Broadway's Matt Zarley recently recorded the 80s iconic Pat Benatar hit 'We Belong' as a charity single to benefit The Trevor Project available today, February 14th. The main version was produced by Matt's longtime collaborator, Grammy and Emmy winning producer/engineer, Andy Zulla (Kelly Clarkson, Kelly Rowland, Rod Stewart, Backstreet Boys). The 2-song download includes the 'pop' version and the Remix by DJ Bill Bennett & Pete Masitti.

Singer/musician extraordinaire Corky Hale plays a heavenly harp and also sings and plays piano along with guest artists Sally Kellerman ('Ive Got a Crush on You'), Freda Payne (a divine 'Alfie'), Tricia Tahara ('My Romance'), Ariana Savalas, and Brenna Whitaker on Corky Hale and friends...I'm Glad There Is You. Hale sounds like a young Ella Fitzgerald ('The More I See You') and all six women work magically on some truly great standards. OK, it's mellow... it's oh so pretty...it's easy listening... it's one terrific album!

Truly great pop singers are a rarity these days, singers of the calibre of Elton John, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder - all idols of Matt Zarley. No wonder Zarley turned out so good! He has an easy-going, warm style onstage that pulls you in and holds you tight. Like his grandma's idol Elvis, he becomes our 'Teddy Bear' possessing on the inside such a heartfelt and winning spirit!
