associated with this disease meant that you must have it. so to have someone like dionne dedicate a song on behalf of this disease was simply groundbreaking. >> my sister dionne called me on the phone. she said, "hey, look, you, i need you in the studio this afternoon about 12:00." and she said, "stevie's already on it." >> well, i was happy from the moment that i was called to be asked to be a part of it. and most importantly, do something that would help this fight against aids. >> i thought, "god, these people have already done something. i've got to get off my big fat ass and do something positive. >> i remember my first time hearing that song as a kid, to hear those voices together and to hear how she's that motherly voice on there that could just comfort you and let you know everything was going to be all right. snoef
