Todd Rundgren and some well known guest artists are re-recording his 1973 anthem \u201cJust One Victory\u201d and giving it away for free to Democrats throughout the US running for public office this year. So far Joe Walsh, Daryl Hall, and Paul Shaffer have already agreed to join the effort along with producer Don Was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust One Victory\u201d originally appeared as the final track on Rundgren’s critically acclaimed 1973 album,\u00a0A Wizard, a True Star<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rundgren hopes that other notable artists sign on as well. \u201cLet’s go for ‘We Are the World,’\u201d he recently told Andy Greene of Rolling Stone. \u201cNot many people know about it at this particular moment, especially because just as we were getting into the project this huge distraction [of the virus] came along. We are waiting for everyone to settle down from that before we refocus on the political and start actively soliciting some performances.\u201d
Guest artists on the song don’t need to be musicians or even musically inclined. Once the song is recorded any Democrat will be able to use the song for free. \u201cIt’s really the kind of thing to get people hyped up and ready to go out and vote,\u201d Rundgren says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
