Music CD- Hearing Aid with Dio - song Starz!

[toysrus]

Can anybody help me here? Does anybody have a good quality copy of the song called " Starz" ? I believe its from the 80's. A bunch of Metal bands got together and did a charity song i think for the hearing impaired. Name of the group was hearing aid. And again song name - starz or maybe stars. I did download it from an online source but that site gave me a virus and i cant transfer the song now. I thought maybe somebody here can find it or has it on CD?

The band had tons of those 80's guys, i remember Dio, Dokken, Kevin Dubrow, Yngwie Malmsteen and many more!

Please PM me or respond here!

Thank you!!

I have a VHS of those guys that I still haven't opened. I don't recall the song - is it a ballad?

The first part of the song is a small part with a typical
down-tempo/ballad-type style, with the lyrics: "Who cries for the children? I do."

Then the song launches into a dark "Dio" type groove ala "Holy Diver"
for its remainder.

Its actually a very generic Dio-type song---something I'm not that big
of a fan of--- but I did always think it was cool to have all those artists
on the same track...and picking out who was doing "what" "where".

It wasn't for the hearing impaired, it was a benefit for the starving in Africa, just like Band Aid, Live Aid, USA for Africa, etc. Ronnie was upset at the fact that those other organisations had completely excluded heavy metal artists from participating (with the slight exception of Live Aid who did have Black Sabbath and Judas Priest appear on the bill, albeit far down the bill early in the morning hours). So he organised his own benefit to show that hard rock/metal musicians were caring human beings as well (he was correct on most accounts lol).

Maybe not the most sterling song ever written but still pretty cool to hear Rob Halford, Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Ronnie Dio and others trading off on vocals.

I have the song although it is recorded a bit on the low side. I liked it when it came out and still do to listen to it every now and then when I tire of the samo samo. It is a classic to me with all of the multiple talents that appear in the song. I am going to work on boosting the volume a bit in the future to give it a more modern day sound. Right now it sounds just like some of those first recorded 80's CD's. (a little low on the volume side).
