Clay Aiken seems to have many fans that are women. They range in age from pre-teens to grandmothers. Each one should be wearing red today.
Today is National Wear Red Day, a part of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, and is a simple, but powerful, way to call attention to heart disease and stroke.
Heart disease often is thought of as a “man’s disease,” but it is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the U.S., and women account for 52 percent of the total heart disease deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The stark reality is that one in three women will die of heart disease.
The Go Red for Women movement strives to educate women about their risk for heart disease and stroke, how to recognize signs of a heart attack or stroke and how to live healthier lives in an attempt to prevent heart disease and stroke.
The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Web site has an incredible amount of information.
How smart the founders of this project were to choose the month of February to celebrate the day. After all, February is well-known for being the month of love.
That makes me think of love songs…..especially love songs sung by Clay Aiken.

Thank you for this timely post.
And…………I love romance for Clay Aiken. No body sings love songs better than he does.
Thanks for the reminder of Wear Red Today. February is the month of love and Clay Aiken can sure sing the love songs!
Thanks for the Wear Red Today reminder. Clay certainly can sing those love songs. After watching those two video's I am just swooning. Can't help it…his singing always does that to me…and I love it. Those are two great love songs. I have always loved Something About Us from his OMWH cd. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You was always my favorite in the 60's also. Thank you for the article and the video's. You can never watch too many Clay Aiken video's.
Musicfan,
Thank you for the informative blog about heart disease awareness. February is a very appropriate month and so are the songs of Clay Aiken.
Happy Wear Red Day!
