Steve Perry’s voice is just amazing and it gets me every time!

[@toodlescae]

4:16 That's Steve Perry and yes he was the lead singer for Journey.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Steve Perry of Journey...he trained to be a tenor in opera!!! True talent in this song!!😍😍😍

[@bettyjblake]

This was done at a time when people cared about humanity without an agenda. It was a special time. You would be hard pressed to find artists of today come together again like this. This was 100% genuine.

[@ellenstrack6274]

The best was Quincy had a hand written sign outside of the studio door..." Check your ego at the door".

[@shellygill5029]

Steve Perry, lead singer with Journey. He has a fantastic voice.

[@anitawright7169]

This is so incredible! All of those superstars on one stage! Love your reaction!

[@fawnebrown4619]

It was when I was watching a lot of We Are the World reactions that I realized Steve Perry has such an amazing voice. That's when my deep dive into Journey/Steve Perry began. In this song, he and Ray Charles are my faves. Love how everyone sounds. Solos and duets.

[@garyatwood-mendez6465]

Yes, that is Steve Perry from Journey, sandwiched in between Kenny Loggins (whom you called “smooth”) and Daryl Hall. I have a great reaction recommendation for you: check out Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry’s duet “Don’t Firght It.” It’s absolute fire. I love your point about people who didn’t get solos. There are some greats there: The Pointer Sisters, Sheila E., Harry Belafonte, Bette Midler…

[@user-kg5uo6uz5y]

And unfortunatelly some of them are not with us anymore.😢 RIP Kenny Rogers, james Ingram, Tina Turner, Michael jackson, Al Jarreau, Ray Charles and Harry Belafonte.

[@YBMJETT]

Wow so many of them have passed. At least they live on through their work and things like this.

[@seanpatton7406]

​@@YBMJETTAt exactly at 7 min & 37 secs.... who's that standing on the left wearing glasses 🤓. That's *"Blues Brothers 😎 and Ghostbusters" 👻* actor, Dan Aykroyd!!! Someone on another reaction to this song made a list of *EVERYONE* who was there that day 🎶🎵👍!!! There were so many famous people who weren't singers that showed up. Some flew 🛩️ there at a moment's notice!? Many came right after a music awards show!! *Also, yes, EVERYONE was told to leave their egos at the door🚪.* There's a 1 hr Documentary here on YT if you ever want to check it out

[@charissakington606]

Agree - this song brings a tear to my eye. It was sooooo huge back in the day. I do the same with the artists and their voices. They are a PHENOMENAL group of TALENTED artists! Love love it.

[@richardrobinson4020]

I like to say there was a time when we aspired to do grand things for noble reasons. May those times return!

[@minneyruth]

This will always be Epic ❤

[@sandyleewhite]

No egos, No pretentions, No need to be the center of attention, Just amazing singers at the top of their careers, singing simply, for compassion & love ❤ $10.8 million was raised (equivalent to $29 million today) ❤❤❤

[@horstschafer1839]

Happens not often, that somebody who's doing a reaction recognizes the other stars in the chorus. 👍😊

[@bonniesampt6484]

Lionel Richie did this on American Idol contestants when Just Samm won , beautiful.

[@robinmahan8814]

Justin, Diana Ross heard Home Free and invited them to her Birthday party. I think it was Love Train that they performed. It's a great version. This video takes me back to our Hands across America days....beautiful.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Quincy Jones--conducted

[@poguemom3]

Thanks for this! Al Jarreau was the one I could never place! It’s been driving me crazy! Lol

[@coachtscorner2994]

Awesome reaction! There aren't enough talented artists in the music world that even come close to this masterpiece! All of these artists, singing perfectly....without auto tune... One of my favorite songs of all time! R.I.P. to those artists that we have lost ❤😢

[@michellejackson6679]

Thank you Michael and Quincy.. for this Iconic song... that still resonates 40 plus years later... perfection... I was a senior in HS when this came out... knew every artist.. amazing that they all came together and made this happen.

[@ronnix23]

And Lionel Richie.

[@izinda]

@@ronnix23 You Right to mention Lionel, even if he only add a sentence to this masterpiece. MJ did 99% of it (lyrics and music) and Quincy mixed and produced it

[@ronnix23]

@@izinda I've heard that MJ wrote more of the lyrics than Lionel too, but there are about 450 words if you count all of the repeating words in the chorus every time. I'll take the over on Lionel only writing 4 1/2 word. Also Lionel wrote the melody to the song, so you can get out of here with your 99 percent BS.

[@Crazychick64]

​@@izindaMichael Jackson wrote the words and Lionel Ritchie wrote the music

[@Devfromnrsstudios]

Sorry I was late to the party. As a 47 year old man, this song changed our lives back then. This song and my grandfather (R.I.P😢) made a great officer and soldier in the Army. I know I wasn't a perfect soldier but I know I made a big difference. No matter how much hate we great, thank you to all that have supported us. And now my elder daughter is a proud Army soldier. Also this song still makes me cry a lot. Btw, Silverhawks and Thundercats were the best, lol

[@LadyGator1983]

Justin, i’m with you, sweetie! I would love to see another one of these done every so many years. If only we could get artists together again.

[@sandyczarnetzke7141]

Oh My God I still remember when this premiered on MTV. These legends were household names back then. Starting with Ray Charles, Dionne Worwick, Diana Ross etc. We've lost 10 since this was recorded.❤ Stay safe

[@cdfdesantis699]

One of the greatest collaborations of superstars for charity of all time. Thanks for your reaction.

[@ce3586]

This was the first TRUE mega-group.

[@sandramullen9948]

Love this so much! It did help us all come together for a while! We do need another one like this! Thank you for playing it!

[@debbers]

And Michael was still handsome, before he started with all of the surgeries that messed up his good looks! Yes, it's Journey and his name is Steve Perry! Great reaction Justin!

[@wright1776]

I grew up to all the music from these folks!! An awesome era

[@christophermetz9196]

Yes he is from journey

[@YBMJETT]

Ok I was thinking that but wasn’t sure. I should’ve known that voice is pretty unforgettable!

[@vodriscoll]

His name is Steve Perry @@YBMJETT

[@robinmahan8814]

He is Journey. Gosh, I miss his voice.

[@josephtingley654]

Michael Jackson accomplished his mission with the help of his powerful friends and raised millions for the African relief effort. The truly sad thing is that Paul McCartney had been invited, but he politely declined, because he was angry with Jackson buying The Beatles catalog out from under him and the remaining Beatles.

[@gdoggatl]

All false. Paul wasn't mentioned/invited. All the immediate invitations and recording of the song happened the night of the January, 1985 American Music Awards. Paul was in England. If anything, he was a member of "Band Aid". Although he declined to be on THEIR single, he did help on their Christmas Ethiopian Relief album. The only Brit in the studio for "We Are the World" was Bob Geldof, the Band Aid founder. The American who wanted a U.S. recording was Harry Belafonte, who was there. Oh, and Michael didn't begin his initial attempt to buy the "ATV" collection, that included the 60's Lennon/McCartney songs until Summer, 1985. The transaction was completed in August, 1985. By the way, the song was at least 50% writteh by Lionel Richie.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

In july the same year Bob Geldof and Midge Uhre arranged Live Aid in London andPhiladelphia and broadcast to 1.9 billion around the world to support the same cause. Watch Queen at live Aid the best live performance of all times.

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

13:00, that's Steve Perry from Journey, AKA ""The Voice".

[@maryhuhnke4706]

It's 1985. I'm in Kansas and expecting my 2nd child. I didn't have M-TV ...I only had my Radio. I had to determine who was singing by their voices! ❤❤ Imagine THAT!!

[@Teresia12]

From the first time I heard this I have cried every single time I've heard it.❤❤❤

[@Spazzmatazzz]

On the top row was Harry Belafonte singing next to Dan Ackroyd! And Smokey Robinson was also there in the chorus. (I always thought they should have given him a solo!)

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Huey Lewis and the News are great group!!!😍😍

[@soledadmegias7335]

Gracias a michael x sus grandes canciones...único.. Tipo exigente❤

[@timbeatty8411]

Everytime I watch this video I just can't imagine standing in the room with that many Legends.

[@jackmandu]

Dude! With the Voltron reference? You’re killing me! Great reaction.

[@walterjackson4221]

Steve Perry from group Journey..

[@Bunker1982]

I agree! Lets do it again!

[@lbullbear]

Cindy knocked it out..I see Bette Midler, i wish she had a part..an angel sang with them Diana Ross..

[@26shedan]

Credit to Quincy Jones for the magical arrangement and production.

[@surfeit5910]

"Baby come to me" I think James Ingram should get so much more attention on the reactions to this song! As well as Al Jerreau "We're in this love together"" Anybody who's heard "Soft Rock" or "Smooth Jazz" in the 80's has heard both of them before. And RIP to Kenny, James, Tina, Michael, Al, Ray, and Harry Belefonte who put this song together and sang in the chorus. I also get sad when people overlook Kenny Loggins since he only did 2 of the most popular songs of the entire 80's decade! "Footloose" and "Highway to the Danger Zone". And that other guy after Steve Perry (Journey) was Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates) who had like 20 years of nonstop hits through the 70's and 80's. I also get amused that people can't identify the guy responsible for the main song in Back to the Future, who also had a cameo as a judge in that movie, Huey Lewis.

[@TheDivayenta]

You can sing!! Lovely reaction- so appreciative! Subbed!

[@mizzcarla7191]

The Pointer Sisters, Smokey Robinson, Harry Belafonte, Jeffery Osborne (Lead.singer with LTD)Dan Akaroyd, Bette Miller are just a few the Choir

[@evelynhoard2845]

It would be hard to find enough artists that would lay aside their ego and do this. There were a lot of big names that didn't get a solo and that wouldn't fly.

[@aliousblackman242]

What happened to the days when so many different people would get together for a worthy cause. Put all the BS aside! PEOPLE were suffering half a world away and many PEOPLE from around the world came together to help them. We are all God's children, we need to start acting like it!!

[@jojofraz6870]

You should watch the documentary on the making of this. It's very cool.

[@mp63au]

I think there was a video of the making of this song, some of the Celebs said "when MJ is on the phone and says "Im making a song and want you be in it" you drop what your doing and go"

[@MarkusUbl]

I love your shirt. Great taste in video games!

[@Really658]

They wore this song out back in the day.

[@debbiem7052]

Steve Perry from Journe! Raspy is Bruce Springsteen ... Check out some 80's please!! You will find all kinds of rabbit holes to travel down!

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

I WAS FORTUNATE TO TAKE MY SON TO DODGER STADIUM TO SEE MICHAEL JACKSON AND BROTHERS ON "VICTORY TOUR" THEY PERFORMED FOR THREE HOURS!!! LENNY KRAVITZ OPENED!!!!👍

[@pattiemartin9253]

I wish current and past singers of all genres would do something like this for victims of natural disasters. Like tornado and hurricane.

[@janetmckay1049]

They were in town for anawards show!

[@michellejackson6679]

Yes Journey... Steve Perry

[@evanirvana500]

I love how you knew and appreciated the legends in this song. So many young people dont have a clue. Except michael. EVERYONE knows michael. lol if anyone asked whos that when he came on my head would explode. And yes it was journey, his name is Steve "the voice" perry. Whats crazy is Arnel Pineda, the lead singer for journey now sounds eerily similar. Theres a concert with journey and arnel on youtube. Ill try to find a link. Lightning can strike twice. Found it. kzbin.info/aero/PLdBvvWz2NJ76n6uQc7c16Bs6hWfW6IZUg

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Most of Jackson's are there!!!

[@oneluv697]

they do have a modern day version its for HAITI look it up

[@tammyammons195]

I thought Cyndi Lauper killed her part!!

[@kathieovercash8414]

Michael Jackson and Barry Gibb All In Your Name. Bee Gees Fanny Be Tender. Nights On Broadway. I Can't See Nobody. Living Eyes. And The Sun Will Shine. Kiss Of Life. Mr Natural. All are masterpieces.

[@kevinbarberio5143]

Steve Perry da goat!!

[@jamesdaugette3280]

The kids nowadays don't know anything about Voltron. Lion force was epic.

[@user-tv8uy9vk5v]

Super,it is best.Super

[@michaelruhnke6721]

This is what the acronym MAGA stood for...i don't understand why so many can't see that!

[@ValerieMurphy-yv8qt]

Steve Perry journey

[@DariaBilowus]

This will never happen again.

[@petersjogren8471]

The answer is no. There is not enough good singers today that can or even wants to do anything like this. Just listen to the Tahiti version.

[@user-xk6of8rj2o]

No brother it will never be a song like that

[@LiLiJo]

I do not like when you have already seen the video and the title it as “first time” because it is a lie.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

Basketball ????

[@Metal-Bane]

maybe there are no good singer anymore. all sounds the same today...

[@minneyruth]

There is another song with a bunch of musicians but i gotta be honest.. i hate it. 🤷‍♀️ it sounds like a mess. The individual voices are good but i think they put the wrong voices in the wrong spots 🤷‍♀️ idk it just sounds like 💩

[@cassandradenise3037]

Is it the one We are the world for Haiti?? i liked it💁🏽‍♀️.. i could do without the rapping part , but i found it to be a pretty nice version 💕

[@minneyruth]

@cassandradenise3037 yes, I think that's the one lol. Now that you jogged my memory I think it was the rapping I didn't like
