What a tremendous, timeless gem. I remember around 35 years ago traveling on a bus during peak hour one morning. The bus was packed full of commuters going about their daily business, then this song came on the radio. The bus driver cranked up the volume and suddenly the atmosphere on the bus changed. For a few brief minutes every single person on that bus forgot about what they were doing or thinking, and became lost in this sweet, euphonious masterpiece. The entire bus was silent and people began looking around at each other as though they all possessed a common understanding, and for a brief moment in time, we were all bonded together in blissful harmony. Then we got off the bus and went about our day, with what I like to imagine, a slightly different perspective of the world. A moment I'll never forget 💙

Dionne, Elton, Gladys, and Stevie Wonder gave a legendary performance of "What Friends Are For". Their voices blended together so effortlessly, creating a beautiful harmony. Watching them have a great time on set, smiling and laughing with each other, just added to the magic of the performance. The energy they brought was unforgettable! We, Filipinos look up to these musical icons and love them, and this collaboration between four legends just solidified that. It was a testament to the power of friendship and music to bring people together. Thank you for the timeless music.

[@gabalfayomega]

Not only Filipinos! As a Mexican we grew up with this beautiful music!

Buried my beautiful 38 year old brother some years ago -all his friends gathered at the funeral someone brought a boom box and played this song for my brother Jim at his funeral , this song is truly iconic in every way -“that’s what friends are for” is and will be legendary for many many many years to come thank you Burt Bacharach for writing such a masterpiece and thank Dionne Warwick sir Elton John , Stevie wonder and Gladys knight for creating such a magnificent singing iconic song.🥀

Floyd Brennan i am so fortunate to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. These were the two best decades for music. Period....true talent right there. Beautiful, just beautiful...

[@joanjohnson24]

I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.

[@Lindathemightywitch]

Songs nowadays sound like they are just talking. They are more wordy. Back then, the songs mostly were about emotions, passion, and Instrumental stuff! Not auto tune. There are some good songs nowadays but they are few and far between.

[@nickcaps5630]

I wish the world was still like this. What a time to be alive

[@bTrLOL.]

​@@nickcaps5630 This is a prime example of somebody who spent most of their life inside and away from others as a child and didn't really know how to interact, upon discovering the loving and fun communities of social life and friend groups, they decide they want to be known by everyone as a cool person and have many friends that admire them and give them attention. However, because they spent a lot of their time on the internet and away from other people while not learning social rules and norms, they approach groups and people wrong by saying or doing something looked down upon and are told that what they did is wrong (most of the time in a good way but not always). Now this is where they hit a fork in the road, they either learn what they did was wrong and admit to it in order to become better and accepted by others therefore eventually forming into a person who connects with people positively and continues on to better things, or they lash out at the people who told them they were wrong because they were told no in a mean way or had parents who never declined them; So then they assume that the people who told them they did something wrong are the bad guys and their enemy.

Guess Elton is in it for a reason, three black singers and one white. Most would say it won't work but Elton John held his own and I personally don't think there would have been many if any apart from him that could have back then, hell even now I remember when it first come out sitting in a pub and hearing it for the first time and like many others in the pub were stunned by the strange mix especially in the era of racially divided but oh shit it brought us all together that night.
