I would like to know why this has not been all over the news? hmmm sounds like something funny going on LUCY
You can buy the song and video at iTunes and all of the proceeds go to Haiti. And you can donate more at somoselmundo(dot)org. I think it came out really well. Love seeing and hearing David Archuleta in it too!
Got something to say?
