Charles Wright Will Debut His Song For Darfur: 'God Bless The Children' At The Africa Achievement Awards Gala Dinner

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Charles Wright's Official Website) - The crisis in Darfur continues and the situation grows more grave with each passing day. Although President Bush has ordered new U.S. economic sanctions to pressure Sudan's government to halt the genocide in Darfur, the killing continues indiscriminately, engulfing men women and children in a murderous rampage. With so much bloodshed and violence in Darfur, it is important to remember the youngest victims of this maniacal mayhem. With that in mind, Charles Wright has written a song that he has dedicated to the children of Darfur entitled "God Bless The Children" from his new CD "Finally Got It Wright. "
Wright will sing the song publicly for the first time at The Africa Achievement Awards gala dinner honoring Ghana's Golden Jubilee at the Beverly Hills Hotel this Friday, June 1, in the hotel's Crystal Ballroom at 8 PM. The special guest of honor will be the newly inducted Ga Mantse, King Tackie Tawiah III, King of The Ga's, Republic of Ghana and His Royal Delegation.

"The number 8 song on my Finally Got It Wright CD is a song entitled God Bless The Children, which is dedicated to the children of Darfur. I wrote it because I wanted to do my part as far as bringing the world's attention to the problems of the children of that region. I have always believed that we, the African Americans, should always be the first in line when it comes to reaching out to our brothers and sisters in Africa and especially in their time of need," Wright said.

Charles Wright has been writing and performing music professionally for 5 decades. His song "Express Yourself" is a cultural phenomenon. Wright continues to record and to tour. He recently lent his considerable music industry expertise as a panelist at the Black Music Month Celebration in Philadelphia last weekend. His current release is Finally Got it Wright (M$WM Records), a new 16-song CD that surveys some of the most profound R&B he's written and recorded over the last three decades with various groups of live musicians.
