Heart of America is a charity single written by Tim Blixseth. The song was performed by Wynonna Judd, Michael McDonald, and Eric Benet before the third game of the 2005 World Series, in tribute to those affected by Hurricane Katrina.[1] When the trio recorded the song in a studio, they were joined by a choir of hurricane evacuees from New Orleans, Louisiana. Proceeds from the song benefits Habitat for Humanity. The song, according to Blixseth, helped to raise $127 million for hurricane-relief charities.[2]
