this past week i was working at colony music and the phone rang, so being the good employee i am, i answered it.

on the other end was a man and he asked how he could get a song in sheet music form. i asked him what song he was looking for and he replied that he wasn't looking for a song but HAD a song that he wanted to be transcribed into sheet music form.

we get alot of people at colony looking for songs that just aren't available in sheet music because they are out of print or a version hasn't ever been released.

so this guy was asking for this, and i quickly said, "i can do it for you" to which he replied, "great! give me your website and contact info and i will send you the mp3."

i said cool and gave him my info. before we hung up he said this song was the theme song from the stand up to cancer telethon that was televised a few weeks ago and that they wanted to give a copy of the music to all the singers involved.

when i arrived home i checked my email and there was the message from the this guy. with the mp3 was a lyrics sheet.

needless to say, i was floored with who sang it! this is the blurb from wikipedia:

"Just Stand Up!" is a song featuring the vocals of an all-star group of pop/R&B/rock/country performers, including Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood, Keyshia Cole, LeAnn Rimes, Ashanti, and Ciara. This group purposely was billed as Artists Stand Up to Cancer to the public. American songwriter and producer Antonio "L.A." Reid conceived the collaboration after a meeting with the founder of Stand Up to Cancer, which will benefit from the proceeds of the record. Reid co-produced the track with American singer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and the single was released on August 21, 2008.

The singers performed the song live on the "Stand Up to Cancer" telethon which aired simultaneously on ABC, CBS and NBC on September 5th, 2008.
