Just Stand Up To Cancer: Another Coalition

Back in 2001, artists such as Destiny's Child, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Monica, Alicia Keys and many others redid Marvin Gaye's song "Whats Going On". The song was done to spread the awareness about AIDS. Back in 2004 another group of artist came together to influence people to vote. Akon, Ashanti, Brandy, Faith Evans, Musiq Soulchild, Monica, Mary J. Blige are some of the few artist that helped make this message a success.
