LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE!!! 5 years later,
Lin-Manuel Miranda and
Jennifer Lopez have re-released their charity song LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND for a very special cause. Both Latin performers are helping both support The
Hispanic Federation. It continue to celebrate love, foster community, and raise additional funds to honor the victims, their families, survivors, and the community….. even especially during this previous past year of the COVID-19 pandemic and support of diversity.
LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND was originally released in July 2016 following Miranda’s departure from
Hamilton on Broadway. The song was recorded as a benefit anthem single to support of those who were effected by the tragic
PULSE Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. When the shooting happened was also the night Miranda and the full HAMILTON team took home their
Tony Awards glory. Most notably when winning for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE, Miranda gave a very emotional speech in support of those in Orlando with the famous saying LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE.
How powerful is this song?
