Thanks for the reaction brother loved it and it was for such a good cause this song it was to raise money for African AID. That dude you love his voice is Bruce Springsteen he’s awesome and had so many awesome hits back in the 80s

When you hear people talk about the fact that popular music today is nothing like it used to be, this song is Exhibit A.

This project started with Harry Belafonte suggesting a concert to help with the famine in Ethiopia. It was scaled back to this amazing studio recording. The song was originally to be written by Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. But Stevie was working on an album and the manager suggested the writing be done by Richie and MJ. It was Quincy Jones who rounded up the talent. It was recorded after the American Music Awards and they were changing lyrics throughout the rehearsal. They put a sign on the door sa.ying "Leave your egos at the door." This became the #1 selling single for 1985. I love Michael Jackson, and he did a great job, but he can't be given sole credit for everything. We have Harry Belafonte to thank for this.

i miss Miichael man, he deserves to be here without the pain. Music today would be so much different with his presence

MJ all day every day. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love that you smiled at the part when Michael came in. That's the affect Michael and only Michael can give you and let you feel! Joy and happiness!!! Michael wrote the song. Lionel only added a line for which Michael credited him for. Of course a lyrical masterpiece with a deep message behind it by Michael himself. Who else could write them lyrics? This was Michaels message. " I don't sing it if I don't mean it " - Michael Jackson. I talked to my 15y/o brother yesterday about his fame. He said he'd love to be as famous as him. I've told him MANY stories of how they humiliated,falsely accused, tortured him and how he exactly died. How he lived and in what fear and danger he lived in. After that he said he'd never want be as famous as him and that he feel sorry for him. Rest in Peace to the most humble soul in history Michael Jackson!

When STEVIE SINGS..6:48 I cry.. The man cannot see.. But GOD GAVE HIM MUSIC AND A VOICE and HE CAN SEE so much...!!! His voice just BRINGS SOO MUCH JOY

“Yeah yeah yeah YEAHHH” oh Cyndi was feelin it.

The guy whose voice you liked was ‘The Boss’ - Bruce Springsteen. He was at the absolute height of his fame then. His entire back catalogue is worth exploring.

RIP to all the legends though that passed away 🙏🏼 Michael King of Pop. This is the kind of music and video we need today. That’s Bruce the voice you like

MJ chills everytime💯 He was a superhero. RIP.

My favorite music!! Kenny logins the best!!

React to Michael Jackson Billie Jean live Munich 97🔥🔥

Great reaction, will never see anything like this again. Song written by MJ and Lionel Richie, and awesome to see so many artists come together and sing from the heart, not for fame or money.

The man standing by Harry Belafonte is comic actor Dan Ackroyd. Dan was one of the early SNL cast members. And an awesome musician as well. He was half of SNL music/comedy duo the Blues Brothers with John Belushi. And in the middle of it all is 60's voice of his generation and counter-culture icon, Bob Dylan. FYI - his son Jakob Dylan fronted 90's singing sensation group The Wallflowers. Michael Jackson wrote this song and it was produced by Quincy Jones. Like others in the day, I counted down the days to watch it's debut on MTV or VH1. I don't remember which one. The pairing of Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen was genius. Their voices contrasted beautifully.

Soloists (in order of appearance) • 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 • Kenny Loggins • Steve Perry • Daryl Hall • Huey Lewis • Cyndi Lauper • Kim Carnes • Bob Dylan • Ray Charles

Quincy Jones did the arrangement/producer. Quincy Jones is the legend. MJ played a big role, though.

I love this GUY'S voice Bruce Springsteen 😬🤬

I also love the version of this WITH PAVAROTTI and FRIENDS.. and MARIAH CAREY and she is hitting HIGH NOTES In the CHORUS. it is AWESOME!

I was blessed to be a teenager when this came out.

The idea for doing this came from Harry Belafonte, who is one of the chorus singers. MJ and Lionel Richie wrote the song. Quincy Jones produced it and is conducting in the video. They got as many people as they could after the American Music Awards to come in and record. Most hadn’t heard the song until that day. The one person they asked to join and didn’t was Prince.

Michael Jackson wrote the song with Lionel Richie ,Quincy called all the artists ...all the artist there are pure legends...real talent..this song was brodcast by the whole radio stations at ones in all the world, at the same hour..and they made so much more for this project...in you tube there is a video , about 53 minutes, that shows all the story, and all the artist how they make it this...is behind the scenes " We are the world" wach it please, it s more and leas 40 ..50 min but totally deserv to wach...and you will listen : why, how, etc 🥰🥰🇷🇴🇷🇴👍🤴 r.i.p M.J the king 🤴👍🥰🙏

thank you for the honest reaction. So many legends in this. Some gone from this world as we know it... but forever engraved and time stamped in our memories. 🙌🙌🙌 we are the world!

Such a beautiful song 😭

Yaaasss!!.. Putting ALL Ur pain and suffering to GIVE TO SOMEONE ELSE IN NEED!!!... Spread the Love. Loved Ur Reaction pa!!... Bless u ALWAYS.. ✌❤🙏💯🌍😎👍👍

you would love the making of USA for africa.... it is sooooo good

I agree. Michael Jackson is who showed me that I never want to be famous! It's too much pressure! I do believe Michael was ordained to make music and perform. I don't think he could have done anything else with his life. But everybody wanted to be LIKE Michael. But nobody wanted to BE Michael Jackson because he paid a HIGH price to be who he was!!!

❤ Thank you so much ! All of legends in one room, I love this song !

Quincy Jones brought all these legends together

Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes and Cyndi Lauper are the best segment,,,,,,,tied with Ray Charles :)

Also, "Artists Against Apartheid - Sun City, "Do They Know It's Christmas = Band Aid".

How the song We Are The World came about. DEC 84 Bob Geldolf and Midge Ure got British Artist together to record in the studio Do They Know its Xmas single for the plight of Ethiopia as it had suffered the worst drought and famine ever. Bob and Midge came up with the idea. Hense asking USA to get involved Hense We are the World was recorded March 85 same way as the British Artist did, they met up and recorded it same day. This song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie Quincy Jones who produced this at the front directing got everyone together. Bob Geldolf and Midge then organised the best concert ever on the British side in a joint venture on the American side. Hense 13th July 85 Live Aid Concert for Africa. This concert was view all over the world. My opinion The best Concert put together and collaboration ever put together. I know I had a very sore head next day. My singing was really bad and of course I only had 1 drink that I am admitting to. Some of the artist involved in the songs. Quincy Jones, Lionel Ritchie, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Kenny logging, Al Jarreau, Steve Perry of Journey, Diana Ross, Whitney s aunt Dione Warwick, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Kenny Rodgers, Bob Dylan and I can't remember the rest 🇬🇧🇺🇸

This wasn't done by Michael Jackson nor was it originally performed by him. This event was put together by Harry Belafonte, who was not only a singing legend himself but a huge activist. He and Quincy Jones planned it and produced it. They assigned the writing of the song to Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. This song was only ever performed by the Super Group "USA for Africa" and all of the proceeds went to the African famine victims. The "dude" who's voice you liked is Bruce "The Boss" Springstein. another legendary voice that you should know.

This is my first time on your channel and I have to subscribe. Your reaction was absolutely beautiful. To see you feel this song and display such emotion is quite touching. I was 15 when this was done and I remember it so well. For all of these artist and their unique styles and voices to come together for such a great cause is humbling and beautiful. I had all of MJ's records as well as most if not all of the other artists. He was a beautiful man with a voice so soothing and lovely. To see a newer generation discovering and appreciating music from back then is amazing. I look forward to watching your other videos. We need more if this today. Thank you for sharing.

With everything going on in the world right now (COVID-19, another earthquake in Haiti and the siege of the Taliban) another version of this iconic humanitarian song is due, in my opinion.

Darn That Song Never Gets Old 😮

Yes, MJ and Lionel wrote the song. Both are a big part of this but Quincy was the one who put all this together, the song and the superstars together, and made it work so brilliant. The Stevie/Bruce part is awesome.

Proud to be a Terran!

O maior artista de todos os tempos!! MJ. 👑

It was written by both The King Of Pop & The King Of Love Songs Lionel Richie. Both of them together, then produced by Quincy Jones.

I love your reaction to this! This was one of my favorite songs and I remember when it aired on TV. Still have it on my playlists today. I can close my eyes and tell you every person who is singing. Thank you for this. 💕

From the time when MJ was a child he never had a normal life after that’s

I was 11 when this came,e out and it still gives me chills!

That’s Bruce Spingteen the goat

🤘❤🤘 Enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful song. It was written by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie and composed by Quincy Jones. I was 13 when this song & video came out and it was MASSIVE.

Next Reaction Alamat - Kasmala

It was not an original with MJ, he did the demo of it. The original was this one. It was done to raise money to help out with the famine in Africa. Harry Belafonte, Quincy Jones and Lionel Ritchie organized it and brought MJ in. Give proper credit to the ones that deserve it.

Great 👌👌👌👌👌👌💯💯💯💯💓

Bruce Springsteen sings with Stevie Wonder

Great reaction man

This song was a follow up to the UK song from Band Aide - Do they know it's Christmas. Bob Geldof started this whole thing from the Boom Town Rats. No yank started this.

React to. Too Much Heaven No More.. By the Bee Gees. They're voices are instruments.. For Real.

I remember everyone I knew glued to the TV for the premiere of this. The next day e we Gone was talking about it. We need more of this these days and I love to see young ppl getting to enjoy and share it. Also, anyone who doesn't love Stevie Wonder has a screw loose! 😍

thank you sir

Lo mejor de lo mejor, que voces más hermosas todas y cada una de ellas. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile

Maravilloso.

Ot wasn't just MJ. Lionel ritchie wrote the song and called alot of these people himself. The first call he made was to his best friend.........Kenny Rogers!!!

Different generations have tried to dupicate the greatness of this original 80's ensemble, and although USA for Haiti and others were great, they weren't as special as this original! The 80's was dynamite!!

I’m getting addicted to your reactions! Awesome!

Hi GFAM, I just watched your reaction to this video and subscribed . This is a great reaction... your expressions and thoughtful words made this enjoyable . I hope you see my comment here... I am not sure if you have seen the "Do They Know It's Christmas" video yet . It is another group of Legendary music artist... that are mostly from Europe . it was formed by Bob Geldof and started a concert you might have heard of "Live Aid" for famine relief in Ethiopia . The music video of "Do They Know It's Christmas" is exceptional and I hope you give it a reaction . Thank you for this video reaction .

Good video

4:40 - it's kinda true... not totally, but he was one of the reasons, sure... they would do this without Mike, but with him there, is completely another thing...

I loved it

You should do "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid. This British super group put this song out before "We Are the World". Same cause.

Bruce springsteen is actually voice of God

Great reaction. Do some Bob Dylan..

Actually none of this would have happened if it wasn’t for Bob Geldof. Not because of Belafonte, Michael or Quincy.

I will forgive you for deena Ross

With this performance i always have the feeling that you can't top the artist before. like it starts with freaking Lionel Ritchie and Stevie Wonder. Every other artist would have said, oke im done.. but from there it gets better, and better, and better, etc, etc. etc....

Thinking about what the world put Michael Jackson through, burns my soul. It’s true that money doesn’t buy happiness… and I would submit that his opulent wealth + even MORE opulent heart, made him vulnerable to opportunistic pieces of shit people. Healthy people don’t alter their appearances to the extent that he did…. But apparently he found surgeons who were unethical enough to prioritize their bank accounts over their Hippocratic oath…. and instead of concern from the public he endured possibly the worst cyber- and media bullying in the history of telecommunications. Don’t even get me started on what he was accused of. I’ll just say that I believe the jury got it right…. but I also believe the court of public opinion handed down a death sentence. And his death…. Every ICU and OR nurse on the planet knows YOU DON’T GIVE PROPOFOL TO ANYONE NOT ON A VENTILATOR…. But he had a physician giving it in his HOME?? The one consolation is that his death was probably very peaceful. 😢 Rant over… I’ve fallen down this rabbit hole of We Are the World reactions, and seeing this once-in-creation masterpiece, created by this once-in-creation master.. and I’m emotional. 😭

ok your reaction was good but I am going to correct you it was not I repeat not michael jackson who got these people together he just wrote the song with Lionel richie it was bob gheldolf and quincy jones who got the together and they put up a note at the door that said leave your ego at the door and they all did but Quincy is the only person that had the clout to bring these people all together michael was very good but did not have that kind of clout in the industry at that time

Magical, right?

DAn aykroyd :)

My didn't bring them together that was lionel richie + bob geldof

The only legend I ever seen was Billy Joel

7:37 Don't recognize Bruce Springsteen?

Michael Jackson didn’t bring them all together

That guy singing at the same time as stevie wonder is bruce springsteen he has a good voice i just dont like his music personally there was also dianna ross steve perry from journey cyndi lauper billy joel hall and oats paul simon kenny rodgers quincy jones lionel richie thats all i know and tina turner

No not Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones!!!

Michael was great but unfortunately did not bring this together

Micheal Jackson didn't do this. Linel Richie set this up

Ok I get you like MJ but come in his part in this was okay Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen stole it
