 <title>Kirk Franklin Gathers Gospel Community to Record a Relief Song for Haiti</title>
 <link>http://www.kirkfranklin.com/blog/kirk-franklin-gathers-gospel-community-record-a-relief-song-haiti</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;As gospel music artists gathered in Nashville, Tennessee to celebrate the biggest and brightest at the 25th Stellar Awards this past weekend, they also came together for a higher purpose.  With the recent tragic earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Kirk Franklin assembled numerous gospel artists in Nashville’s Quad Studios to lend their voices to “Are You Listening,” a song they all hope will inspire those devastated as well as raise much needed funds for Haiti.  All proceeds from the record will be donated to charities involved in relief efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
