Let me tell you something, brother. I'm 60 yrs old. I was there watching MTV the day this video aired back in 1985, and it was awesome seeing all these superstars together, jamming for a great cause. I haven't seen this video in several decades, and this brings back lots of happy memories. I want to thank you, because I never had any children, but seeing your expression on this reaction video makes me feel like a proud father seeing his kid opening presents on Christmas Day for the first time! Thank you for these reaction videos. I'm enjoying them all!

It was HUGE !! It was so exciting. I listened to it so many times after recording it on a tape from the radio… only got to see the video when I was lucky to catch it on “Friday Night Videos”. I didn’t have MTV, grew up on a farm so no cable just three channels :). I also bought the piano sheet music lol to play it on repeat and imitate every single voice! It’s an instant difference between the 80s and today … I couldn’t just pull up the video online and “watch on repeat” … it was mostly not possible and a huge effort! Made this with all these stars so special … to catch the video and see them all was pure LUCK. At slumber parties we would play it over and over and then put on a performance where we split up the parts and played the part of each musical star. A WONDERFUL and very memorable part of my childhood- this song. Adore your comment about being proud and excited for him while he reacts and recognizes so many people :) just lovely!

I agree with you 100%. I read somewhere, that John Denver very much wanted to be a part of this, but was not asked to join these other great voices. If they had wanted to include all possible great voices at the time, mid-1980s; then, including John Denver would have made perfect sense. It was said by someone close to John Denver, it hurt him the rest of his life not to be asked to be included.

@@sandyleewhite It's been quite a while since I read about it. I believe John Denver's management contacted someone, who was arranging for the singers to participate. I think they were told, that his voice & style of music wouldn't fit this song. It's such a shame, because they did include such a variety of singers. To me, even if they didn't give him a solo spot, he certainly should have been with the others for group choral parts.

The last two men you didn't recognise singing were James Ingram with the beard, and the legend Ray Charles with the sunglasses & red shirt. You definitely need to do 'Ray Charles - Hit the road Jack on Saturday Live 1996'

Don't forget to recognize Quincy Jones, the director and producer of this. His career spans everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson. A true talent. Some of those you didn't recognize: Diana Ross, Cindy Lauper, Kim Carnes, Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis, Bob Dylan, Hall and Oats, James Ingram, Al Jarreau. You got a lot of them though

Easily your best reaction. A year or two ago you wouldn’t of know who any of them were! Great job 👏 The famine in Ethiopia was in 1984 and a charity song was made at Christmas time in the uk called ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ Well worth a reaction too. It features lots of British & Irish singers you’ll recognise. As it’s a Christmas song you may want to wait a few months, up to you lol. The USA for Africa song came out in 1985, the same year as Live Aid. I don’t know about the US but here in the uk there have been many different charity songs over the years including 3 other versions of Do They Know It’s Christmas?!

@@kaiakreations I just put requests in the comment section and hope Jay will do it if enough people give a thumbs up. He is usually pretty good about doing requests that way, but you have to be patient. Imagine all the requests he gets, then sorting through artists that will probably block his video, editing, plus doing his normal everyday activities. It usually takes a week or so from request dates till the release of the video. Jay notices who his long time subscribers are, who comments often, and if their requests are usually popular and they have a good taste in music. So request away and he should do it. Good luck
