From Radio Undercover Music News 9/21/01

Nile Rodgers of Chic fame and writer of the Sister Sledge hit "We Are Family" is to remake his classic dance hit. Rodgers says "I am putting together a cross section of personalities to re-record my song, "We Are Family." He goes on to say that the song was had personal meaning to Nelson Mandela. "Mr. Nelson Mandela said one of the strongest rays of hope is the song "We Are Family."

He told Bernard Edwards (my co-writer) and me it was constantly playing on the radios of his prison guards. The vision of white guards singing songs by black women on mainstream airwaves reassured him that South Africa would not be segregated forever" commented Niles.

"Nothing lifts the spirit like song. Politicians and tacticians have known this since the beginning of time. In my own humble way I am giving the greatest gift I have the gift of music. The proceeds of the new recording will go to various charities to benefit those who need our help".

Confirmed to perform on the new song already ... Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Busta Rhymes, NSYNC and Sister Sledge. Actors Macaulay Culkin and Kevin Bacon will also be on the recording.
