 NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Little Dizzy Records) - Daniel Pearl was a Wall Street Journalist who was murdered in Pakistan and Darren Russell, employed as an English teacher, was murdered in China. The original song, "Dancing in the Rain" is based on the Pearl and Russell Family's goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communication. Maxine Russell has honored Darren's memory by sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors with free resources and grief education support, training a therapy dog to work with patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to attend school, and donating to "Paws for Purple Hearts" a program which has veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with physical disabilities. More sponsors for the troops are always welcome. New Hip-hop/ R&B artist Dionyza sings vocals on "Dancing In The Rain". She worked on the best-selling soundtracks of the mega hit Disney TV movie High School Musical 1 and 2. Her debut CD which she co-wrote with Robbie Nevil will be in stores June 24, 2008 on Little Dizzy Records. "Dancing In The Rain" was written by Wendy Young and Michael B. Sutton and was recorded in Sherman Oaks, CA at Jam Factory Studios in November of 2007.
