Hey you did great overall. Kenny Loggins was one of the artists you didn’t know and who you should react to at some point.

You said you still have trouble figuring out which ones Hall and Oates? just remember Hall is the first name in the group and the lead singer.

We're all here learning. Some of us on the hip-hop side. Some on the new stuff. Some with the classics. No roast required. But if you really need one, that was ignorant, sir. Respectfully.

Timestamps and artists involved for you.

I cringed when you didn't know Bob Dylan the great revolutionary voice of the 60s. Shukran from Africa 🇰🇪

Thankyou so much for this❤❤❤

I’ll have to rewatch and look for my favorite outlaw, Waylon Jennings !

Thank you

I'm 71 and recognized almost every one of the singers and a lot of the backup singers. What I loved about this reaction was the response and how many of them he recognized. Way more than any other reactor I've watched. Black Pegasus really pays attention to the artists he reacts to and knows greatness when he sees it. I love seeing artists from the past getting their due, and not being forgotten. KZfaq is truly a wealth of great music.

Phil Collins was on drums

Facts 😊

I was coming to the comments to say exactly this! ❤

@@kimberlygrimm7007 Me too! Just realized, 3 Kim's think alike! 👍

What is it called? I would love to watch❤

Agreed. The doc is called “The Greatest Night in Pop”

Michael and Lionel were great song writers amongst other things.

Lionel Richie was also living in kenny Roger's guest house when he wrote this and kenny was one of the first ones called to Participate.

Quincy Jones was the producer, as weill as the conductor. Credit should go to him.

Yep, that was Quincy's idea. One of the greatesr producers ever. He was responsible for Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall", "Thriller" and "Bad" albums among others. If he was involved you put the album on your list before you heard the first song.

Great way to put it!

Bruce was more gravelly even than normal, he went from the last show on his tour, onto a plane, straight to this. You can hear it

I’d rather be 23 and not know them …. But I’m not ☹️

I am 54 - all of them look familiar but there are few that the names just wouldn't come to me right away, so I had to go and look it up!

Me too, 63

Im 27 & know 90% of these. The younger generation will carry the torch

66 here

Live Aid: Hold my beer

@@suvijii841 Band Aid...but I knew what you meant.

@@paulhenderson8201 Nope, I meant the Live Aid concert. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Aid

@@suvijii841 Yeah, Band Aid was the group of Brits who sang "Do They Know It's Christmas" while Live Aid was the UK-US concert.

Huey Lewis, Cyndy Lauper Kim Carnes Kenny Loggins Quincy Jones A Few You Didn't Recognize

Ditto!

I’m 20 and i know all of them because i grew up on them

I agree at 67!

Was right after a music award. Michael didn't attend it as he was there recording his solo and getting things ready

I'm 64 and also remember waiting for this song to come out. The black gentleman in the back with the white sweater was Henry Belafonte, an incredibly gifted artist. This song was the whose who in every music genre of the past decade.

Every solo artist was a Grammy winner!! Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel must hear Sound of Silence! He also performed that song at opening of Ground Zero Memorial. You didn’t mention Lionel!!!!! Kenny Loggins did Footloose and Highway to the Danger Zone from Top Gun! You must do Cyndi Lauper (crazy hair) true colors or time after time! You did awesome! Thank you❤❤❤

The ego situation is the very reason that Prince chose not to collaborate unfortunately.

Fact

Nope, that was Band Aid

@@andrewharrington6953 That was equally great, Ok American artists

I agree with you!

Nope... this OLD GenXer (1966) 💯 disagrees.​@@andrewharrington6953

What about Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes? Have you watched it?

Yea right !

It may have gone to Africa, but not to feed hungry children.

@@starman2337You have any proof of that?

@@karenpowell6063 It's been established that much of the money raised went to the brutal dictator of Ethiopia, Mengistu. Ethiopia were in a civil war and Mengistu was responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 people in his 'resettlement marches'. He used the money from the West to buy modern, sophisticated weapons from Russia which he used to crush his enemies and make life worse for the people of Ethiopia. No food crossed the front lines and it is no coincidence that following Band Aid, Live Aid and USA for Africa, Ethiopa had the largest standing army in Africa and according to US Intelligence reports had employed chemical warfare and nerve gas on their own people. Bob Geldof and the people involved in these famine relief efforts all meant well and I've no doubt that some of the money reached the places it was supposed to (especially when Western cameras accompanied the aid), but they but had no idea how the politics of Africa worked, and there was no chance of all of that money and aid reaching the people it was supposed to, since Geldof had insisted on having oversight of the funds and dealing with the African leaders directly instead of handing the funds to established charities working in the area.

You didnt notice the other people because you didnt know them!

I was with you until the last sentence! There are plenty that would be more than willing to do something like this again!

Still a rip off of Band Aid from a year previous

@@bkm2797 maybe I am jaded by the crap on our radio these days. I'm sure there are several artists that would be willing. But I do not believe we will ever see this again because industry is hell bent on pushing all energy into music filled with sex, vulgarity, violence and hate. There are a few out there with kindness and love to express I agree. Things have changed so much. I can name 100 songs about love, beauty, compassion inspiring conversations about change for the better and more than likely less than 5 came out in the last 12 to 15 years.

ms.lisamarie82 I don't listen to the radio because so much is just as you say, and has been this entire new century. What I'm hoping is young people are getting fed up with the dirt and darkness and the illiterate music that shocks instead of bringing any kind of hope. Let it fade away, and real music become the major part of the industry again. You may not agree, but Taylor has certainly proven that clean music with real musicians is what the majority want to hear. So sadly you may be right in finding enough for a cause isn't in the cards.

He legit has one of the finest voices in all of popular music.

He also recorded a song with Steve Perry, Don't Fight It, a fun, feel good song.

Your Heart Will Lead You Home is a favorite of mine.

He sang Danger Zone, but it was written by Giorgio Moroder & Tom Whitlock.

Agreed. He's been a fave of mine since his Loggins & Messina days.

I agree 👍

Amen

im watching all kind of reaction videos all the time and he's great most pause alot more and dont say anything smart, he's got my vote just for not doing this xd

And Kenny Loggins

So true!!

BP may have not know Kenny Loggins,but my GUESS is he would recognize his song...FOOT LOOSE!

Steve and Kenny were nominated for a Grammy in 1983 for their collaboration on 'Don't Fight It.' Pat Benatar's hubby, Neil Giraldo is on lead guitar. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbCKnNBexJfVhYU.html

I just fell instantly in love with Steve Perry about a week ago lol so I'm new here too and his freakout at Steve made me squeal! lol

then there was "Farm Aid" later, but that was garbage in comparison...

and Ronnie James Dio and Heavy Metal friends did one called "Hear 'n Aid"

FACTS!

Well done!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Included in the chorus without having lines of their own are Harry Belafonte, Sheila E, Bob Geldof, The Pointer Sisters, all of The News (from Huey Lewis and the News), most of the Jackson family (Marlon, Tito, LaToya, Randy, Waylon and Jackie), Bette Midler, John Oates (of Hall & Oates) Smokey Robinson, Linsey Buckingham and Dan Aykroyd (I guess as half of the Blues Brothers) That's a scary amount of talent in one room. If I forgot anyone, please add them

was gonna post this so glad you did

I love that you took the time to break it out. I hope BP sees this post! He’s done reactions to a bunch of these people

I remembered each one!! ❤

He was the bomb -he had it going on

Agreed. His voice was pure gold. So powerful, and such a beautiful tone.

F.A.C.T.S.!!!! It is SOOO painful that NO ONE knows James Ingram!!!!! He was SOO AWESOME!!!!

And the theme to Moonlighting.

I doubt that it's random. He likely knew that the song was performed by a woman w/ colorful hair.

Kenny Loggins is also the one he didn't know

Me too 😊

I was still 13 in 1985 when We Are the World got radio play and I sang along to it.

I remember radio stations doing contests of name all the artists in order

Harry Belefonte is the one that set the whole concept up. His family was upset at his passing no mention at the Grammys of the effort he had put forth to make this happen

@@philipstidstone390 actually it was the guy who set up band aid in Europe.

Bob geldof

Band Aid and Live Aid, yes! Go for it!

I was wondering which one came first!

Yes that was made to releave a horrific famine in Africa The British singers that started it made sure the money was spent on the people for whom it was intended

Fantastic!! It was going too fast for me to jot them down for BP.

That is not the complete list, but you can google it.

That is not the exact order but they are all there!

Rip off of Band Aid "Do they know it's Christmas"

His loss for sure! That night it was made clear all egos are to be checked at the door!

Prince refused to check his ego at the door...he insisted he wouldn't record with the others and insisted on a separate recording studio for himself. He was told "no" and refused to participate in any capacity. Behind closed doors he lost a lot of respect inside the industry after this for his inflated ego.

Great documentary!!

A rip off of Band Aid

@@andrewharrington6953 It's best to rip off a band-aid. Really, I wouldn't say this is a rip off, it is totally different. Besides it also being a group of artists, doing a song for a benefit. Though give them credit for inspiring other artists to get together and help, if you want.

@@jrod4344 How is it totally different. It's a group of artists recording a charity song while boosting their own image. Exactly the same

@ andrewharrington..wow what a negative ass you are!

@@andrewharrington6953 The song is totally different. Besides, you are only assuming it is to improve their images. I don't think any of them needed a boost. Sorry folks, we can't do any more charity drives of any type anymore, because they have all been done before. We don't want to rip off a general concept. Where do you think genres came from?
