The Broadway community has gathered together to produce a charity single to honor the victims of the Orlando massacre.  They have given the Bacharach/David classic “What the World Needs Now is Love” the “We are the World” treatment, and the result is absolutely lovely.

Watch the video below, but be sure to purchase and download the song at the Broadway for Orlando website too (Itunes will carry it as well in a few days).  100% of the proceeds go to benefit the LGBT Community Center of Orlando.
