    "Voices That Care" is a 1991 song written by David Foster, Linda Thompson, and Peter Cetera and recorded by a supergroup of popular musicians, entertainers and athletes.[2] The song was released as a single on March 13, 1991 by Giant Records. The song was produced by Foster. The group of people involved was also collectively known as Voices That Care and was shown as such on the single release and marketing materials. The charity single and supporting documentary music video were intended to help boost the morale of U.S. troops involved in Operation Desert Storm, as well as supporting the International Red Cross organization.[2] The documentary, which followed the recording of the single to the music video's presentation to the troops in the Middle East, aired on Fox on February 28, 1991,[3] coincidentally the day fighting in Desert Storm ended.[4]

    "Voices That Care" reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100[5] and number 6 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[6] In Canada, the song reached number 61.[7] Warren Wiebe, a friend of Foster and little-known vocalist at the time who recorded the demo of the song, was invited by Foster to sing lead and deliver the last solo lines of the song.[8] Wiebe died on October 25, 1998[9] (aged 45). The music video was directed by Jim Yukich (who, three years later, helmed the movie Double Dragon) and produced by Paul Flattery for FYI (Flattery Yukich Inc.).
