"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. The single and supporting documentary music video was intended to help boost the morale of U.S. troops involved in Operation Desert Storm, as well as supporting the International Red Cross organization.

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. It was written and directed by David S. Jackson. It was hosted by James Woods.

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.

"Voices That Care" reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 3 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales, number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, and number 6 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.

  • love this song..

  • This song left a mark inside my heart when i first heard it 19 years ago when i was very much in love with someone...and played it in my mind eversince...And now that i found this here, i'll never get tired playing it over and over again to reminisce that enchanting evening...

  • I am very moved. I heard this for the first time when it was released and was moved then but I lost it. Now after hunting for over 19 years I have found it and its not going to get lost again. This is a song of inspiration! Its for all those who need to know that somebody cares back home and we do care. Ignore the lefties and hippies! Ignore the negative remarks! Just know we do care! WE are Americans and our days our not yet finished. WE will be proud to stand tall and proud!
