With the Song 'Yes We Can' Barack Obama Gets a Little Help From His Friend ... Will.i.am, George Pajon, Jr. of the Black Eyed Peas Sings 'Yes We Can' About Obama

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The Black Eyed Peas members Will.i.am and George Pajon, Jr. collaboration "Yes We Can" spawned a viral Obama video directed by Jesse Dylan which has received over six million views since its release last week. The video is available for viewing on http://www.dipdive.com/, http://www.yeswecansong.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/

The song's lyrics come from the speech by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, delivered the eve of the New Hampshire primary, with music created by Will.i.am and guitarist George Pajon, Jr. The video and song features John Legend, Kate Walsh, Aisha Tyler, Amber Valletta, Taryn Manning, Nicole Scherzinger, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock, Nick Cannon, Amber Valletta, Adam Rodriguez, Alfonso Ribeiro, Austin Nichols, Ed Kowalczyk, Eric Balfour, Esthero, Harold Perrineau, Johnathon Schaech, Kelly Hu, Maya Rubin, Tatyana Ali and Tracee Ellis Ross.

On his blog, Will.i.am explains, "The outcome of the last 2 elections has saddened me...on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful, corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world and 'politics' are... And then came New Hampshire...And i was captivated...Inspired...I reflected on my life and the blessings I have and the people who fought for me to have these rights and blessings..."

Helen Yu, a Los Angeles entertainment attorney who has worked with the Black Eyed Peas and George Pajon, Jr. for the past decade, says, "I agree with Will. The choices are not as clear for this election, but we are blessed to have excellent choices in both Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has unprecedented experience, and Obama, both of whom can do great for things for this great country of ours."
