Chinese singer Zhang Liangying was among the international
performers who recorded Give Your Love on Monday night,
which is part of World Peace One's call for world peace.
Other singers and bands that have been invited to record
Give Your Love include U2, Madonna, the Rolling Stones,
Pink Floyd and Green Day, and many others. Zhang, third place
winner in China's 2005 "Super Girl" singing contest, is the lone
Asian female singer invited to participate so far.
World Peace One is a non-profit charitable organization that
stresses a world community in a peaceful existence. The recording
session time will take three days. Zhang participated in the
first-day recording in Los Angeles.
According to World Peace One, Celine Dion will record the song
in Las Vegas, and U2 will do it in Hawaii. Mariah Carey will also
record it in New York on February 19 since she has a busy schedule
doing a film. All the participating stars will record the song in
various studios and send the demo to the producer to make up one
song.
After the recording session, some performers are scheduled to
participate in "A Call for an End to War" concert August 15.
Organizers said the event should reach an audience of 3.5 billion
worldwide through television, radio, Internet and cell phones.
