Months after storm hit, prince in Bahrain says release is set for end of this month

LOS ANGELES - Eight days after Hurricane Katrina hit, Michael Jackson announced he would release an all-star charity single within two weeks.
Nearly six months later, after questions about who would be participating, the prince who has been hosting Jackson during the singer's self-imposed exile in Bahrain says the song will come out by the end of this month.
In a telephone interview from Dubai last week, Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain's king, said, "The record is coming along great. We've been taking our time to perfect it and mix it."
The song is titled I Have This Dream, and it includes Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Rev. Shirley Caesar and the O'Jays, the prince said.
Missing are James Brown, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz, who a Jackson spokeswoman said in September had agreed to participate.
In 1985, Jackson and producer Quincy Jones brought dozens of superstars together to fight famine with the We Are the World anthem.
The prince said the Katrina release was delayed because more artists wanted to contribute. He declined to name those artists or the company he said he secured to sell the song via CDs and the Internet. He will release the song on his 2 Seas label. |
