MJ2 & Celebrity Friends – You Can’t Say Love Enough

Posted by Country Girl on December 18th, 2010

“You Can’t Say Love Enough”  is a charity single by female group MJ2 and their celebrity friends, with all net proceeds from sales going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  The list of artists who donated their talents to the single is impressive:  Andy Griggs, Bill Anderson, Buddy Jewell, Burns & Poe, Cowboy Troy, Dolly Parton, Heartland, Heidi Newfield, Larry Gatlin, Lee Greenwood, Mark Collie, Moe Bandy, Rio Grand, Rudy Gatlin, Steve Wariner, T.G. Sheppard, and Wayne Newton.  In “You Can’t Say Love Enough,” the artists convey a positive message:  say “I love you” today because tomorrow is not a guarantee.  

 While I don’t expect MJ2, a relatively unknown group, will be able to make “You Can’t Say Love Enough” a timeless classic like Michael Jackson’s charity ensemble single “We Are the World,” they do make a nice effort.  It’s a meaningful song born out of love for a worthy charity.  Purchasing “You Can’t Say Love Enough” by MJ2 and their celebrity friends is a simple way for us all to show love for the JDRF through a monetary gift.
