The amount of talent in that room is absolutely staggering. Quincy Jones is a musical genius and a visionary to have the idea to create something so unique and put together this collaboration of musicians. It was never about the different genres, it was about being creative and helping out humanity. Never see anything like this again because talent like this doesn’t exist to stand the test of time like this. Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Dionne Warwick, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, Steve Perry, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis and the News…what music or musicians around today will be around for years and still make you feel good in 40 years?

This song is from 1985. There was a famine in Ethiopia. A lot of British singers got together at Christmas 1984 and recorded "Do They Know It's Christmas" under the group name "Band Aid". And all profits for the record went to famine relief. We Are The World was America's contribution to the effort. Later in1985 Live Aid took place in a few locations. Fun fact tomorrow will be the 36th anniversary of the recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas" Maybe you should celebrate the occasion.

This is my third time watching your reaction. So Hugely Emotional!!! The tears were flowing hard for me today, in a nostalgic happy way. It was a great part of my childhood, these were wonderful years for me. I believe I was in 6th grade when our entire school preformed this for the community. I grew up in Detroit and a lot was going on back then that this song had meaning to. 💖✌💚

I was 28 when "We Are The World" was released. I remember reading a story about Steve Perry. After recording, Steve's limo took him to the hotel and he (or his staff) ordered room service. He said he couldn't eat. All he could think of was the suffering in this world and his own luxuries made him sick with guilt. I tried to find this story online to be sure I'm remember correctly. Regardless, I was already a huge fan, but was so impressed with Steve Perry as a good human after that.

Nice story. I have another one I'd like to add. When Bob Geldof decided to put on the Live Aid concert he set up meetings with all the greatest bands and singers of the day. To help explain why he wanted to raise money and put on a charity concert, he'd show the a short video shot in Africa, showing the people struggling to eat and live. It was a great way to drive his point home and leave an impact. Every single music artist he asked rearranged their schedules and did what they had to in order to be a part of this charity concert. When Bob Geldof had a meeting with David Bowie, he asked if Bowie could sing 4 of his songs during his part of the concert. Bowie said that he would sing only 3 songs because he wanted to take some of his time to show the video that Bob Geldof had just showed him of the people in Africa. Bowie said he would not perform unless he was allowed to show that video, so they did. If you watch Live Aid, after Bowies performance, he introduces the video that runs while The Cars song Drive plays. People backstage said that after Bowie walked off stage he slumped off in a corner and sobbed. Bob Geldof said after that video aired, the amount of money people were donating surged to new heights. Here's a clip of Bowie and video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9SjaZRll7i-ZZc.html&ab_channel=LiveAidWizard
