On Feb. 2, Walt Disney Records will continue the legacy of the 1970s album Free To Be You and Me by releasing the new CD A World of Happiness. The album consists of original songs, poems and skits from artists ranging from singer Lisa Loeb ("Stay") to actor George Wendt ("Cheers").

The CD's concept, described in a Walt Disney Records fact sheet, is that, "The life lessons facing children as they begin their socialization are the same ones they will face throughout adulthood. Learning how to respond to others with kindness and respect is one of the most valuable attributes a young person can cultivate, and all it takes is a little encouragement."

The compilation promises to nourish young mind through stimulating tracks featuring well-known celebrity personalities with positive messages and a compelling musical score.

The CD's title song, performed by singer Lou Rawls ("Tobacco Road"), teaches that happiness is attainable even when you don’t get what you want. The source of true happiness, according to the song, is being kind to others.

A percentage of proceeds from this project will benefit children's charities designated by each artist.
