If I could give you a thousand likes, I would - just for knowing (by heart) who almost every artist is. I’ve watched dozens of reaction videos to this song and not one of the others had done their homework: ALL of them did not know even half the artists. In fact, lucky if they knew a quarter of them. And NOT ONE of the others ever mentioned Quincy Jones. Not. One. All they had to do was look at the Wikipedia page which lists the artists in order of appearance. You’d think they would have that there to help them along, but no. Well done on this reaction and thanks for keeping the magic of this song and their incredible vocals alive. :)

Bruce Springsteen's voice was almost completely shot because he had just finished a big tour of the USA and his last concert was in Boston the day before he flew to LA, which he never travelled to do anything when a tour is done, but he made an exception to be there and had only a few hours sleep, running hugely on the strongest coffee he could get to drink to stay awake to help make sure to get all his parts done. When all the recording was finished and people were leavving, Diana Ross broke down in tears and when asked what was wrong, she said, "I don't want this to end!". Even Steve Perry who is a phenomenal singer, walked into the control booth when he arrived at the studio, saw Michael Jackson recording the base vocal tracks for the rest of the artists to work off and said to Quincey Jones, "Am I dreaming?!!" Everything about the song is pure, raw, powerful and emotional magic and even though quite a few other the artists have since returned home to heaven, their magic is still alive and healthy in their music and especially in this song.

There is a behind the scene video, where something funny happened while they were recording. Cindy was told to take off her jewelry, because of the metallic noises and she felt very embarrassed 😳😂

It's so cool to see people who grew up with it like I did and KNOW these people. ♥ Btw, the guy with the glasses next to Harry Belafonte is Dan Akroyd. Yes. THAT Dan Akroyd. Lol. Also, the lady in the yellow headband next to Bette Midler is Latoya Jackson, Michael's sister. On the other side of her was Randy Jackson, the youngest brother. Brothers Marlon, Jackie, and Tito were on the riser behind them.

The best voices in my opinion Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall and of course "the voice" Steve Perry.

Very professional reaction! This song makes me cry and brings fantastic memories :ʼ) Me and a few other people would be amazed to see your reaction to Viki Gabor - ''Forever and a night''. It's her newest single :) Of course I recommend also her acoustic performances: - Viki Gabor - koncert z dużego pokoju -Viki Gabor LIVE w RMF FM - Back to Black (Amy Winehouse cover) Regards!

I’m sensing great love from quite a few fans for Viki Gabor! She is definitely on the list!
