Back in the 1991, a group of musical luminaries assembled to create a series of CDs called “For Our Children”. Some of the performances have become legendary, from Bette Midler’s “Blueberry Pie” to Bruce Springsteen’s “Chicken Lips and Lizard Hips to Luther Vandross singing “Puff the Magic Dragon” to Little Richard singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, to other delightful renditions of children’s songs by the likes of Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Cher, Seal, and Sting. Over a million units were sold, with proceeds benefitting the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

The original records are out of print, but about a year ago this compilation of the best of the best was released. Called Every Child Deserves a Lifetime: Songs from the for Our Children Series, it brings the best performances together onto one CD. And of course, all proceeds still go to benefit the same great cause.
