No autotune. Just pure talent.

Every single person singing the lyrics (as opposed to the chorus) in this video is a titan in the American music industry. Between them, they have over 100 Grammy Awards and have sold over 2 BILLION albums.

The Chorus are also Titans who were told by Quincy Jones to leave their egos at the door!

@@rmweidner7596 Now I've _heard_ he was there to represent the American Film Industry (c) or something like that (at least Pop Up Video said that) but I honestly would not be very shocked if they said that later to cover for Dan being there.

One correction though, Phil Collins never played percussion on it. But he did play the drums on the British equivalent, which was Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas.

The blonde you couldn’t name was Kim Carnes. She is famous for “Betty Davis Eyes”, and was a big song writer in the 1980’s. The stories behind the making of this song is amazing, and some are rather funny despite the somber message of the song.

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

There was a famine in Africa and this was the American contribution - collecting money to help. Later - the summer 1985 "Live Aid" was arranged in London and Philadelphia (US) - in stadiums with artists who performed 20 minutes each - and then the other venue had artists/groups doing the same while the stage was prepared for the next performance - - the performance from the venue without artist(s) was shown at the other on big screens and on television world wide via satellites. An estimate of 1.9 billion viewers world wide - - me included from Denmark. The best performance of all - - was "Queen" from London. It can be seen here on KZbin - also with reactors if you wish - . You will probably know some of the music - - . "Queen" is still considered one of the best groups world wide - of all times - with The Beatles as no. 1. If you are not familiar with "Queen" - they are still touring - they started in 1970 - now with Adam Lambert in front - the original singer was Freddie Mercury who died in 1991 from AIDS you can find more on KZbin . Thank you for your reaction.
