Tickets on sale Monday, February 8 AT 10AM
CALGARY, Feb. 5 /CNW/ – Concerts North Ltd. is pleased to bring legendary rockers HEART to Victoria, March 8 at the Save On Foods Memorial Centre and in Vancouver, March 9 at the Orpheum. Tickets for both performances go on-saleMonday, February 8 at 10 AM.
Ann Wilson and her younger sister, Nancy first showed the world that women can rock when their band HEART stormed the charts in the ’70s with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” “Even It Up,” and “Kick It Out”. They continued topping the charts through the ’80s and ’90s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “What About Love,” “If Looks Could Kill,” and “Never”.
HEART started their career in British Columbia, where the group’s first record “Dreamboat Annie” was written, recorded and first released in Canada on Mushroom Records in 1976. Since then, HEART has sold more than 30 million records, have garnered 21 top 40 hits, sold out arenas worldwide, and had a profound influence on rock music. HEART was also ranked No. 57 on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock”.
In the mid-’90s, Ann and Nancy returned to Seattle and formed The Lovemongers, with long-time collaborator Sue Ennis and performer Frank Cox. After playing a number of sold-out shows in Seattle, Lovemongers cut Led Zeppelin’s “Battle of Evermore” for the triple platinum soundtrack from the movie Singles, which was one of Nancy’s first of five soundtrack collaborations with filmmaker Cameron Crowe.
Ann and Nancy reunited as HEART in early 2002, during which time they released a critically acclaimed live concert film on DVD and CD, Heart Alive In Seattle, followed in 2004 by Jupiters Darling, the first new HEART studio album in a decade. Classic Rock magazine hailed Jupiters Darling as a career tour de force, calling it “the only record you need to buy this year.”
HEART is currently in the studio with Grammy winning producer, Ben Mink, working on a new CD for release later this year. HEART’S performances in Victoria and Vancouver will feature brand new tracks from the upcoming currently untitled album, as well as their powerhouse hits.
Beat goes on for Heart
Nancy
Arizona Daily Star, January 28th 2010
Nancy Wilson is understandably excited these days.
She and big sister Ann Wilson are catching a gusty second wind with their band, Heart. They are finishing a new album – their first studio effort in six years – and their fan base is getting larger and younger.
“There’s so much excitement right now,” Nancy, 55, said during a phone call from home in Los Angeles last week. “We’re about to do a cover shoot for the new album. The new album is getting really close. . . . It’s appearing in front of our eyes.”
Set to be released in July, the album follows 2004’s “Jupiter’s Darling.” It’s the fruit of years of touring with this lineup of musicians, which Nancy Wilson calls strong and exciting.
Wilson won’t disclose the album’s name – there’s a fan club contest centered on it - and she can’t really define it beyond saying it’s not a rehash of their signature 1970s and ’80s driving rock and monster ballads.
“It’s not just big rock, big metal or electronic sound. It’s really human,” she says. “But it also rocks harder because of that, because it’s more personal. There’s a lot of electric and a lot of acoustic and big drums and small moments. We’re kind of a variety show in that way. But it’s real cohesive.
“So see it’s hard to describe: ‘It’s really cohesive, but it’s really dynamic, but it’s really hard, but it’s really soft.’ I guess you have to hear it.”
Unfortunately, the band isn’t ready to play the new material live, so Tucson won’t hear any of it on Sunday, when Heart will play at the Desert Diamond Casino to make up for a canceled October date. The band had to bail out when most of its members came down with the flu.
“That was the H1N1 – the biggie,” she says. “We’ve played a lot of times when we were really sick, but that was a little bigger than we could handle.”
The new album is the latest chapter in the four-decade story of the trailblazing rockers. The sisters helped pave the way for other female rockers with a string of hits such as “Magic Man,” “What About Love,” “These Dreams,” “Straight On,” “Barracuda” and “The Woman in Me.”
In their 1970s and ’80s heyday, they sold out arenas worldwide on the strength of critically acclaimed albums, starting with their 1976 debut, “Dreamboat Annie.”
In the mid-1990s, the sisters took a break to raise families – both have two children – and to pursue other projects.
Ann, 59, released a solo album, “Hope & Glory,” in 2007.
Nancy worked on the soundtracks for several movies of her husband, Cameron Crowe, including “Almost Famous,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Vanilla Sky.”
The two returned to touring in 2002, reuniting with longtime fans and introducing themselves to new audiences.
“In the last three or four years, more and more very young kids are showing up, and they are just muscling their way to the front row. It’s been fantastic,” Nancy Wilson says, adding that the band’s resurgence is courtesy of the video game “Guitar Hero,” TV’s “American Idol” and the country’s fascination with the 1980s. “The kids know the music. They know our songs.”
Even Wilson’s twin sons, who turned 10 last Saturday, are fans. On the road with mom, “they just get their feathers fluffed up. ‘Oh, mom. You rock, mom!’
“It’s just so great to be ‘cool,’ at least for a while – until the morning of their 13th birthday,” she jokes.
Ask her what is left to do in a career studded with so many milestones and merit, and Wilson becomes even more philosophical.
“Everything’s left to do,” she says, sounding every bit a rocker on the rise.
