"The
Prayer for Haiti"
The
first recorded
and released ´classical cover´
charity
single for Haiti.
Help Us Help
Haiti
Eleven of the Costa del Sols finest singers banded together in collaboration
with Rowetta on Saturday 13th February, and with just 4 days notice, and a month
after the devastating earthquake, to record a charity single for Haiti at one of
Europe´s top International Studios based in Marbella.
Predominately widely
unknown artists, and in cases raw talent; the first line
and Italian duet sung by 15 year
old Rebecca Tate. Banding together simply for the cause to help
the people of Haiti, and on zero budget; a world away from the corporate
music industry, we believeit has
still resulted in a remarkable achievement.
A cover version of Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli´s highly emotional song “The
Prayer”, which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song from the
film Quest for Camelot in 1999; this charity version renamed “The Prayer for
Haiti”.
The single is initially released as an internet download only, royalty free, by kind permission of writers David Foster, Carole Bayer
Sager & Andrea Bocelli.
This recording, parts sung in Italian, English and also Spanish,
is a fantastic eclectic mix of singing styles, and features ITV´s X Factor
finalist Rowetta, now acclaimed Tenor Stephen Lloyd-Morgan, Spain´s 15 year old WoWFactor runner-up
Rebecca Tate, the equally brilliant voices of Mayte, Daniel Boland, The Unity Gospel
Singers and the popular classical group Tres Divos.
Produced by Nick Holland & Stephen Lloyd-Morgan in association
with Maurice Boland of Talk Radio Europe and Essential Marbella Magazine; they were inspired to record this
single after the overwhelming response to Stephen & Rebecca singing The Prayer
at The Gala Dinner for Haiti held at La Quinta Golf on 5th February organised by
Maurice! A YouTube Video of the song also received over 500 hits in just a few
days! (

bounds, allowing this single to be recorded, produced and promoted totally free.
100% of the proceeds from sales, totally free of commissions or
fees will go directly to The International Child Care Ministries (via

(Mayor of Manilva) – “The Prayer for Haiti” –
“We are extremely proud and would
very much like to convey our congratulations to the producers of the charity
single (CD) “The Prayer for Haiti”. Resident British Expatriates from the
Municipality of Manilva, Stephen Lloyd-Morgan and Nick Holland, have recorded
this single in collaboration with Talk Radio Europe and Essential Marbella
Magazine, to help the desperate orphans of Haiti and they hope to raise enough
to build a new school. We very much commend their efforts and that of the entire
expatriate community who are banding together to raise much needed funds for
this worthy cause through the sale of this single(CD).” – 4th March 2010
Jose Luis Hernández – Tourist Minister Marbella
Townhall – “The Prayer for Haiti” – “Marbella City Council considers that
the expat community is giving us an example of generosity and commitment in view
of the magnitude of the devastation suffered by Haiti.Marbella can feel proud because - even in these moments of
economic crisis -
our society, and particularly our expat community, is giving such an evident
proof of commitment with the suffering of human beings that did not have
anything before the tragedy and, after it, the only thing they have is pain and
hopelessness. We hope your fund raising initiative be as successful as possible.
On behalf of Marbella City Council, receive our most sincere thanks and our
acknowledgement for your humanitarian work.” – 4th March 2010
“Dear Maurice and the
rest of the team at Talk Radio,I just wanted to thank
you personally for the wonderful job that you and all
the team at Talk Radio, plus Nick and the production
team that have been responsible for the production of
the song "Prayer for Haiti". It really makes me feel
proud to belong to the expatriate community down here on
the Costa del Sol and integrates us even more with our
Spanish hosts who I am sure view this gesture of
goodwill to a third party country as a huge positive. I
shall be urging all my friends, neighbours and anyone I
speak to in fact to download the song and hopefully help
towards raising as much money as is possible for the
poor unfortunate people in Haiti who have suffered and
lost so much. I love your show and all the other
presenters on Talk Radio and keep up the good work - you
are doing the most wonderful job in helping good causes
both here in Spain and overseas and you and all those
involved with these should be commended. Have a good day
and the very best of wishes, Elaine" - Costa del Sol
