USA For Africa - We Are The World



Uploaded by: Milenio90
Video Description:(Show || Hide)
USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year.
The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people.
A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8, 2004.

Steve Perry should have been given more vocals at the end of the song, he beats Bruce's voice anyday (although I like Bruce too). Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles were perfect! I've always wondered why Dan Akroyd was singing????

There you are in the studio, delighted, perhaps even suprised Lionel gave you a call...looking forward to doing your bit and then in walks your vocal nemesis...Steve Perry. Oh dear. Now it doesn't matter what you do, you're going to sound like a right muppet compared to the mastery of Perry. I think I would have just got my coat and headed on home. 2:30, doesn't he just nail it!
