New CD featuring Kanye and more to benefit Obama


By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY – 19 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

Steve McKeever, CEO and founder of Hidden Beach, a longtime Obama supporter, said he had been talking to people within the Obama campaign about a project like "Yes We Can" for a while.

"We had conversations quite some time ago about how to harness what was happening really organically and naturally with so many artists," he said. "The whole concept (was) how do we translate that to inspire and invigorate and also give people a keepsake that they can own while at the same time providing some important capital needed for this campaign."

2. Great idea!
I'm glad Team Obama was not intimidated by the naysayers into not using it's finest resource - the terrific energy and enthusiasm of his supporters.

This soundtrack will give canvassers and the house parties/meet-ups something to groove as things heat up.

Fired Up! Ready to Go!
