Golden Slumbers: A Father's Love

Product Description
Golden Slumbers - A Father's Love is a heartfelt collection of songs celebrating the bond between father and child.

The album features contributions from such Grammy Award winning and critically acclaimed artists such as Dave Matthews, Phil Collins, Michael McDonald, Smokey Robinson, Jon Secada, Carlos Ponce, Richard Marx, Buddy Jewell, Will Downing, Solomon Burke, Loudon Wainwright III and Kirk Whalum, with a special appearances by James Earl Jones (all dads).

Each artist contributed a song that they felt best expressed their own unique perspective on fatherhood. The result is a diverse mix of music that everyone can relate to.

In addition to providing a touching insight to the relationships between these artists and their children, a portion of proceeds from "Golden Slumbers: A Father’s Love" will benefit the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), the nation’s leading fatherhood organization, whose mission is to improve the well-being of children by increasing the proportion who grow up with involved, responsible and committed fathers. The CD will also be released in conjunction with the NFI’s annual Golden Dad's Project. The campaign, sponsored every Father’s Day, is an event where celebrity dads reach out into the community and catch other dads doing something special with their children - from going to the zoo, taking a walk or going to the movies. This year the NFI plans to honor 2000 dads.

A must have for little boys and little girls.......2007-03-09

Absolutely beautiful songs and incredible singers. Worth every penny I spent on it, as my son, husband and I all love to listen to it as we fall asleep at night. Be aware, however, that two songs talk about the death of a father, which some kids might find traumatic to listen to at night.

LOVE THIS CD!.......2007-02-21

We absolutely love this cd! It is great to play in my daughter's nursery. I purchased the two cd's for my husband for Father's Day last year. He loves them as well!

If you are having a girl, get this cd for the song "Daughter". It stuck in my husband's head and he sang it to her over and over the day she was born.

This album is very seductive and sweet at the same time. Fathers with incredible voices singing beautiful songs to their children--what could be more wonderful? Some of the songs bring tears to the adults listeners. Children love them too.

Wonderful!.......2005-09-19

Even better than we expected... our son and daughter-in-law are expecting their first child, and they both appreciated the father-child theme. All 'round very nice.

Used in a fatherhood program with Head Start Children ages 3-5. Helpful in letting fathers show love to children.
