First Time Hearing ‘WE ARE THE WORLD’ By USA FOR AFRICA

[@loriloucks3738]

So cute when someone doesn't recognize Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles, but keep doing these and you will. Loving these reactions, thank you.

[@dcmtrader]

Not to mention Kenny Rogers, Harry Belafonte, John Oates and on and on

[@3DJapan]

Honestly even though I grew up with all of them I blank on names occasionally.

I'm glad you think it's cute, because it's highly annoying to me. 😂

OH YEAH ...that is epic !!! The soloists in order were : Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles The Choir behind them : 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, Smokey Robinson.

[@ruthlafler5622]

Huey Lewis said his solo was supposed to be for Prince, but he backed out at the last minute. So they basically looked around, spotted him, and said, hey, Huey, come do this. Even in a room of great singers, the clarity and easy power of Steve Perry's voice stands out.

[@doggystyly]

Wow I am a Dan Akroid fan thank you for the detailed list 🎩🙋🏼‍♀️😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You will never see that amount of TALENT in one room ever again.

[@Luckydraw4me]

[@ruthlafler5622]

Well, technically they were all in the same room the day before, because they filmed this when everyone was in town for the Grammys. But certainly not singing in the same room!

[@Ambaryerno]

There's not that amount of talent in the WORLD today.

[@3DJapan]

It's mind blowing thinking of having that many big singers in one room together, singing together. I don't think we even have that many singers on that level today.

[@raesour2806]

What impresses me is that each artist has their distinct vocal style in solos, yet all their voices fit together in the chorus.

[@anpat3]

All these years later and I’m absolutely astounded by the talent in that room. A moment in time that will never come again.

[@johnpinard3212]

There was a massive famine that was ongoing in Africa . This group of artists came together. It made a very big impression.

You could say that. It's still the 8th most sold record of all time.

RIP Mr. Quincy Jones 💔

[@stephenrafter1980]

I'm in my 40s now. I was in primary school in Ireland when that song came out first in the 1980s. We saved every penny we had to send to Africa that Christmas. The whole world came together to help the famine in Africa. It was really bad in Africa. Every single school and college raised money also. We sold milk, we sold toys, we made cakes, we did unimaginable things to get money. It brings back some memories to me. Sad and good , I know all those artists. Bob geldof started that movement.

[@cieramist1]

I have to admit that I was very impressed with your knowledge of who was who being how young you are. Awesome.

[@PJBLIESNER1970]

Now that you have been introduced to so many great voices, it is time to listen to "The Voice", Steve Perry and Journey. 1981 Concert recorded live. "Don't stop believing" and "Mother, Father". Steve Perry's voice will blow you away.

[@MichaelW969]

I think we all react that way when we here Bob Dylan and I'm an American who has seen him live Lol. If you go down the "rabbit hole" of Bob Dylan you'll disc9ver he's one of the greatest songwriters all-time

[@HealthAtAnyCost]

Such an amazing song. There's a great video "The Making of 'We Are the World'" I would encourage watching. So beautiful to watch everyone "check their Egos at the door" and be enamored of each other, getting autographs and everything! I'm so happy you knew so many singers. Goodness, I've watched Reactions from folks older than you who had zero idea who anyone was except MJ. Thank you! You were great. (Have to throw my PLEASE WATCH in here: Queen! Your channel will swell greatly with all of us Queenies! Most of all, keep having fun!)

[@tamiw.166]

"The Greatest Night In Pop" (Netflix) is a documentary about this once in a lifetime performance, and will give you a better understanding on who the performers were and what it was all about. I remember when it was released, and still get the feels watching & listening. Thank you for this one. (I've thought more than once that the video should be updated with the performers' names, but you did great!)

This single was to raise money for the same cause. England had their single and so did Canada and metal singers put one out, too. Here's their song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGewmIaOhaqon5o The communist Ethiopian government let a million people starve to death and Bob Geldof got to work and started creating a solution. Harry Belafonte heard what was going on and started pushing for the US to get involved with the solution, too.
