Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 10/27/05 at 11:02 pm
Does anyone here remember Artists United Against Apartheid and the "Sun City" song? Where can I download the song and get the lyrics?
And who were the singers and rappers on the song and in the video?

A remember "Little Steven," of course, because he set the whole thing up. Stevens, if you don't recall is a longtime member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
I also recall Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil singing the line "This separation of families, I just can't understand," and wishing Garrett got a bigger role in the song because I couldn't give a cr*p about the rest of them!
