Jawn Murray Assembles All-Star Cast for “That’s What Friends Are For” Collab

TV Host & Pop Culture Commentator Jawn Murray has assembled an all-start list of R&B, Gospel & Jazz singers for an inspiring virtual collaboration remaking the classic ‘Dionne Warwick & Friends’ song, “That’s What Friends Are For.”

Feeling the weight of people online expressing the challenges of social distancing during the pandemic and missing human connection, Murray spent 72 hours in the days leading up to his birthday on April 21 reaching out to a variety of his friends about participating. The end resulted in over 24 vocalists who all submitted videos for the empowering endeavor

The 24 singers featured on the “That’s What Friends Are For” virtual collaboration include Yolanda Adams, Ruben Studdard, Michelle Williams, Coko of SWV, Syleena Johnson, Major., Shirley Murdock, CeCe Peniston, Le’Andria Johnson, Kenny Lattimore, Shanice, Ann Nesby, Avery Sunshine, Dave Hollister, Trenyce, Y’Anna Crawley, Leela James, Isaac Carree, Maysa, Lexi, Brian Courtney Wilson, Paula Champion, Angie Stone and Jeremiah Abiah.
