Peter Allen sings "Love Don't Need a Reason" on AIDS Awareness Test
Peter talks about the genesis of writing the song with Marsha Malamet and Michael Callen and then performs a brief version.
The National AIDS Awareness Test was a network television special featuring a "test format" that allows viewers to answer 50 questions on AIDS, after which answers, based on the latest medical research, are given. The program, presented without commercial interruption, features discussions on AIDS origin, transmission, prevention, and treatment, as well as the social and legal issues engendered by the disease. Also included is a public opinion survey containing questions about such issues as the need for HIV testing and people's attitudes toward AIDS victims in schools and workplaces. Participants in the special include medical authorities, concerned celebrities, and politicians.
