Rihanna Covers Bob Marley for Haiti

January 21, 2010


Rihanna performed a moving cover of Bob Marley‘s “Redemption Song” on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday, announcing that all proceeds of the song will go to Haiti relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health.

“This song, for me, any time there was a difficult situation… it’s so liberating,” Rihanna said, on the show.

“Even now, I listen to it when my back is up against the wall. I feel the people of Haiti need to hear something inspiring.”
