Tears for the song. Tears for the artists who left us too soon. And tears for the starving children. They’re still out there.

[@douglasg.9271]

This was played so much when it came out, I thought I had heard it enough. But, here we are 40 years later and I love it all over again. Goosebumps and tears.

[@alonzocoyethea6148]

Cindy Lauper's peak vocal on the coda..Wow. Then Bruce ad Stevie trading off, Ray Charles tellin 'em "Ohhhh, Lemme HEAR it ,y'all!!"..What a recording. And hey, Qunicy knew he what he was doing..Dude wrote/Produced so much great music for both Hollywood movies, T.V and artists, dude was a hit-making machine.

Huey Lewis said it during an interview with legendary record producer David Foster, rock promoter Bruce Allen and TV host Terry David Mulligan on an episode of the Canadian show "Good Rockin' Tonight".

[@jmcd4999]

I'm impressed that they were able to get each artist's distinct vocal traits so you don't even need to see the video to know who is singing.

[@davehess1019]

Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, etc. wow, that is quite a group of wonderful people

[@marshabailey1121]

The mindblowing thing was how low key Steve was perfect every take; he just stepped up to the mic and...GOLD. He freaked Daryl out and, apparently, Bruce and Huey.

[@Xone7]

Amazing iconic voices!! What an amazing piece of art, WE ARE THE WORLD!

[@CjJohns1776]

love their duo together " Don't Fight It"

[@michaelnorman3393]

When those opening notes begin to swell, it's like being transported back to 1985. The excitement of all these iconic artists working together was mind blowing at that time!! Love this 😅❤

[@NoCanDu]

Three of my favorite voices in a row: Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall ❤

[@xJRx77]

"Check your egos at the door". That was a sign that Quincy Jones hung on the entrance to the studio. And everyone did.

[@NicknLex]

Yep! We talked about that and more in our Documentary review that we released a day before posting this. Check it out if you’d like!

That's why Prince couldn't be there 😂

[@carstenhorn5075]

YESSSSSSSS!!!

[@nancy9891]

This is amazing. So much talent with a powerful message to never be forgotten or repeated by this group. We have lost so many of them. Thank you for sharing this with us today. 😢

[@Andres64B]

Will never see such a talented group in one's place again. This was truly once in a lifetime event.

[@markmurphy558]

In 1985, the artists were still the driving force in the music industry, and could still get together for a good cause. Nowadays, technology can produce so-called stars out of no talent models, and call all the shots. There is no money in charity, so why should the suits let their talent give away their performance.

[@DavidF-y4t]

At the time I had no idea Cyndi Lauper could *belt* like that.

[@justinhowell8873]

When you realize how many of these legends have now passed into the next realm………this is 🔥!!

[@garrettreed6166]

I still get teary eyed when I hear this. The video makes me smile to see so many people who aren't here anymore came together and gifted us with this. I still remember my first love and I spending time and hugging/comforting our French teacher while she watched it for the first time. She was well traveled and said it made the big world seem smaller and more comforting

[@carolcarol3938]

Steve Perry is the voice. I remember watching this in 1985....magic

If you haven't watched it already : grab a few bottles of wine and spend the whole day watching Live Aid '85 ; from the opening band , Status Quo in London to the finale of this song in Philly . We still watch it here in Wales , my wife , myself and our two sons. And.........the legendary performance of the reformed Pink Floyd at Live Aid '05 .

[@kenttegneskog]

Im from 1973 so ALL these artists was superstars under my upbringing, also the big famine in Ethiopia was on the news every day. Babies starving and hundreds of flies in their eyes. I’m crying every time i watching “we are the world”

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Bruce, Stevie, Cyndi Lauper, and Ray Charles were the MVP's of this thing my goodness. Also, I don't think enough respect goes to MJ for willingly taking a backseat here. Of all the people in that room, he was BY FAR the biggest star at that time and could have easily taken a larger role in the song but he let others shine.

[@magnetmac1]

Michael Jackson was arguably the biggest star at the time, but he did not have unilateral power to take a bigger role.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

The greatest moment in pop was when the OG started it all…Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. The 2nd greatest moment in pop was Live Aid 1985…also by Geldof…

Wow! The song is hitting me with so much more impact now than when it originally came out. I watched the documentary film the other night with rush after rush of chills and goosebumps, crying off and on and not sure why. Finally figured out that it was hearing this lyric, watching the artists and the events of that night, and looking at the current crises all over the world today. The world needs this song again. The world needs a similar musical miracle.

Wow! Brought me right back to the moment I saw this video when it came out! Such an amazing ensemble of different artists. Just incredible and so fricken emotional to this day !!! Great reaction! TY

[@scottanderson8420]

Great reaction and a great message that should remain evergreen. I’ve always loved the song, the message, and the community that is expressed by this all star cast of celebrity’s. The documentary is an essential watch to grasp what an accomplishment this really was. But the video of the song is more awesome. I want to pick a favorite singer or combination but I can’t really. It’s all so good. Seeing Lionel Ritchie last night on the Grammy awards show brought it all back. Thanks for this reaction and all your hard work on the channel. Now you have to react to Joni Mitchell’s debut performance of Both Sides Now from last nights Grammy Awards. I hope you saw it live. I did thanks to Kevin and your channel.

[@soulmate805]

We Are The World 1985 was the best. It was raw, inspiring, heartfelt and in the moment. A room full of legends with kind heart.

[@michelemichele3375]

It really was an incredible joining of talent (and squashing of egos) to pull this off. Great reaction! Thank you 🔥😽🔥

[@geocosmicvalentine]

When you watched the autographs at the beginning, Lex says, “Someone put their thumb.” That was STEVIE WONDER. In this era where people stopped buying vinyl albums I realize that this generation doesn’t know that all of Stevie Wonder’s album covers had his thumb print and his crudely written autograph (in block letters) in the credits. He also had the title of the album and his name printed in RAISED BRAILLE, usually on the back of the album and sometimes on the front. Just an FYI for you both.

[@garylewis9113]

Probably played as much as "Happy Birthday To You" or "Here Comes The Bride" in 1985, but in the hands on NicknLex in 2024 it's fresh and new...The perspective of years and the documentary burnish both the process and results of this most worthy project...Thanks, guys!

[@Diana2703]

I was just a young teen when this came out. Loved it then and even more now. Thanks for sharing.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Always felt when Cindy Lauper came in singing she ramped the whole song up 8 notches!! The paring of Bruce Springsteen and and Stevie Wonder was genius...and IMO Stevie stole the song in the 2nd half, like a quarterback catching the ball in the end zone for the wining touch down. the simul-casted this on world radio one day, and world was almost at peace for 7 minutes, then ever since we have let the world go down the shitter...

[@donsavignano4396]

The person who doesnt get any credit for this is HARRY CHAPIN who died a couple years earlier in a car crash. He donated the proceeds to every other show he performed to Food Banks across the USA. He started the ball rolling and influenced many of the artists in this video with his generosity and spirit

[@kimmomaki]

I think the artists-for-Ethiopia thing began in the UK, with Bob Geldof organizing a bunch of musicians to do the tune 'Do They Know It's Christmas' under the moniker Band-Aid. He went on to organize the Live Aid concert, which seemed to spread the idea to other nations like the USA and Canada.

Besides Prince and Madonna, another artist who wasn’t invited was Whitney Houston. Her debut album would be released 2 weeks after this recording session. Had they known how big it would be, I’m sure they would’ve invited her. After all, she was Dionne Warwick’s niece, and her first album contains a duet with Jermaine Jackson, so Michael and Quincy knew who she was.

Most people that are reacting to this song 40 years later don’t even realize it was 1985 when it was recorded. The New Wave, Punk Rock, Pop Rock, Heavy Metal, R & B, and the rising of Rap music. Time warp fact: a year later Jan. 28, 1986 was when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, and the year prior Jan. 27-28, 1984, Michael. Jackson’s hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial for his song Billy Jean.
