Keys, Bono song proceeds to benefit AIDS victims

Alicia Keys and Bono are hoping to save the lives of children through song.

The two superstars have collaborated on “Don’t Give Up (Africa)” and will donate all proceeds to Keep A Child Alive, which provides medicine to families infected with AIDS and the HIV virus.

The song is available exclusively on iTunes.

The pair first sang the tune at a Nov. 3 fund-raiser in New York City for the charity (Keys performed onstage while Bono crooned via satellite from a remote location).

“I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as a people,” said Keys, a global ambassador for Keep A Child Alive.

“I urge everyone to recognize the extreme disaster Africa is facing and step up for the Motherland.”

“Don’t Give Up” originally was performed by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush in 1986 and was titled, “So.”
