Brandy, Q. Parker, and Amina Buddafly join two dozen other singers who belt out Michael Jackson's "Heal The World" for charity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tens of millions of people's lives to come to a screeching halt. Jobs are being furloughed, people are being laid off, parents are finding themselves homeschooling their children for the first time, and there's no telling when kids will be allowed to return to school. Government officials are doing their best to have life return to some sense of normalcy, but it's clear that whatever comes out of this pandemic will be the "new normal."

To help spread a little love and light during this time, dozens of singers have joined together to sing Michael Jackson's megahit "Heal The World." The collaboration features a special appearance by the late icon's nephew TJ Jackson as well as platinum-selling artists Brandy, Deborah Cox, Chrisette Michele, Cece Peniston, Chante Moore, and Q. Parker of 112. Other participants include Traci Braxton, Amina Buddafly, Olivia, Avery Wilson, Dondria, Stevie Mackey, Brian Angel of Day 26, Carvena, Lydia Caesar, Devin Velez, Tre Burwell, Sleeping Sunset, Amber Claire, Brave Williams, J. Brown, Heidi Jutras, Antonique Smith, Jawan Jackson, and NBDY.

The "HealTheWorldChallenge" is aimed to help No Kid Hungry, according to Silent, the creator of TrueExclusives and producer of the Heal the World video. Listen to these powerhouse vocalists do Michael Jackson proud in the #HealTheWorldChallenge.
