Sing – Who are the 23?
Annie Lennox recently posted an entry on her MySpace blog to talk about her much anticipated “Sing“.
“There seems to be a lot of interest about Sing, the HIV Aids anthem I’ve
written and recorded with the “Choir of 23” internationally renowned women
artists, and The Generics… Treatment Action Campaign’s vocal group, who I recently met for the first time in Cape Town.
I thought it might be a good
time to announce the quintessential line up of ladies…”

I also met with Nitan Sawney the other evening, and it’s very likely that he’ll work his magic into an altenative “special” version of the song. Nitan is a committed humanitarion, and is very much behind the concept of Sing, what it stands for, and aims to achieve.
