With the exception of Hurricane Katrina, no other natural disaster in modern history has received such an overwhelming outpouring of support from the creative community than the Haiti earthquake. Despite difficulties getting supplies to the displaced and suffering, money and materials have been made possible as a result of individual acts of kindness.

In the gospel community, Kirk Franklin and Artists United for Haiti responded to the call by recording “Are You Listening?” Earlier this month, hip hop artists JunSix, Blac Heat and Jess the Facts released “We Can Rock the World’s Foundation.” Over snippets of news reports and a sample of Marvin Gaye’s “Wholly Holy” (a line from this song gives the tribute its title), the group encourages financial generosity and prayer for the Haitian people. They specifically cite Wyclef Jean’s work on behalf of his homeland.
