What More Can I Give Music Video
(I believe it's fanmade, out of different footage shown
on TV)
Could someone share information about this recording and
if the information @Wikipedia is correct? According to a
fragment of its entry:
"One year after the all-star recording of "What More Can
I Give", it was played for the first time on radio. WKTU-
FM, a radio station based in New York, debuted the song
without permission and played it in heavy rotation. WKTU-
FM's Program Director Frankie Blue stated at the time,
"This song is a gift to the world. Michael and everyone
donated their time for it, and it deserves to be heard.
The song is called "What More Can I Give", and I can give
the world a song they can cling onto and hopefully make
them think about what they can give."[23] It is unknown
how the station acquired a copy of the song; both Jackson
and Schaffel were uninvolved with it. Prior to the
airing, at least 200 promo copies of the song were sent
to the musicians who participated in the recording
process, as well as to their representatives. Schaffel
stated that he would hate to see the song not being used
to raise money for charity, the intended purpose. WKTU-FM
received numerous telephone calls and emails from
listeners following their unauthorized playing of the
song, thanking the station and asking where they could
buy a copy of "What More Can I Give""

Apparently it was released in mp3 format (quite lossy...
192kbps) on Oct. 27, 2003.
Could someone please confirm if it, indeed, was only
premiered and played at WKTU-FM, or more played it as
well, and for how long?
How was the song distributed at the time to radio
stations (if it was at all)?
Are these CDs legit or not?
Main Version + Alt. Bridge Version (5:10)
2003 New Mix (3:39)
I've been after lossless copies of those three tracks
(plus its Spanish Version, which I have as well in mp3
format, same quality as the distributed english version).
Still hopefull I'll find them. It's quite unlikely it'll
ever be released, having so many artists involved, and
falling into a legal limbo.
Thanks in advance!
