Chinese singer Zhang Liangying was among the international performers who recorded Give Your Love on Monday night, which is part of World Peace One's call for world peace.

 

 

Other singers and bands that have been invited to record Give Your Love include U2, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Green Day, and many others. Zhang, third place winner in China's 2005 "Super Girl" singing contest, is the lone Asian female singer invited to participate so far.

 

World Peace One is a non-profit charitable organization that stresses a world community in a peaceful existence. The recording session time will take three days. Zhang participated in the first-day recording in Los Angeles.

 

According to World Peace One, Celine Dion will record the song in Las Vegas, and U2 will do it in Hawaii. Mariah Carey will also record it in New York on February 19 since she has a busy schedule doing a film. All the participating stars will record the song in various studios and send the demo to the producer to make up one song.

 

After the recording session, some performers are scheduled to participate in "A Call for an End to War" concert August 15. Organizers said the event should reach an audience of 3.5 billion worldwide through television, radio, Internet and cell phones.
