- <p> Saving endangered rain forests is an important matter, but
- it can be fun too. At least that's the way it seemed when
- country rocker Rita Coolidge met up with an exotic species at
- a recording session in Los Angeles. She and electronic-music
- wizard Thomas Dolby, ex-Beatle Ringo Starr and more than 50
- other performers are part of an international creation: Spirit
- of the Forest, a single and video that will be released to
- coincide with World Environment Day, June 5. The fund-raising
- effort is patterned after We Are the World, and the song, by the
- British group Gentlemen Without Weapons, includes animal noises,
- Indian chants and sounds of nature. "You hear a tree fall," says
- Coolidge, "and it breaks your heart."
