NEW YORK - May 15, 2009 - NBC today released a special music video clip from NBC's "30 Rock" season three finale featuring a video message from show executive producer/writer/star Tina Fey and a star-studded musical performance of the original song, "He Needs a Kidney" on the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com).

The music video clip is available on the iTunes Store in the US for $.99. NBC, Universal Media Studios and Apple will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of all sales to the National Kidney Foundation.

In the May 14 finale titled, "Kidney Now," Grammy award-winning artists Sheryl Crow, Adam Levine, Mary J Blige, Elvis Costello, Clay Aiken, Norah Jones, Rhett Miller, Steve Earle, Rachael Yamagata, Moby, Michael McDonald, Wyclef Jean, Sara Bareilles, Cyndi Lauper, Robert Randolph, Ad-Rock, Mike D and Talib Kweli team up with Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) for a celebrity benefit concert in honor of Jack's father, Milton (guest star Alan Alda) who needs a new kidney. "30 Rock" music supervisor, Jeff Richmond, wrote and composed the song.

"The National Kidney Foundation is thrilled to partner with NBC, '30 Rock' and iTunes to raise awareness of the life-saving power of organ donation and funds to support key programs. The national transplant waiting list hit 100,000 this year for the first time, with 80,000 of those on the list waiting for kidneys. Most of these people will wait too long and too many will die while waiting," says John Davis, National Kidney Foundation CEO.  "When a primetime, Emmy award-winning show tackles this issue, millions of potential organ donors will pay attention. The National Kidney Foundation looks forward to the opportunity to educate viewers about organ donation and to raise funds through the music video sales for our new END THE WAIT! initiative that will find solutions to the nationwide organ shortage and end the wait for kidney transplants within 10 years," continues Davis.

Separately, fans of the multiple Emmy Award-winning comedy, one of the most popular shows on iTunes, can purchase full-length episodes of "30 Rock" on the iTunes Store.

Robert recently recorded Stevie Wonder’s song “Higher Ground” with gospel legends The Clark Sisters for a gospel album called OH HAPPY DAY.  The cd is only available at Walmart.

Chad from Switchfoot: "We dreamed up The Music Builds Tour along with a few friends of ours whose main commonality is a dream to see this world change for the better. Different bands, different backgrounds, one goal: A traveling festival to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. We think very highly of the people who listen to our music. We are grateful for the open minded audience who have embraced our songs and allowed us to push the boundaries of where the music can go. We invite you to put differences in musical taste aside and focus on our commonalities: we all want to see this world change for the better. We hope that you'll come with us on this next part of the journey and get involved in something much bigger than ourselves."
