HILLARY, HITMAKERS FIGHT CHILD ABUSE
Hillary Clinton was honored at a Tuesday luncheon by the
National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse for her work on the
issue.
She was joined by recording artists including Michael Bolton,
Stephen Bishop, Carnie and Wendy Wilson, All 4 One and Tamia. The
stars have recorded a CD, Love Shouldn't Hurt, to be released
Nov. 17.
R&B singer Tamia told USA TODAY the project was especially
important for her. ''When I was in grade school, a little boy
would come to school with a different bruise every day. I told
the teacher. It turned out his father was beating on him,'' said
Tamia, 23. Her fiance, Detroit Pistons star Grant Hill, was in
the audience.
All 4 One's Jamie Jones had a special message for the Clinton-
obsessed media: ''If people put the energy from this case into
something positive, we could take care of a lot of problems like
child abuse.''
