X Factor winner Louisa Johnson and Emeli Sande, awarded an MBE this week for services to music, were among those spotted at Sarm music studios for the project.
Organiser Simon Cowell said he hoped the single, a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's hit Bridge Over Troubled Water, will raise millions to help those caught up in Wednesday's blaze.
Johnson said: "The amount of people that have actually agreed to it and gone out of there way to do it is incredible, especially how busy some of these people are.

"To be frank I don't care what it sounds like, it's just about doing something good."
