Talking Heads members help Sandy Hook schoolchildren with charity single

Two former Talking Heads helped a choir student registration Sandy Hook only primary charity, which also features singer Ingrid Michaelson. His interpretation of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which is already available, will raise funds in honor of the children and staff who died last month shooting school in Newtown, Connecticut.

The song was recorded in the home studio of Connecticut residents Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, known for his work in the Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads. "My hope is that the school children Sandy Hook has a hit record," said Frantz. "And I think we have a very good chance." Tim Hayes, one of the new owners revived New York club CBGB, has contributed to this project together. "Music has the power to heal the listener and the artist," he told the Los Angeles Times. "The children were invited to sing the song as a prayer."

• Most of the 21 members of the choir from Sandy Hook are current or former students of the school, and many lost friends in the attack. Kayla Dick, who is 10, told the television show Good Morning America that the song helped to remember six years, Jessica Rekos, died Dec. 11. "Singing the song that makes me feel like he was with me, and she is with me, sing with me," he said.

Michaelson, whose latest album reached number five in the United States, sings and plays the ukulele in the song. "To be able to honor those who lost their lives is something that I am very humbled," she said. Proceeds from the sale of the track go to the United Way and Western Connecticut Newtown Youth Academy, a community center.
