[twitch]

Just joined the site, it's genius. I joined because Im dying to find out where the background music from the American Red Cross commercial for Katrina relief. I saw it on ABC about a week ago and im not referring to the one with Jhonny Cash. The ad I saw just had a super melodic, somber tune in the background. Please help

[Sir_Garland]

Oh yeah, I remember. The Johnny Cash one is a remake of Bridge Over Troubled Waters.

I have been looking for the same song...I think it's Aaron Neville singing....but I don't know if the song was made for the commercial or not, because there's not really any singing, etc. I will see if I can find anything else but I'm pretty sure it's him singing.

The only Johnny Cash Red cross comercial i have seen he was singing Bridge Over Troubled Water
"When you're weary, feeling low"

Old Simon and Garfunkel song

This thread was talking about a different song. Thanks for the info though.

 

[dadof5]

IT is AARON NEVILLE - AMAZING GRACE.... Too bad I cannot find this song anywhere available for download!

 

[proof]

Just wondering if you are referring to the commercial where you see one aid worker helping someone then it transitions to the next scene where someone is helping the previous aid worker from the last scene and continues in the same fashion?

If you are, I don't know, but I want that song as well.
