Song benefits homeless LGBT yout
Openly gay singers - including Alan Cumming - remake an old favorite
David Raleigh, Alan Cumming and Ari Gold recently recorded a remake of Dionne Warwick’s “That’s What Friends Are For” to benefit the Ali Forney Center, a New York City shelter for homeless LGBT youth. The song was originally written as a tribute to people living with AIDS in the 1980s – and performed by Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight.

Listen to the song here during a special video of the recording session:
