The Oprah Show will dedicate a full hour to the devastating effect of last week’s catastrophic earthquake in Haiti.
On a special episode, airing Wednesday, Jan. 20, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta will give a live update from the ravaged island nation. Haitian-born rapper Wyclef Jean will share his first-hand account of what he witnessed when he traveled back to Haiti just days ago.
In addition, there will be live performances, too. Neo-soul pioneer Maxwell — who is half-Haitian — will sing “Fistful of Tears.” While island-born beauty Rihanna will perform a special rendition of Bob Marley’s classic “Redemption Song.”
Both Rihanna and Maxwell’s songs will be available on iTunes, with all proceeds benefitting the relief effort.
