I was born in 1979 and our whole class sang this at one time,,,,, I was Cindy Lauper, white chic with the loud voice, and there was no bias................ the world is going crazy but this brings me back to when I was young and life was simple.... not from famine but everybody hating while people.

Quincy Jones did such a fantastic job placing artists together. People who are so different sounding, sound absolutely amazing together. I love Bruch Springsteen and Stevie Wonder together, they just sound so good.

Yeah, Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen. Please react to some of his songs. So many unique, great, beautiful, emotional and masterpieces of songs that guy has blessed us with!

Something like this today could NEVER be replicated. Not with what passes as musical "talent" today as far as mainstream.

nowadays there are few singers who can sing without autotune, that's why it's impossible nowadays to do such a thing

As African from South African we really appreciate such songs since day one

I love Stevie & Bruce’s duet!

The two guys you asked about, the white guy was Bruce Springsteen and the black guy towards the end was James Ingram.

That's Bruce Springsteen singing with Stevie Wonder

I was working in radio at the time this song was released. It was a huge deal. One of the things that has been largely forgotten since the release of this record is that every radio station in America -- regardless of format -- stopped and played this song at the same time. The record was embargoed from airplay, and when it popped, you could go up and down your radio dial and virtually every single station was playing it, all at once. What a debut! And then right about that same time, there was the "Hands Across America," where people from coast-to-coast stood in a long line, holding hands, to form a continuous chain of humanity from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A friend of mine and I were playing golf that day, and we broke our round short to go stand in that line on Highway 80 West in Arlington, Texas (in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex) just to say we were part of it. Those were pretty amazing times.

“Even though we’re all so different we can come together as one.” Best explanation I’ve ever heard of this song.

The era of goats I still remember when i used to wait for this song every evening on radio i was 8 years old beautiful days

It'd be tough to replicate this today. There was an attempt in '94 for Haiti, but it didn't feel the same; didn't feel unified. The sign on the way in said "Leave Your Egos At The Door"; no one tried to outshine eachother, they just tried to do the song & service justice. Also, Quincy Jones is the MVP, here. His arrangement of solos, duets, and harmonies are what make this so incredible.

"We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the eighth-bestselling physical single of all time.

Look up the reason for this song. It was a time that we in america just found out that children were starving in Africa.. we didnt know.. All the proceeds were sent to help the starving children. It raised about 75 million.. back in 1985

Not only are the individual singers Goats in their particular genres, but so are those singing in the chorus. 😁😊😍

I watched this live on TV. We taped it on our VCR and I watched it over and over again. I was about 7 or 8. I'm white and grew up in a mostly white suburb and was obsessed with Michael Jackson. I was rasied to not judge people based on race, sex or sexual orientation and that we were all equal. This was the message I was taught... Better times.

That's Quincy Jones conducting. He was the mastermind behind this!

This was the 80s, when everyone was trying to put race behind us and to come together to build a better world.

Probably the greatest (most talented) vocals collaboration ever. Every single vocalist here has put out music worth reacting to. Unfortunately, you don't know who they all are. You won't be disappointed if you were to do some research. Looking forward to your reactions.

I can stil remember being a kid watching this when it 1st debuted. Still an amazing colab to date. You won't ever see a group like this again.

This song was made on the spur of the moment. Quincy Jones is the director and a musical Icon

4:10 That guy is Bruce Springsteen

This was straight magic, all egos were checked at the door and they sang for a good cause. There were many big names that didn't get a solo and had no problem being in the background such as Harry Belafonte, Smokey Robinson, Lindsey Buckingham, Better Midler, June Pointer (the Pointer sisters) and more. It still brings tears to my eyes, its too bad, we as a nation do not have this unity right now.

Bruce and Stevie's duet will forever be the best part about this song!

A few dozen of the most talented singers on the planet combining their gifts to help some people who really needed it at the time. It should happen more often.

USA for Africa We Are The World 🌎 the song was recorded on January of 1985 and released on March of 1985 my opinion this is one of the greatest songs of all time this song 🎵 is still relevant even till this day in #2023

There is no Michael Jackson "version" - this is the one and only with Michael in it - he wrote it and Quincy Jones brought them all together to do this incredible performance.

So many legends, from so many different genres. You had rock, folk, R&B/Motown, country, pop... And some of the greatest and most unique voices in the industry all blending together yet retaining their individual sound and style.

Best reaction of any I've seen. Emotion pours out all over her whole face, especially her eyes. Great job!

I remember when this came out. I thought it was the greatest thing I'd heard.

This generation doesn't have the talent to do something like this This is the best of the best you have Country - Rock - folk -JAZZ BLUES- SOUL- POP there are artists from the 60s 70s 80s in one room

We Are the World" opens with Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, and Billy Joel singing the first verse. Michael Jackson and Diana Ross follow, completing the first chorus together. Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, and Al Jarreau sing the second verse, before Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, and Daryl Hall go through the second chorus.Co-writer Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, and Kim Carnes follow with the song's bridge. We Are the World" concludes with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles singing a full chorus, Wonder and Springsteen duetting, and ad libs from Charles and Ingram.

The Fun part about watching this is trying to Identify all the Singers, and TRUE 80's Connoisseurs can even Identify the Choir Members that didn't get a spotlight. There was even a GHOSTBUSTER in there!

Rip Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Waylon Jennings, June Pointer and Anita Pointer, Anita Pointer was June Pointer sister she died on December 31 2022 from cancer, June Pointer died on April 11 2006 from cancer Waylon Jennings joined with USA for Africa to record We Are the World, but he left the Studio because of a dispute over the song's lyrics that were to be sung in Swahili, He was in a band called the Highwayman with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, Waylon and Johnny were Roommates, Waylon Jennings died on February 13 2002 from complications of diabetes he was 64, Johnny Cash died on September 12 2003 four months after his wife June Carter Cash death he was 71

Today's artist aren't remotely as talented as the legends in this song. Modern music artist simply aren't capable of replicating anything this beautiful

My favourite parts are Springsteen and Wonder duetting together and James Ingram’s last chorus. The part were he says “so let’s start giving” always gives me chills.

Now a days in 2024 we dont even come close to the amount of Talent in the good old days.

Thing most people don't know is that the artists were asked to join in at an award show so this was started around 1am and didn't finish till after 6am. No one was paid, they volunteered their time. Unfortunately half of the artists here have passed away.

Your energy and unbiased ear reviewing this song along with your interest to know who everyone is (especially Bruce Springsteen and James Ingram)alone equals instant subscriber and fan. And your attitude and how you moved with the song equals =Sexy Lady.

Loved your reaction to this song. That room was filled with Legends.

There is a song "American Pie" - (The day the music died) about a plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens in 1959. It occurred to me - that if a plane had crashed into the studio where they were recording - it would have taken about 50 huge stars away from us. That would have truly been the day the music died.

“We Are the World” was the fastest-selling single in U.S. history when it came out in 1985, and was the first single ever to go multiplatinum. It was the best-selling single of 1985 and was the best-selling single of the entire decade of the 1980s. It is the eighth best-selling physical single of all time.

10:10 the most underrated singer here. James Ingram.

Almost all of these featured Artists were iconic in their day..please check out Bruce Springsteen, (the one that came in hard), Steve Perry from Journey, and Hall and Oates (Blue eyed soul). They have so many good ass songs. You'll appreciate this way more after you do.

As a man who was young when this came out, I can say this song was great to open the new year with good vibes. But after 30 years I wish it hit the same to people out there 💯💓

The man that came in at the 5:00 minute mark on your reaction video is Steve Perry from Journey. That band made some of the best pop music from the end of the 70’s into the 80’s. Check out Faithfully and Don’t Stop Believing (live from Houston ‘81). You will NOT be disappointed. Keep krankin’ reactions. You make a difference.

I LOVE the 80s...it was a great time to be alive musically... for REAL!!

Can't not believe that this song & music video of WE ARE THE WORLD 🌏will be 38 Years old in March of this year ❤💯

On the morning of April 5, 1985 (Good Friday of that year) at 3:50 pm GMT, over 8,000 radio stations simultaneously broadcast the song around the world. As the song was broadcast, hundreds of people sang along on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. We Are the World" raise more than $80 million ($222 million today) for humanitarian aid in Africa and the United States.

It's the kind of collab that will never happen again, at least in our lifetime.

After a night at the Grammy’s they came together to do this. It was amazing!

Ashkey "Listen" - A gigantic song written by Lionel Ritchie and Michael Jackson, directed by the equally legendary Quincy Jones. Bringing all these stars and legends together is a significant achievement. As far as I know, after the release more than 25 million dollars were raised and donated to Africa. A song that will last forever!

Another song to check out that was for a certain cause was the song "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick ft. Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Gladys Knight. If you've never heard this song before, you definitely will not be disappointed.

Are there enough artists in today's world who have the voice to do something like this live? Without studio assistance?

I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this. And while I know you don't know all the artists, rest assured every single one of them is a superstar. In order of appearance, they are: Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen (the one you asked about), Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles. The chorus included these artists (alphabetically): Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belavonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Mario Cipollina (of Huey Lewis & the News), Johnny Colla (of Huey Lewis & the News), Sheila E., Bob Geldof, Bill Gibson (of Huey Lewis & the News), Chris Hayes (of Huey Llewis & the News), Sean Hopper (of Huey Lewis & the News), Jackie Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Bette Midler, John Oates, Jeffrey Osborne, Anita, June and Ruth Pointer (the Pointer Sisters), Smokey Robinson. The project was produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, and the group was conducted by Quincy Jones. Interestingly, 25 years later, an updated version of the song with a whole new batch of artists was done to raise money for Haiti, and that version is quite remarkable as well. Like the original, it includes a wide array of diverse stars from the music world, and even expands to include a verse done in rap. Any time you can get both rap and Tony Bennett all in one song, it's a must-listen. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZZ-md2ezLTag3U.html

These are some of the artists of the 80's...80's had the best must point blank...you should look at list of all of them and do some of their songs

Bruce Springsteen had this amazing album "Born in the U.S.A" in 1984 which only had like 1 or 2 songs that weren't released as singles. Does anybody else like me have their favourite song from that album being "Bobby Jean"? 🥰

We are the world 25 for Haiti was good too

Lionel Richie - 0:26 Stevie Wonder - 0:39 Paul Simon - 0:43 Kenny Rogers - 0:53 James Ingram - 0:59 Tina Turner - 1:06 Billy Joel - 1:13 Michael Jackson - 1:19 Diana Ross - 1:32 Dionne Warwick - 1:48 Willie Nelson - 2:02 Al Jarreau - 2:09 Bruce Springsteen - 2:15 Kenny Loggins - 2:21 Steve Perry - 2:28 Daryl Hall - 2:36 Huey Lewis - 2:48 Cyndi Lauper - 2:54 Kim Carnes - 3:02 Bob Dylan - 3:48 Ray Charles - 4:27 “We Are the World” Chorus (alphabetically) Dan Aykroyd Harry Belafonte Lindsey Buckingham Mario Cipollina Johnny Colla Sheila E.

I doubt there will ever be another collection of artists like this again.

All proceeds from this went to Africa for the people there who were experiencing a severe draught and people were dying by the thousands!! This money bought water and food for these people........... love will come back tenfold !

James Ingram. Wow. Just wow. RIP, but wow, what a voice.

The Making Of video puts me in awe of the stamina of these artists. So many of them coming straight from an awards show; others flying in just to make this video. Music they've neither seen nor heard til they got in the studio. Michael tirelessly demo singing parts of it til his peers get the melody straight. Consummate professionals, masters of their craft, putting conviction into their voices!

That man is Bruce Springsteen. The Boss👍 . Love your reaction to this once in a lifetime happening. I was 24 when this came out and I remember when it premiered on MTV😀 Great times in the 80s❤

The “That’s What Friends Are For” live performance with Dionne Warwick Luther Vandross Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder is an amazing performance definitely worth the watch also years ago we had artist come together to do a song for Haiti based off this

Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen are one of the most unlikely pairing, but the contrast in their voices was awe inspiring. And l can never get enough of Ray Charles what a treasure he is. Another pairing l loved was Dion Warwick and Willie Nelson. Need to check out Willie and Ray singing Seven Spanish Angels live. Thanks for your reaction.

Hi Ashley great to view your reaction. The raspy voice is none other than 'The Boss' Bruce Springsteen. Worth reacting to him and the E Street Band. You can't beat Clarence Carter on the saxophone, the greatest exponent I have ever seen! 🙂

That gritty voice on the white guy singing with Stevie is Bruce Springsteen...

I was a teenager when this came out. We all got along back then. I hate that the media says we didn't. Don't believe everything the media says.

This was a beautiful collaboration; still feels me with hope today!!!!

Simply the best legends ever the cream of the cream in the history of USA music. All of them.

Young lady welcome to the greatest talents in music history from the greatest decades. Pre 2000's

Ashley, you are so young, beautiful and innocent. I say that with the kindest of respect. I loved watching your reaction as much as enjoyed watching We Are The World live along with the rest of the world back in 1985. Of course I am from a different generation. It is adorable that you have no idea who many of the artists are. They were the tops in their field at the time. You should look up information about the recording, and who the artist were. I think you will be surprised that you have probably heard a lot of their music, if you had ever listened to classic rock. These were wonderful times back then when we did not have so many of the struggles that the world is experiencing now. I believe my generation in many ways were the founders so to speak of we want all people, from all walks of life, from all over the world to be considered as one. One people no matter of race, creed, religious beliefs, and so on. They were good times, and I am so happy to watch you experience such a monumental time in my generations history. Peace and love my friend.

There are hundreds of reactions to this out there. Even with you not knowing a lot of these singers, your reaction is the Best. Period.

they'll never be a song or video like this ever again with so many amazing iconic musician's in one place

Thanks for appreciating the best Collab of artistes of the70s, 89s even 60 - Ray Charles. It was a hit when were young adults in the 80s. Much thanks for appreciating good music spreading this to your generation!

You may already know this, but after the Haiti earthquakes, they did actually re-record We Are the World as an updated version with modern artists like Pink and many others. Check it out!

"Tears are not enough" and "Don't they know it's Christmas" are other multi artist "Band-Aid" type tracks. Uplifting fo sho

They had one 25 years later called USA for Haiti with more younger current singers, even all the rappers.

The eighties were a great era when we care for our fellow humans. This was for Africa famine relief like Band-Aid out of Britain! There were others aid groups too like Farm Aid to help the farmers who were losing their farms!

*********GOOD Choice! With STEVIE is BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN! This Unmatched Group of Artists raised $75 MILLION for the FAMINE in AFRICA.

At my age, it's fun to watch young folks react to this and see how many people they can identify.... :)

You should check out the first charity record for Ethiopia from 1984. 'Feed The World' (let them know it's Christmas) by a group of British artists who joined forces as 'Band Aid'. The 'Live Aid' world wide transmitted, simultaneous concerts in Wembly Stadium England and the JFK stadium in Philly followed a year later in 85. Queen stole the show!

I never NOT choke up watching this one. Part of it is nostalgia. But also, as a counter to all of cynicism out there, there was a major famine happening in Ethiopia that was very visible to the West. And this song was part of a massive fundraiser and organized movement to move heaven and Earth to get food and water to people in total desperation. And its not hard to imagine that these people, no matter what was going on privately, did this in an act of giving and joy. Just the best of what we humans can do for one another.

New School did one for Haiti 🇭🇹 but it ain’t touching this at all you will never see a collective like this in the history of music this is so legendary I was 8 years old when this came out and the world literally stopped and bought attention to what was going on in Africa I remember when it world 🌎 premiered this is the only song that brings me to tears 😭 my mom died of COVID complications in 2022 and I grew up ⬆️ on this

They where the greatest artists of that time. It was special. From Michel Jackson to Ray Charles. All those people where famous. The british had a thing like that. That was the Christmas song. But there have been alot of those superstars too.

The companion piece to this song/video is obviously Live Aid, which was literally tbe biggest thing on the planet. Everyone watched, all day, while concerts went on in the US and the UK on the same day. Living legends appeared on stage, and I cannot overstate the hugeness of the event. For a minute, it seemed like we all might be able to come together and do something for people who could never repay or thank us, or anything. Probably sounds stupid, now. But it was a pretty amazing phenomenon, and mostly a GOOD one.

This is the original version written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. This was the very first one.

Okay . . . Love it when you say "this is really old" . . . I'm tryin' not to take that personally . . . but this could never be reproduced. Another time, absolute talents that will never again exist. Magical moments like this are one time events!

Springsteen's born in the USA album came out when I was in high school and it still ranks number 1 on my all time favourite albums , followed by the 3rd guy Paul Simon's Graceland , both albums worth checking out

Check out “we are the world Haiti” ! Done in the mid 1990’s after the hurricane tragedy. Lots of next generation singers.

To this day it amazes me to see Dan Aykroyd among these fine artists 7:29

On Good Friday, 10:50 AM, 1985... 25 Nations, MTV, Voice of America and 1,100 radio stations in the USA interrupted their broadcast programming to play this recording. Btw.. Cindi Lauper hit it out of the park on her part.

If you haven't, check out Band Aid "Do They Know it's Christmas" That song started the whole aid to Ethiopia.
