[@anthonyzarate9807]

A very telling fact, Michael Jackson was the ONLY artist under 30 (age 27). Most were over 40. This is a time when looks meant almost nothing. These were true musicians, singers, and artists who spent decades of blood, sweat, tears, and true talent to make some if the best songs and music. Even MJ had over 2 decades of hard work and experience by that time. Sadly, we will NEVER see a collection of great musical artists ever again. Today it is more looks and promotion than talent and hard work.

[@MajinErick]

This was one of the biggest charity songs that still resonates with me.

[@angelomaurizio1668]

I'd seen the documentary for this song not too long ago, and it is fascinating. The only way to gather all artists into one recording studio to record a song was after an awards ceremony where many artists gathered. After the American Music Awards in '85 the artists shown made their way to A&M studios in Hollywood. Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, all artists were given a demo made by Jackson prior to the awards ceremony. Everyone had a feel for the song, but no solo parts were planned until they'd all arrived in the studio. That was when the brilliance of Qunicy Jones took over. Everyone worked through the night, and I do recall seeing Diana Ross sitting in a fetal position from exhaustion. In the end, the artists wound up leaving the studio around 8:30 the next morning! This truly showed that hard work paid off, and the rest is history.

[@donaldkennedy9573]

Bruce Springsteen was the last one to do the solo. Quincy said that Bruce was one of the hardest working musicians that he ever met. The day before Bruce did a 4-hour concert with the E-Street Band. Bruce said that the band came on at 10:30 that night and got off at about 2 in the morning. He then had to eat a lot at the after party. He was in New York. He then had to fly to L.A. He said that he never even slept on the plane. And he then went to the American Music Awards that night, And he went to do the song after that in his truck. When he did his solo it was 6 in the morning. Then he had to fly back east to do a concert that night. He might have been up over 72-hours.

[@VickieWiseman]

I too enjoyed the documentary and gained an even greater appreciation for each of these amazing. singers! ♥️

[@timsparks4990]

Mia loved your reaction to this video and song! Unfortunately, we will never see the likes of this again as a few of these legends have passed on. I feel the only reason this one came together is because of who put it together. I mean, who would say NO to Qunicy Jones, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie. Those 3 made this event happen. Quincy Jones even put a sign over the door to the studio that read "CHECK YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR" because he wanted them all to realize that this was not about themselves, but about putting together something special that would beniefit the needy people in Africa. Every one of these singers is a LEGEND in their own right. But to me, STEVIE WONDER killed it! To me, he sings with more passion, emotion, and soul than anyone out there. Just my opinion. Mia, you are right. The STARS of today's music and entertainment industry should do more events like this to help bring unity and peace to our world. Lord knows we need it right now.

I was around 14 when this magic happened. This song was played all over the World. I remember the day of 28th of March of the 1996, like over 6.000 radio stations all over the planet, played the song simultaneously at 10:15am. I remember in schools (Italy) when they told us that the song would have been played all over the planet and it is been so... It has been the biggest moment of unification that I ever lived in my life. Something that is just utopia, a dream, at the day of today... I'm so glad that I'm coming from that era. Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie materialized a masterpiece that night in L.A. This song has been made for charity. All those superstars went for free to spend the night in a studio to record the song. Some of them arrived there straight from the Americans awards etc .. They all left just when the job was done in the morning. No financial compensation for that long amazing job that they did. A support to Africa, that's it. There is a fantastic documentary (presented by Jane Fonda) that shows that magical night. Whoever is attracted by this song and wants to know more, I suggest to watch that documentary.

This was shot and recorded in the early morning after an award show. These artists volunteered their time for the cause. MJ came up with the idea and Lionel Richie wrote the song. Quincy Jones directed and produced. Sad part is that we lost more than half of these artists

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

A correction is necessary.... This project was not Michael Jackson's idea. The legendary Harry Belafonte, an amazing singer, actor, humanitarian, and civil rights activist, was moved by the images he saw of those suffering in the famine in Africa. He had an idea he took to talent manager Ken Kragen about a benefit concert with the top stars, and Kragen suggested a recording be put together instead of a concert. They sought out Quincy Jones to produce and direct the project. Quincy, who of course had worked with MJ on a number of his albums and had worked with Lionel Richie, assigned the writing of the song to Michael and Lionel. Most of the various singers and musicians who were brought on board to take part were expecting to be in town at the same time to attend the American Music Awards Show. They agreed to forego the customary after-show parties and gather and work through the night to record their solo and choral parts together. And magic happened. It is a good thing to know how the project actually came about. There are several videos about the development of the USA for Africa project and how the song was recorded, as well as countless articles detailing the events, and there is coverage in Wikipedia and on other online resources. It's sad though that many fans just make assumptions about Michael's involvement. MJ thought of and directed several other projects, but this one was not his idea. His contribution was invaluable as a co-writer of the song "We Are The World" and his name recognition with the public and his participation with the other stars really helped the promotion of song and album to fundraise for the famine relief. However, everyone who gave their names, their time, and their talents to the project and the compassion behind it, did it not for the spotlight, but to help others who were starving and in dire need. The most important things are the help it generated for those people and the impact it brought to the human spirit, not just in the U.S., but around the world... evoking a generosity and connection this world needs now more than ever. God bless people like Belafonte, and Michael, and Lionel, and Stevie, and Ray, and Springsteen, and Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, Willie Nelson, Tina Turner, and all the other singers and musicians who took part. Bless those, too, who supplied studio space, equipment and other production needs, radio and TV coverage, promotion, and so forth. May the countless others be blessed who bought the record with the song or the whole album that was produced, or who were moved to donate monies for relief of the hungry and suffering in Africa during that time. In remembrance of Michael and the others who have passed on... Rest in Peace.

First, Quincy Jones is a genius. Second, back then there were problems with racism, of course. But we were making good progress. Better than generations before. We were moving forward with coming together. Again, there was much progress to be made, but we were improving. Then. The newer generations came along and trashed that progress. We’ve gone backward. The two newest generations stoked fire and told each group that they hated the other with a passion. Now there’s more problems than back when this song and video came out. Unfortunately, I don’t see that progress coming back for a long time. It’s going to take generations to move forward again, just to get where we were with Gen X had gotten us.

This whole creation was put together by iconic entertainer and activist Harry Belafonte who you see at 7:17. He thought of an American version of what the British Band Aid production did the year before with “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” They got people like Stevie Wonder, Kenny Rogers, and others and got Lionel Richie and Michael to co write the song. The only fault with the whole thing is that Smokey Robinson, who is right up front and is one of the men who helped pioneer music as we know it did not have a solo in the final edit but they made sure he was upfront with the rest of the Motown family Diana, Stevie, and Michael.

I must admit you are one of the best reaction people. You dont do all the stopping and pausing video. You comment in detail at end of video and use text to make comments while video is playing. You are a genius 😊

[@paulr6881]

Great emotional reaction Mia !! . I should have mentioned that in my main comment !! 👏

[@DoIttMiaaaa]

Thank You Paul , It’s Like I’ve Been Going On Emotional Rollercoasters As Of Late 😅♥️

In 1984/85 Africa, specifically Etheopia. There was a severe drought and people were dying by the millions from famine. This song was made to help out Africa. If you notice there is absolutely no racism here. No segregation, no egos. People with nothing but respect for each other and helping out a terrible tragedy. This is how we should be as human beings. People helping people. Everyone here is a true legend.

Don't take this the wrong way but that's when America was great.

[@ryanhill8886]

Great. Glad you found this 80s gem. This was preceded by "Do they know its Christmas" by a collective of 80s British musicians calling themselves Band Aid and both songs were meant to raise funds for African Famine relief. You might also check out "That's what friends are for" by Dione Warwick and others which was recorded to raise funds for AIDS research....

Phenomenal artists (and people) came together truly for the world! This will never happen again..as money, greed, entitlement, rules. Forgot how many legends were part of this..this is epic and iconic. Thank you!

[@dunhill1]

another reason why this will never happen again is because many of these legends have passed on and no longer alive. That would be a primary issue.

[@UGodd]

Lionel's thumbs up always been my favorite part of the video growing up but it hits so much different now after seeing the documentary. Watching how hard he worked to get and keep the artists together that night is iconic in itself.

[@MaryEllen10862]

A room full of legends that we will never see again! They all made their mark in this world. Amazing and I still cry every time I hear this because it’s so beautiful. I cried the first time this came out to. Absolutely amazing! Thank you for your reaction.

[@jessquinn6106]

I was 18 when this hit the waves. Seeing all of them together is just like a time jump for me. You could not do anything like this today: In the making of this song, you had White, Black and Asian singers. Rock, Pop, Folk, Jazz, Blues, and Country singers, Christians, Pagans and Jews. Heterosexual and Homosexual singers. All coming together and giving their all to better the world. You try doing this today and the "hate" will be slinging hate before they even get past the studio doors.

[@AnthonyOrosco7]

This came up in my feed so I decided to give it a look. I appreciate your reaction and I understand how it touched you emotionally. This is something, an event, that sadly we may never see again and that's tragic. I graduated high school in 1982 so this was blasted all over MTV and we all were star struck seeing if we could name all the singers and celeb's in the video. It didn't matter if you were a rocker, new wave or into hiphop...everyone appreciated the effort they put into this. This was back in a time when we did not have social media, cell phones so there was always one house we all went to and watched the new music videos, you could tell the house cause of all the beach cruisers and skateboards out front! Such fond memories and watching this and your reaction stirred those up again. Thank you for that. With all that said, my favorite singer in this? Steve Perry! Look him up, lead singer for many years under Journey then a fantastic solo career.

[@ConstanceHurst-r8v]

My favorite part is the duo of Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonders

[@Irishguy1978]

I was 7 years old when it came out in 1985 i remember listening too on the radio in Ireland still and great song

[@DoIttMiaaaa]

Wow , I Bet It Brings Back Some Beautiful Memories Declan 🙂 Thank You For Sharing .

[@jonmook]

This song has a great meaning to what’s happening, from starvation, to 911 , war around world, I’m so proud of this song it shows how we as humans need to realize we’re family &Ohana no matter how much money you born with nothing everyone needs help we need to be one to much hate, I’m a 80s person unbelievable god bless our world.

[@veot.2869]

Thank you for doing this Mia!!! One person I would like to see you react to is James Ingram, one of the soloists. He has a phenomenal voice and great songs done in the 80s and 90s. A couple of them: No Easy Way to Break Somebody's Heart, Come to Me.

[@davidventuramartin4007]

El final de canción de Ray Charles es INCREÍBLE... no se puede tener más clase cantando.....

[@petercsigo3314]

If you love this song you going to really love the song called "Do they know it's Christmas time" the one that started all for Africa.

[@starhunter2333]

stevie and bruce what a great moment and duo..i can listen to it non stop...just f woooow

[@jeffmoses1579]

Hey dollface, Netflix just released a doc of the making of this sing. Thanks for this amazing reaction! I still cry 40 years later.

[@denn4u]

Never get tired of this song I was in high school when it came out on a 45, record it sold out fast love your channel Mia

[@barte3822]

Beautiful reaction Mia. Recording artists from all genres came to together and volunteered their talents for charity. ♥️ Amazing 👏

[@keithkinder309]

James Ingram my all time fave 80’s R&B singer…

[@dunhill1]

Yes, RIP Mr. Ingram; still sorely missed.

[@DariaBilowus]

I love watching people listen to this masterpiece for the very first time.

[@melodyannherringmcneely7842]

I always get chills when I see this video!! I enjoyed your reaction!! I loved that you played most of the video before you started talking. And your reactions were written on the screen. So many artists have gone home but it is a song for all ages for us to enjoy. ❤

[@deuce7643]

I was 9 when this came out. It was such a huge event. I remember every top of the hour on MTV they played this song. Now im someone who is a classic rock/ metal fan and this is one of the most inspirational songs ever. One of the few songs that make me cry. ❤❤

[@jamescarlson3151]

I really like the contrast between Stevie's smooth tones and Bruce's freight train of a voice together.

[@patricialenz6320]

I truly appreciated your reaction. No constant interrupting of the video. Love the written comments you put in the video. Ill be watching more from you.

[@alicesworld1]

Girl, I cried right along with you. I cried the first day it hit the charts and every time I've heard it since. This song is my heart. ❤️

[@chantellecline6945]

This song is impressive and still fantastic today. I suggest you do a song from all of these artists because you will find some you will love such as Kenny Loggins, Bruce Springsteen, Hall and Oats, Steve Perry (Journey), Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac), Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Willie Nelson, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Karnes, and Kenny Roger. These are just a few amazing people from this song. You know I think of today's artists and besides adding some of the original artists to a new version there really aren't that many legends today. Don't get me wrong I can pick a few people but not like how it was back then. Music has changed and artists have changed and it just isn't the same anymore.😓
