.
(press release) On the eve of what might prove to be Billy Grahams final crusade, legendary musician Pat Boone has brought
together some of the brightest stars from across the musical spectrum to create a moving tribute to the
renowned 86-year old evangelists life and work. Boones labor of love, Thank You, Billy Graham, inspired
the participation of musical artists from various genres including pop, country and gospel. A portion of
proceeds from the recording will benefit Mercy Corps and Samaritans Purse, two charitable organizations
dedicated to relieving poverty around the world.
The tribute video performance opens with Bonos perspective lauding Grahams global influence and then rolls
into a stunning montage highlighting his impressive career and the notable figures who have looked to him for
spiritual guidance. The song itself is reminiscent of We Are The World with such vocalists as Andre Crouch,
Kenny Rogers, LeAnn Rimes, and Michael McDonald, among others, handling verses and the entire ensemble
joining on the indelible chorus, He heard the word, got the call, took the message to us all, said it so we all
could understand.[see
