On October 27, 2003, the edited version of the single, 'What More Can I Give?', featuring a host of other artists, is released via the official Music for Giving website as a $2 download to support charity projects. The charities that received donations when 'What More Can I Give?' was purchased were "Oneness", "Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation" and "The International Child Art Foundation".
It was due to certain legal delays and misunderstandings that the charity anthem, (also previously devoted to the Kosovo victims and intended to be performed with late Luciano Pavarotti in 1999), was redirected – via Internet pay - to providing financial aid to the September 11, 2001 victims in New York.
Michael premiered the short film for 'What More Can I Give?' in the conference area at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The short film was first premiered to a small Clear Channel audience. Clear Channel is a collection of media and entertainment companies. Michael thanked the disc jockeys, producers, and radio in general and stated that he did not think that they get enough credit. He went on to say that they help artists get their music out and he wouldn’t be here without their support. During the video premiere, Michael sat on the floor and watched with the audience. He invited the children in the audience to sit with him.
Immediately following, Michael went next door where the short film premiered again for a larger audience of radio stations. Again, he sat on the floor for the premiere. He thanked everyone and was extremely personable. Michael said that he feels his music is channeled from God; he sings it, but it’s the radio that gets it out. He expressed his appreciation again for the continued support of his work.
Following the premiere of the short film Michael went back to the ‘Art of Music’ store and did another signing. Some fans were able to get in and get t-shirts, and other memorabilia signed. He also made sure to greet the fans that were standing outside of the store.
In regards to this charity single, Michael simply stated, "Let’s make this happen!"

Jackson Charity Single Finally Available
The multi-artist benefit single "What More Can I Give" will be made available today (Oct. 27) for download through the non-profit organization Music for Giving. Completed in 2001, recording of the single was orchestrated by Michael Jackson.
The multi-artist benefit single "What More Can I Give" will be made available today (Oct. 27) for download through the non-profit organization Music for Giving. Completed in 2001, recording of the single was orchestrated by Michael Jackson and featured the talents of Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Carlos Santana, Beyoncé Knowles, Usher and Brian McKnight, among others.
For a $2 donation, the single can be downloaded from musicforgiving.com. According to the site, proceeds will be divided between several children's charities: Oneness, Hollywood Education and Literacy Program, Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation and the International Child Art Foundation. The download will be accessible beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
Jackson originally wrote the song in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Also taking part in the recording were 3LW, Anastacia, Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary, Nick Carter, Aaron Carter, Gloria Estefan, Billy Gilman, Hanson, Ziggy Marley, Ricky Martin, Reba McEntire, Mya, 'N Sync, Tom Petty, Jon Secada, Shakira, Thalía and Luther Vandross.
It is unknown why the song never saw an official release, which Jackson had initially hoped would raise as much as $50 million for 9/11-related relief organizations. Some reports suggested it never saw the light of day due to disagreements between Jackson and Sony Music, the parent company of his label, Epic Records. Jackson has publicly feuded with the company since the release of his 2001 studio album, "Invincible," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 but sold a disappointing 2.1 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Jackson performed the song on Oct. 21, 2001, at the star-studded United We Stand: What More Can I Give benefit concert in Washington, D.C. Produced by Clear Channel Entertainment, the event grossed about $3 million in ticket sales and benefited the Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and the Pentagon Relief Fund.
As previously reported, Jackson's biggest hits have been collected on "Number Ones," an 18-track CD or 15-track DVD. Due Nov. 18 via Epic, the CD will include the brand new single "One More Chance." The title is No. 59 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
