Charity Single
A charity record or charity single is a song released by musicians with most or all proceeds raised going to a dedicated foundation or charity. George Harrison's "Bangla Desh" single in 1971 is commonly acknowledged as the first ever purpose-made charity single – in this case to help fund relief efforts following the 1970 Bhola cyclone and the Bangladesh Liberation War. The money raised was donated to UNICEF, as were takings from Harrison's all-star charity concert (again, the first of its kind) held at Madison Square Garden, New York, and its spin-off live album and concert film. This is one way of using artistic talent as art for charity. Some of the other early charity records came from the January 1979 Music for UNICEF Concert, with the likes of ABBA's " Chiquitita" and the Bee Gees' " Too Much Heaven" released as singles, all the royalties from which went to UNICEF. Band Aid's " Do They Know It's Christmas?" in November 1984 began the revolution of the charity record, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
