Country Music Industry Helps "Save America's Eagles" The country music industry has always been generous to the American Eagle Foundation (AEF) in contributing time, talent and money. In February of 1995 that generosity was extraordinary. Nashville opened its doors and hearts to help produce a "Save The Eagle" theme song recording and music video for the AEF that aids the preservation of our National Symbol, the Bald Eagle. Some of the country music stars that participated were Ricky Skaggs, Lee Greenwood, Tanya Tucker, Deana Carter, Terri Clark, William Lee Golden, Johnny Lee, The Four Guys, Ricky Lynn Gregg, Bryan Austin, Robert Ellis Oral, Joy Lynn White, Deborah Allen and James Rogers. The resulting audio recording and music video debuted on the June 20th edition of The Nashville Network's Music City Tonight TV show, hosted by Crook and Chase. The entire show that night was dedicated to the Bald Eagle and its protection. That same summer, the song and video also aired on country music television and radio stations throughout the U.S.A. Funds raised from the sale and broadcast of the "Save The Eagle" audio recording and music video are placed in an AEF endowment fund for support of state, federal and private eagle restoration and protection efforts. The "Save the Eagle" song was composed by entertainer/songwriter James Rogers at the request of AEF Founder Al Cecere. James, an AEF board member and resident performing star at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN, donated 100% of the song copyright and proceeds from CD and music video sales to the AEF. Al Cecere traveled to Nashville in January of 1995, and rallied the donated support and participation of numerous recording artists, technicians, attorneys, record labels, production companies and other record industry leaders to produce the audio recording and music video. The "Save The Eagle" CD and video can both be purchased to assist the AEF and the eagle protection cause.
