The 12 finalists from this year’s "American Idol" competition have released a charity single, out this Tuesday to benefit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The single "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" a No. 2 hit for Diana Ross in the United Kingdom in 1991 has been recorded by label RCA for the victims of the South Asia tsunamis.
The 12 contestants have all contributed on it: Bo Bice, Lindsey Cardinale, Anthony Fedorov, Mikalah Gordon, Constantine Maroulis, Anwar Robinson, Scott Savol, Jessica Sierra, Vonzell Solomon, Nikko Smith, Nadia Turner and Carrie Underwood.
The viewers of Fox-TV’s massively popular "American Idol" series decided which of three songs would be released as a single. The Hollies' classic "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" or Ray Stevens' "Everything is Beautiful" will be also included on the single as many viewers cast votes for all three songs.
Label RCA and show producer 19 Entertainment will donate 50 cents of the proceeds earned by the each single and 21 cents for every digital download sold.
"We are so grateful for the generosity of the RCA Music Group, 19 Entertainment and the talented musicians on 'American Idol'," said Marsha J.Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. "Every eight minutes, the Red Cross responds to a disaster with the financial help of supporters like RCA, 19 Entertainment and 'American Idol' We couldn’t do it without their help and that of thousands of caring Americans each year."
