When Bruce first sang his part during the recording session, he sang it smoothly in what he thought was his best voice. Quincy Jones, who produced it, was a bit taken aback and said,."No, sing it like Bruce, man!" Bruce then did his rough sound, and Quincy said, "Now that's what we're looking for!"

The guy with the soulful voice (10:44) is James ingram, very very humble and underrated artist. He wrote arguably the best song on Michael's Thriller album, Pretty young thing and a has few solid hits of his own, he was a force in the 80s, he also did the soundtrack for the American tail animation cartoon in 80s, check out the song, somewhere out there. - he just passed away few years back but he was an amazing artist

The one you missed after Willie Nelson is the legendary Al Jarreau. You need to check out "We're In this Love Together", "Moonlighting", and "Mornin". His voice is like silky butter! The one after Bruce was Kenny Loggins, who did "Danger Zone". Your next of his should be "Footloose" or "I'm Alright". After Steve Perry of Journey was Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates. Right before Cyndi Lauper was Huey Lewis (without The News). Congratulations, Jay & Amber, on the first anniversary of your musical awakening!

When this song came out, I was working at a radio station in Seattle. There was a thing where every radio station in the country was supposed to play it at a specific time. When the time came, we plugged it in. IO went to a radio and acanned all 44 radio stations in Seattle. Every one of them was playing We Are The World. Rock, pop country news/talk, sports/talk, Christian, every one of them. I still get shivers when I remember it.

@GaryDouglas-lj5bz Жыл бұрын

Which radio station? I was owning and operating an independent record store in Seattle in 1985 (and for ten years before that and for 10 years after that) and, of course, "We Are the World" was our best selling 45 of that year and probably of every other year as well.

I think it’s really important for you, and everyone else of your generation to research what was happening in Ethiopia, Africa in 1985 to create this. It wasn’t just about music, it was a massive effort to raise money to save people from starvation. Children were so malnutritioned and so dehydrated we saw their skeletal bone structure. It was horrific.

"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-best-selling physical single of all time. Also, at the beginning, you were wondering about the signatures, and yes, all those singers signed their names. I don't know where that cloth is located, but I'm sure it's worth a pretty penny, as some of those singers have passed on up to now. This was done after the AMA (American Music Awards) show and since they were there anyway for the Awards, then they all gathered together and did this. Arrangement Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner and Billy Joel sing the first verse; Michael Jackson and Diana Ross sing the first chorus; Dionne Warwick (Whitney Houston's Aunt), Willie Nelson and Al Jarreau sing the second verse; Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry and Daryl Hall sing the second chorus; Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, and Kim Carnes sing the 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 structure is said to "create a sense of continuous surprise and emotional buildup". The following people sang in the chorus: Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belafonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Mario Cipollina, Johnny Colla, Sheila E., Bob Geldof, Bill Gibson, Chris Hayes, Sean Hopper, Jackie Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Bette Midler, John Oates, Jeffrey Osborne, Anita Pointer, June Pointer, Ruth Pointer, and Smokey Robinson. Directed by Quincy Jones.

I was just a 10 year old kid back then, and knew mj was helping people in Africa, but still too young to really appreciate the lyrics. But today almost 40 years later, I am blown away. ❤❤ that feels like it was just yesterday, and to see, especially the artist there that have passed away is very humbling. 😢😢

Suggestion: do this again on your second YT anniversary, but do it live. It’ll help you fill in gaps with the “lesser” known/unknown and not-solo’d artists, like Dan Aykroyd isn’t a considered a professional singer, but a widely-recognized comedic actor (Ghostbusters as an example) who sang in the chorus.

Dan Aykroyd was in The Blue Brothers and you reacted to Soul Man. John Belushi did most the lead vocals, though. Check out Sweet Home Chicago, Who's Makin' Love, Hey Bartender, or Rubber Biscuit. When the movie channel gets up and running, you need to react to that movie!!!

Mid 80s was a golden age of American music and entertainment. I hope I’m around for the next one.

What a great re-reaction! Half the fun of watching a reaction to a song like this is watching y’all react to specific artists, so y’all taking the time to react again after you’ve seen more from these artists is pretty cool. Thank y’all so much for caring so much about your subscribers that you revisit things like this. Love y’all as much as a stranger possibly could❤
