"We Are the World" is a charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is the eighth-bestselling physical single of all time.
Soon after the UK-based group Band Aid released "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984, the musician and activist Harry Belafonte began to think about an American benefit single for African famine relief. He enlisted fundraiser Ken Kragen to help bring the vision to reality. The duo contacted several musicians, and enlisted Jackson and Richie to write the song; they completed the writing seven weeks after the release of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", and only one night before "We Are the World"'s first recording session, on January 21, 1985. The historic event brought together some of the era's best-known musicians.
The song was released on March 7, 1985, as the first single from the album by Columbia Records. A worldwide commercial success, it topped music charts throughout the world and became the fastest-selling U.S. pop single in history. "We Are the World" received a Quadruple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, becoming the first single to be certified multi-platinum.
Awarded numerous honors-including three Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, and a People's Choice Award-the song was promoted with a critically received music video, a VHS, a special edition magazine, a simulcast, and several books, posters, and shirts. The promotion and merchandise helped "We Are the World" raise more than $63 million ($156 million today) for humanitarian aid in Africa and the United States.
⬢ SIMMONS SDS V
The Simmons SDS V was the first (analog) viable electronic replacement for acoustic drums. It was developed by Richard James Burgess and Dave Simmons, manufactured initially by Musicaid in Hatfield, UK, and commercially released in 1981.
The SDS-V was a really popular system, used by many of the big names in the 80's.
It was 'module' based so you could start with 5 modules and expand it to 6 or 7 in total.
There was also different types of modules, toms, bass drum, snare and hi hat.
Also it had 'patch memories', of sorts anyway. These were basically trimmers that were recessed below the panel. You could also use it in a 'free' mode where the sound you had was the sound set on the knobs.

We Are the World - singel charytatywny wykonany przez amerykański zespół USA for Africa, którego celem było zebranie pieniędzy na pomoc dla głodujących w Afryce. Pomysłodawcą był Harry Belafonte, piosenkę napisali Michael Jackson i Lionel Richie, a producentami byli Quincy Jones i Michael Omartian. Nagranie zrealizowano w nocy 28 stycznia 1985 roku. Była to noc bezpośrednio po wieczornej ceremonii rozdania American Music Awards, co było sposobem na zebranie tylu artystów w jednym miejscu i czasie (artyści przyjeżdżali po ceremonii do studia).
Piosenka została przebojem roku i przyniosła 90 mln USD zysku. Zdobyła dwie nagrody Grammy w 1985 roku jako Best Song of the Year oraz Best Record of the Year. 800 000 kopii nagrania pojawiło się w sklepach we wtorek 7 marca 1985, i wszystkie zostały sprzedane w pierwszym tygodniu. Utwór zadebiutował na liście Hot 100 „Billboardu” 23 marca na 21. miejscu (był to najwyższy debiut od czasów „Imagine” Johna Lennona), a na miejscu pierwszym znalazł się po trzech tygodniach pobytu na liście.
