NEW YORK — Barack Obama's presidential campaign, which has inspired a multitude of songs by stars and amateurs alike, is now getting an official soundtrack.

"Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement," which takes its title from an Obama campaign slogan, features Kanye West, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder and others. It will be available for sale exclusively through Obama's campaign starting Friday.

Proceeds from the CD ($24.99 for a digital download, $30 for a physical product) will help fund Obama's campaign until Nov. 4, Election Day, according Hidden Beach Recordings, which created the CD

1. Very cool.....

I was hoping for something like this....
I hope they include some of the songs that they play before his rallys...
I find those very inspirational.

5. Please, Jebus, don't let them include that crappy shit-kicker country song

that they played after an otherwise magnificent nominating event in Denver. :scared:

6. That's great. What I want though is the musical soundtrack from the convention

Someone did a great job with that--they played "Isn't She Lovely" when Michelle Obama walked on stage, that kind of thing.

7. John McCain could issue a greatest hits,

except that he's in litigation with several of the artist's whose songs he stole for the campaign. :evilgrin:

8. I ordered 2 tonight, as soon as I got home. Figured they would sell out quick, and now I have one

to gift.

9. Oh....I'm buying that!

I was just listening to Obama's convention speech earlier today.....In fact, I watched a large part of the Thursday convention, because I had DVRed it. It put me in a real good mood!
