The original did much to ignite the social conscience of a generation that, until then, was too wrapped up in the "boom" economics of the day. By using pop icons it made giving "cool".
I see no reason why it won't work again with this new crop of stars appealing to a new audience, and with Geldorf hovering behind the scenes we can rest assured that no-one will be lining their pockets with money meant for a good cause.
I don't care for "Christmas No 1 Hits" but I hope this one goes straight in and stays there for a while.
It won't cure third world poverty but it will at least help to keep these issues in focus and do some good.

C-flat.
