"The Today Show: Best Of The Summer Concert Series, Vol. 1," which NBC Records releases Aug. 22, will chronicle several of the top performances that have taken place over the past six years from the show's Rockefeller Plaza outdoor stage in New York.
Among the artists on the album are Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, Hootie & the Blowfish, the Pretenders, and the Doobie Brothers. The album will feature a new song from Sixpence None The Richer titled "Us." The band recorded the track live in St. Louis, but will perform it Aug. 30 on the "Today" show. A studio version of the track will be the first single from the group's next album.
The album is a joint venture between the newly formed NBC Records and Redline Entertainment, Best Buy's independent record label. Some of NBC's proceeds from the album will go to the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, which was co-founded by "Today" co-host Katie Couric and Lily Tartikoff, whose husband, Brandon, was president of NBC. Both Couric and Tartikoff lost their husbands to cancer.
