Posted by: Jill Serjeant
Youve heard them at the Obama campaign rallies and speeches for months, andstevie.jpg now all those Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer and Los Lonely Boys songs that warm up the Democratic Party crowds have been put together on one album.
Billed as the first-ever presidential campaign compilation, the 18-song disc Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement also includes excerpts from speeches given by Barack Obama and goes on sale exclusively on the campaigns official Web site on Friday.
All proceeds from digital downloads ($24.99) and the old-fashioned CD ($30) will go to the Obama-Biden campaign, said Hidden Beach Recordings, which is behind the project.
Hidden Beach CEO Steve McKeever said the diverse artists contributing underscores how deeply inspiring this campaign has been across boundaries.
The recording includes Wonders Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Mayers Waiting on the World To Change, and Los Lonely Boys Make It Better, as well as new material by Lionel Richie and John Legend.
Absent from the list however is Barbra Streisand, one of Obamas biggest singing supporters.

After Nov. 4, “Yes We Can” will become “Thought We Could” or “Yes We Should Have”.
LOL, I can hardly wait.
As soon as I read the title that song popped into my head. I need some duct tape....
All crap.
