PEOPLE, Page 93BirdlandBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Jeannie Park
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."
