...help, food, watar." One Haitian radio station S.O.S. gives Haitians the opportunity to voice where they are and what they need. One man calls in and says he's from Delmas 83 and says that their area has yet to receive any aid. A story all too familiar, as growl of bellies in the streets grow louder...

The lyrics of Reach Out I'll Be There are meant to be consoling, but Stubbs' shouted "Just look ovah yo' shoulda" makes the singer sound like a stalker. In the movies he was the voice of Audrey II, the voracious plant ("Feed me!") that's really a Mean Green Mother From Outer Space in Little Shop of Horrors. Another Motown treasure, songwriter-producer Norman Whitfield (I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, War), died...
