On January 9, 1979, History was made when the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations became the stage for a star-studded gathering of some of the biggest names in popular music. THE MUSIC FOR UNICEF Concert featured entertainers who came together, not only to celebrate 1979 as the International Year of the Child, but to launch a far-reaching fund-raising concept.
”A Gift of Song – The MUSIC FOR UNICEF Concert” is the official record of the event, and it captures the emotions of peace, love and understanding which dominated the very special evening. This was a concert with a purpose, designed to provide food, health care, shelter and education for the children in greatest need in 100 developing countries around the globe. The performers involved donated a copyright or the royalties from a song to benefit UNICEF, hoping to further the organization´s vital work while inspiring others to do the same.
The MUSIC FOR UNICEF Concert was televised internationally, beamed out to some 70 countries. It was a stirring attempt by all involved to fulfill music´s promise as a universal language of brotherhood and compassion. The donated songs and this commemorative album itself will provide substantial financial support for UNICEF´s work for the children of the world. This album is dedicated to them.
