They recorded this following the American Music Awards, 1985, when the the artists were all in town for the awards. Quincy Jones recorded the instrumental tracks beforehand, and it took twelve hours to record. They worked through the night. I loved that Quincy Jones told them to check their egos at the door. The single raised $60 million at the time.

[@patcurrie9888]

Ego's checked at the door, except let's showcase a during or future pedophile!?! Yupp They did work thru the night, Lionel's thumb up meant this is the take we're going with, probably around 6am. Boy they were troopers, skipping the after parties and pulling an all nighter.

[@erasak]

@@patcurrie9888 Oh shut it, only an idiot, or someone who wants to bring down a black man and be racist would say that. Of course you’ll gullibly believe everything you hear except the truth, because how can a black man such as MJ ever be innocent, right? Racist ass..

Can you do at least a little bit of research before you spout garbage, bandwagon hopper? "Michael Jackson Is Acquitted on All Counts in Molestation Case", says many websites and newspapers. Get a life.

Thanks for info...but I knew this already...😂

[@tracyhennessey4451]

Thank you for NOT stopping the music every second. You do love music; many just love their own voice and continually stop and talk. Thank you.

[@timsparks4990]

The great Quincy Jones orchestrated this recording session. He had a sign over the door that read "Check Your Egos At The Door". And they all did! They let the master of ceremonies Quincy Jones run the show! They all knew that this wasn't about them. This was about helping the people in Africa. When you have Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie ask if you would like to be a part of something special, how in the heck do you say NO to that? Most of them didn't! How proud would anyone be to have been a part of that? Thank goodness we can continue to share this with later generations. People need to see that coming together for a united cause is POSSIBLE! Loved your reactions!

[@KHallesy]

I Love you both and your reactions are priceless. Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder! They sound so good together!

[@steviesellers]

Bob Geldorf started this Live Aid off with "Do they know its xmas " went to the states and met Quincy Jones and with Micheal Jackson and they did this song "We are the world" for the Live Aid charity in the U.S . These artists were at the Grammies and all agreed to spend a night recording this song and this is the video of the finished recording

[@dianaross-dubbed5594]

Does anyone remember that radio stations all around the world played this song all at the same time one day? I remember, I was in the car listening with my mother when it happened.

[@BRGKasumi77Main]

The music video was made in the night of January 28, 1985 on A&M Recording Studios (now renamed as Jim Henson Studios) and the single was released on March same year distributed by Columbia Records (now owned by Sony Music Entertainment) it is considered as a best charity single ever made, 46 singers united in one voice saying WE ARE THE WORLD!! With that song they founded USA For Africa (United Support of Artists For Africa). The reason for making this song was in order to fight against famine in Ethiopia. USA For Africa raised over $100 million over 30 years reported as on 2015. Keep making great reactions!

[@loneranger668]

Guys, besides the fact that all these stars gave their time, effort, and money for a single and humanitarian cause; that is amazing. Last thing I found amazing was how this gathering was kept secret and the security must have been out of this world. Great song and great people that pulled together to help their fellow man.

Billy Joel his "piano man" has been concidered one of the most popular song that has ever made. Like here in the Netherlands you have a top 2000 of all time every year and "the piano man" is always at the top 3. Together with Bohemian Rhapsody and Hotel California.

[@lizclarke5893]

Thanks, guys -- my favorite parts are Ray Charles, and also the collaboration of Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen -- (special note: Cyndi Lauper!) - lol

[@DawidC.909]

The idea of putting Stevie nad Bruce singing together was brilliant. For me this is the best part of the song.

[@sinjin4563]

How can you not recognize one of the pioneers of Modern music Smokey Robinson and how he didn’t have a part. Harry Belafonte one of the most legendary entertainers and legendary Civil Right activist, standing next to Dan Ackroyd created the We Are The World USA for African relief.

[@pharaoh2537]

That person you're talking about that's in the center to get all that done was Quincy Jones. Big enough legend himself at that time to tell them all leave your egos at the door. And thank God they did because it is a classic to hear. I love it like I heard it the first day back in the 80s...

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. Supergroup of legends 🤯 See Wikipedia for the full lineup and sequence for singing. Strongly 💪 suggested video 📹: Northern Lights perform Tears Are Not Enough 😢. Bryan Adams is 1 member of the supergroup Northern Lights. Canadian effort 🇨🇦 for Africa 🌍 relief. Dan Akroyd is the only Canadian. Wife and American actress Donna Dixon and Quincy Jones coaxed DA to sing for USA for Africa. When Dan Akroyd sang, fellow Canadian David Foster wallowed over him! DA was supposed to sing for Northern Lights! 🇨🇦 Quincy Jones said "He is ours!" Gentle ribbing between friends and collaborators forthe Michael Jackson album Thriller. L🤣L

[@kylaia3155]

Literally, that would've been amazing.

[@SableReaper66]

Yep Dan Aykroyd was in this. He was in the Blues Brothers and they sold a few million records. He also played a musician in a persona, he walked into an office in LA, he and his father were interviewing business managers at the time, and they accidentally went to a talent manager and not a money manager. The manager said “ so long as your here, would you like to come and join this We Are The World thing we’re doing?” Dan said sure. So that is how and why Dan is in this video right now

[@ReactToTheWorld]

Great story!

[@renee176]

Yep, that was Dan Aykroyd comedian/actor/and part of "The Blues Brothers".🙂

[@JJgibson1]

0:41 I think you was talking about “We Are The World 25 For Haiti” which was recorded in 2010 in the same studio as the original 25 years later. If you haven’t seen it check it out.

There were a lot of know artist in the chorus, Bette Miller, some of the Jackson La Toya and others, the Pointer Sisters

[@jrasicmark1]

Actually, they did a new We Are the World with 80 different artists to benefit earthquake victims in Haiti. There were some parts that some didn't like, but there were several spectacular singers involved, and they even included a new rap section with several legendary rappers. I'm not really a huge rap fan, but I still found it very inspiring! Barbra Streisand, Josh Grobin, Celine Dion, Tony Bennett, Janet Jackson, Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Hudson, Gladys Knight, Carlos Santana, Enrique Iglesias, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Myley Cyrus, and Justin Beiber took part, among many others. They even included Wyclef Jean, a Haitian artist. They also released a Spanish language version by a group of Latino superstars like Gloria Estefan, Carlos Santana, Jose Feliciano, Ricky Martin, and David Archuleta! Both are worth checking out!

You had mentioned about it in the beginning. There is a 25th anniversary version of the original called, ‘We are the World for Haiti’ with the famous artists at the time. Also one with KZbin creators made around the same time.

[@jaskau2462]

"Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid(UK) pretty much started these 'fund raising' - collaborations back in the 80's. The group was gathered together by Sir Bob Geldof. Ronnie James Dio did his part and put together a group of Heavy/Metal rockers for his song "Stars" back in those days. All these as a gesture of good will. Neat reaction guys 😁👍

[@pincil5333]

"We are the world" was a truly global event in 1985, I remember it well. Ethiopia was afflicted by famine and it was necessary to intervene, so the USA for Africa did a great work for good. And then to see all those great artists come together and sing a song like this, which has become immortal and eternal, was truly extraordinary. In that same year, an Italian hit was born, "Ti Sento" by Matia Bazar with Antonella Ruggiero. I don't know if you know them and yes I know, the Italo Disco pop music genre would have nothing to do with the reaction to "We are the world" but it would be so nice to see you react to this song, of which there is also the version in English "I feel you" and in Spanish "Te siento". Thank you and good work to you.

[@BabyGeneral96]
