Raise It Up (August Rush song)
- Raise It Up (August Rush song)
"Raise It Up" is a 2007 (see 2007 in music) Academy Award-nominated song written by Jamal Joseph, Charles Mack and Tevin Thomas for the motion picture "August Rush". "Raise It Up" is performed in the film by Jamia Simone Nash and Impact Repertory Theatre, an African-American youth theatre group based in Harlem.[ [http://www.impactreptheatre.org/ Impact Repertory Theatre website] ] The song was produced by Joseph and Mack.][ [http://augustrushmovie.warnerbros.com/files/downloads/productionnotes/AUGUST_RUSH_PRODUCTION_NOTES.pdf "August Rush" production notes] ] ]In the film, August Rush (Freddie Highmore) wanders into Harlem and is drawn to a church by the voice of a young soloist named Hope (Nash) singing this song, which inspires him. Hope ultimately brings him to the attention of her pastor, Reverend James (Mykelti Williamson), who helps August further develop his talent.
"Raise It Up" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 80th Academy Awards; however, the nomination announcement originally said "Nominees to be determined". The production notes credit the song to the Impact Repertory Theatre as a whole[ [http://www.oscars.org/80academyawards/rules/rule16.html 80th Academy Awards, Rule 16 (music awards)] ] (This was the same rule that prevented Beyoncé Knowles from sharing in the Oscar nomination for her 2006 song "Listen" from "Dreamgirls", even though she co-wrote it.) The next day, the Academy updated its list to show Joseph, Mack & Thomas as the nominees.][ [http://www.oscars.org/80academyawards/nominees/index.html List of 80th Academy Awards nominees] ] ]On July 24, 2008 on Young and the Restless, the characters Devon Hamilton and Ana Hamilton (played by August Rush's Nash) sang this song in the gala.
