Lucie Arnaz Song to Benefit World Trade Centre Twin Towers Fund

To Our Fellow Americans and Everyone Listening,  

Like so many of my friends and peers recently, I have felt somewhat powerless and ineffectual in finding a way to personally try to help right the wrongs of the September 11th tragedy.

But, my father always said: "If you don't know what to do, don't do anything!" And I believe what he meant by that was that, sometimes if you wait a little bit, another part of the puzzle will fall into place and you WILL know what to do.  Well, sure enough, I just waited and eventually began to turn toward my own strengths and it became clear that one thing we, as entertainers, CAN do is to try to inspire change and more positive thought with the right material.

To that effect, I remembered a song that had been written for me by Ron Abel and Chuck Steffan ten years ago during the Gulf War.  Ron, who is a gifted composer, has been my close friend and musical director for over 13 years and he and his partner, Chuck, (one of the finest lyricists I know), had been feeling much the same way I did and, as fate would have it, had decided, that very day, to take another look at that same song!  It was actually sitting on Ron's piano the evening we met and discussed this out in Los Angeles.  We sang it through once and knew.

Now, (as fate would also have it) I was only to be in Los Angeles a couple more days to finish editing the I LOVE LUCY 50th Anniversary Special you've all heard about on November 11th, but, we all agreed to try to pull a first class recording session together before I had to leave.

In 20 minutes Ron had booked his favorite studio, the best musicians we know and gotten instant commitments from a choir of some of the most glorious voices in this business and two days later we recorded HEAVEN KNOWS.

Everyone worked for free (even the musicians!!!!!!!) and Ron Abel and Chuck Steffan are donating any and all proceeds from the sale and or airplay of this song to Mayor Guillani's TWIN TOWERS FUND here in New York City.  The proceeds of the TWIN TOWERS FUND go to support the families of any uniformed officers killed in the September 11th attack, whether they be firefighters, police or city officials.

We would like to take this opportunity also to thank PR NEWSWIRE, who generously offered to distribute a sampling of this song and to all the media, nationwide, and to Westwood One and MJI /Clear Channel and to Lobeline Communications for all their help in getting this to all of you.  God Bless you!

Ron and Chuck and I, and everyone involved in HEAVEN KNOWS, look forward to your "playing our song!" and in turn helping us to help these very deserving families and we wish you all a safe, happy and peace-filled holiday season surrounded by those you love.

Very Sincerely,   

Lucie Arnaz
