Annie Lennox to 'Sing' for Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

Annie LennoxAnnie Lennox held a special event Friday night in London to talk about her campaign to raise global awareness of HIV/AIDS in conjuntion with Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 10th.

In December 2006, Annie Lennox invited 23 female singers to record with her on a song she had written in order to help to draw attention to the HIV/AIDS pandemic-especially in South Africa, where women and children are most seriously affected. Annie titled her song simply "Sing," and pledged the proceeds from its sales to the Treatment Action Campaign.

In support of the effort by Annie Lennox and TAC, The Body Shop will sell and distribute a special edition of "SING" at selected UK outlets from March 10-23 -- the first time that The Body Shop has ever sold music to the public. In addition, BBC Sports Relief have agreed to broadcast footage of TAC's work, which Annie documented in September 2007 during her two-week visit to some of the most seriously affected areas of South Africa.
