[@robkrasinski6217]

Those four men are also still alive as of now. And they had some powerful songs in 1984 like Born in the USA, Footloose, Oh Sherrie, and Out of Touch. 1980's was one of the best decades in music. Michael Jackson who left us on June 25, 2009 was wearing dark sunglasses during We are the World, but so was Stevie Wonder, because he was blind since birth. I think he is totally blind and needed assistance at concerts getting to his keyboard or mic. Did he ever use a long white cane or guide dog? Can he read Braille with his fingers? I have vivid memories of things I did in the 80's and all the TV shows etc. including MTV which started Aug 1, 1981. But the 80's were also my school years where I was forced by law to ride a yellow thing to a building where I was forced to sit with other kids and listen to boring teachers and do paperwork and take tests and get homework. I graduated HS 1992. I had a few jobs in the 90's like Roy Rogers on the PA turnpike spring 1994-Nov 1995 cooked chicken and biscuits and Cracker Barrel put dishes away Apr 1997-Dec 2000. I got let go from both jobs. I have been unemployed since Dec 2000 and get Social Security and have money in a trust my late mom set up with her late brother in law. My mom passed away June 14, 2022 in the hospital because her lungs were weak and my uncle March 31, 2023 from strokes, he was rushed to the hospital but they couldn't save him. He was managing my brother and I's trust, and my aunt is my payee now for Social Security and my cousin (my aunt has a son and daughter) he is now taking over some things related to my brother and I helping us with stuff. My father passed away to a car hitting him while walking 2 miles from our house on March 8, 1986.

He shouldn't be there actually

[@Belfastboi]

Oh Al yeah. I love him. He’s trying to get there it’s a shit line. I bet they were like how do I have such a shit line ha

[@Belfastboi]

Huey is very flat

[@Connie-dd3qh]

He's drunk, they just came from the AMAs lol

[@kimowilliams7032]

Bruce understood the assignment! MJ KILLING IT, as usual! That man’s voice is 🔥!

[@treasurethetime2463]

Bruce was the soul of the song. He actually made the others go deeper from his energy every time.

[@myutwocar]

The look MJ looking at the triple.

[@McCargo2]

Watching rehearsals videos are awesome!

[@marjorambee3521]

What beautiful voices! Paul Simon genuinely sounds like a tiny angel ❤

[@therealjd4life]

I always felt like Bruce didn't want to be there because he never sings in the chorus but the truth is he was into it and happy to be a part of it

[@GoneWithTheScript]

The documentary Netflix just did does into this a bit, the people with the unusual types voices or should i say the non choir friendly ones simply didn’t sing on the chorus in order for the song to balance out , as instructed by Quincy Jones

[@enriquevilches5686]

We forget this was at 5 am even after a huge night credit to them

[@figmo397]

According to Billy Joel, the reason he and Springsteen don't always show up in the chorus is that in the other end of the room there was a pile of sandwiches and beers. The two of them kept going over there and getting Yet Another Sandwich and Yet Another Beer.

[@MelanieMaguire]

Wonderful to hear all those different vocal textures being used so well together. Masterful vocal arrangement for such unique voices. And how fascinating to watch the recording progress. :)

[@sammarx2600]

Bruce! Yes! Nailed it everytime 👏😎

[@rushgirl18]

this song is so iconic. So glad i grew up in the 80's! Steve perry, Hall and Cindy...awesome!! Huey!!!

[@alp852]

Most 80s thing ever- and Dianna Ross and Cyndi Lauper killed it.

[@Euphoftoday]

Cyndi Lauper was utterly superb.

[@Skip973]

Agreed - when Cyndi comes in, how do you not get the chills. Almost 40 years later, still does it for me.

[@Belfastboi]

And who is the guy after Willy?

[@deet7683]

Cyndi is so cute with her accent. “There’s people taulkin” 😂

[@corkystorky]

Al Jarreau (sang After All [I will be the one to hold you in my arms]) @@Belfastboi

[@phil6740]

This video is gold! Diana. Bruce, Kenny, Perry, Daryl, mj nailed every take. Tina & Billy perfect harmony. Dionne & Willy as different as their styles are, their duet is amazing. Their experience really shows - consummate professionals!

[@aidahoe2946]

KENNY LOGGINS KILLED IT

[@sdavis5001]

15:24 and around it…..MJ dressed to the nines, just hanging back. They used a recording of his part from so much going over it. They took the greatest clips from each group and did excellent editing to bring it together. They were exhausted…MJ in the studio totally alone rehearsing…them arriving in to do this after the awards show….going all night long….just these awesome things they did. Leave your ego at the door; they did it. Mpo SP has always been my fav line. At the end, they used that clip and the bridge ppl nailed it. History in the making.

[@linabean78]

I really love this. It shows that even the Greatests are not perfect, they even need a few takes to be perfect 🤗

[@weba]

Only few of them excel in every take, others need couple more takes

[@relativenormality]

Yes but they were operating in an era where there was no technical fall-back if could never nail it so their "not perfect" would be more than passable by today's standards.

[@gironez]

Love every minute...Bruce is a LION!!!! and Diana is pure Gold

[@billyshears67]

Oh Lord! How I love almost all these voices!

[@adamasy6732]

What humble and modest man he always was you even not see him rest in peace king of Pop

[@lolalawlis8557]

I ❤ This group of singers comming together for people that needed it. Great message!!

[@alannaevans2402]

Steve Perry and Daryl Hall were the dream duo here. Both were incredible, and nailed it every single time, just getting better as it went along. It's a shame they didn't throw them more lines instead of the chunk they gave to Bob Dylan of all people.

[@orangepeel3465]

Kenny Rogers could not figure it out at first but oh his voice is pretty.
