Voice Alumni Performs 'What The World Needs Now Is Love'

Some of our favorite contestants from The Voice come together for a very special performance of ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love.’

This 1965 song was composed by legendary musician Burt Bacharach and made popular by Jackie DeShannon. After its release, the song quickly shot to the top of the music charts.

Now, it’s a classic tune that has truly stood the test of time.

“Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.”

As our world walks through unprecedented times, the lyrics of ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love’ right ever so true.

Today, alumni from The Voice join together for a virtual performance during the Season 18 finale. You may recognize Kevin Farris, Lauren Duski, Jacob Maxwell, Alexa Cappelli, Jake Hoot, Mike Jerel, Ricky Duran and Britton Buchanan as they belt out these words of comfort.

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.”

As we watch these beautiful scenes shot from all over the country, we are reminded of the power of love and kindness. When we all come together, we can achieve so many great things. And during these times of fear and anxiety, a little bit of love can truly go a long way.
