Chris Botti Records Song For Animated Film

Chris Botti has recorded a song called “Chicago” with vocalist Lyle Lovett at the famed Capitol Studios in Los Angeles that will soon be heard in an computer-animated motion picture that the late actor Christopher Reeve was working on at the time of his death.

The movie, Everyone’s Hero, is an adventure telling the story of a young boy's 1,000-mile journey to find a baseball bat stolen from famed New York Yankees slugger Babe Ruth. The movie’s theme of perseverance against all odds was inspired by Reeve, its original director and executive producer, who was paralyzed after a horse riding accident and died in October of 2004. Among those lending their voice-over talents are Rob Reiner, William H. Macy, Raven, Dana Reeve and Whoopi Goldberg.

Everyone’s Hero is expected to be released in the U.S. on Sept. 15.
