R&B Musicians Promote Anti-Bush Song -- GOPUSAHip-hop and R&B singers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmunds, Missy Elliot, Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Russell Simmons, JC Chasez, the Backstreet Boys, Chingy, Wyclef Jean, Eve, Ashanti, Jadakiss and even actress Minnie Driver have combined their talents in a new recording of the Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes song entitled "Wake Up Everybody."
Originally recorded and used by the Democratic Party when Jimmy Carter was running for president to generate support from the black community, this new version produced by Edmunds is being created in a concerted effort to defeat President George W. Bush in November.
"This song is the spirit of the country, and all these artists have the will to change it, empower the young voters, and create a movement for people to vote and change the current administration," Edmunds said in a statement on Tuesday. "The message of this song is timeless and especially meaningful in today's world."
The liberal activist singer/producer believes his remake of "Wake Up Everybody" will make the difference for Kerry against Bush.
"This will be a recording event destined to make history and certain to affect change in the November election," Edmunds added.
In the new version, Elliot urges listeners in a rap that "everybody white or black ... You better go and vote and get up off your back."
