      Not a single one of those 47 ( or Dan Akroyd) got a single dime for making this song. They did it all for charity. I feel like today is artists wouldn't be able to take the time out of their busy schedule to get together for this so it wouldn't be able to be done together in one room like this song was the parts would have to be done separately if they could check their egos at the door and if they didn't expect to be paid. But I feel like it would never happen because modern artists would all want to much money and to be the biggest star in the group.

    I was working in radio at the time this song was released. It was a huge deal. One of the things that has been largely forgotten since the release of this record is that every radio station in America -- regardless of format -- stopped and played this song at the same time. The record was embargoed from airplay, and when it popped, you could go up and down your radio dial and virtually every single station was playing it, all at once. What a debut! And then right about that same time, there was the "Hands Across America," where people from coast-to-coast stood in a long line, holding hands, to form a continuous chain of humanity from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A friend of mine and I were playing golf that day, and we broke our round short to go stand in that line on Highway 80 West in Arlington, Texas (in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex) just to say we were part of it. Those were pretty amazing times.

    • @BonnieW50
      @BonnieW50 Год назад +7

      Weren't they though? It actually meant something then to be part of something that was in unity and love, instead now, we have so much unity in hate. If you try to even attempt to spread some love, you are labeled in a negative way. It's getting rough out there. For all those who still believe in humanity, stay strong. We live a world and society that makes us believe that loving everyone makes us weak minded and useless in society, but we are the ones that find the light in the dark. Don't ever forget that. We will always be different from the ones that choose to live in the darkness, but maybe, just maybe, we were not made to fit in, but to stand out. May your light shine through the darkness that everyone else sees around you. Don't let anyone take away your light in order for them to feel better about themselves.

    It'd be tough to replicate this today. There was an attempt in '94 for Haiti, but it didn't feel the same; didn't feel unified. The sign on the way in said "Leave Your Egos At The Door"; no one tried to outshine eachother, they just tried to do the song & service justice. Also, Quincy Jones is the MVP, here. His arrangement of solos, duets, and harmonies are what make this so incredible.

Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, and Al Jarreau sing the second verse, before Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, and Daryl Hall go through the second chorus.Co-writer Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, and Kim Carnes follow with the song's bridge. We Are the World" concludes with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles singing a full chorus, Wonder and Springsteen duetting, and ad libs from Charles and Ingram.

There were many big names that didn't get a solo and had no problem being in the background such as Harry Belafonte, Smokey Robinson, Lindsey Buckingham, Better Midler, June Pointer (the Pointer sisters) and more. It still brings tears to my eyes, its too bad, we as a nation do not have this unity right now.

      To add a bit; The USA project was initiated by Harry Belafonte. He & Ken Kragen (talent manager, activist & fundraiser) were in charge. They chose Quincy to direct & produce, chose MJ & Lionel to write it, obtained the talent, facilities, etc. Harry definitely could have had a solo, but I imagine he wanted to showcase the popular artists of the day, to raise the most money.

    I still get goosebumps whenever I hear this. And while I know you don't know all the artists, rest assured every single one of them is a superstar. In order of appearance, they are:
    Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen (the one you asked about), Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles.
    The chorus included these artists (alphabetically): Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belavonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Mario Cipollina (of Huey Lewis & the News), Johnny Colla (of Huey Lewis & the News), Sheila E., Bob Geldof, Bill Gibson (of Huey Lewis & the News), Chris Hayes (of Huey Llewis & the News), Sean Hopper (of Huey Lewis & the News), Jackie Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Bette Midler, John Oates, Jeffrey Osborne, Anita, June and Ruth Pointer (the Pointer Sisters), Smokey Robinson.
    The project was produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, and the group was conducted by Quincy Jones. Interestingly, 25 years later, an updated version of the song with a whole new batch of artists was done to raise money for Haiti, and that version is quite remarkable as well. Like the original, it includes a wide array of diverse stars from the music world, and even expands to include a verse done in rap. Any time you can get both rap and Tony Bennett all in one song, it's a must-listen. ruclips.net/video/S0NfzmgNvSA/видео.html

    Ashley, you are so young, beautiful and innocent. I say that with the kindest of respect. I loved watching your reaction as much as enjoyed watching We Are The World live along with the rest of the world back in 1985. Of course I am from a different generation. It is adorable that you have no idea who many of the artists are. They were the tops in their field at the time. You should look up information about the recording, and who the artist were. I think you will be surprised that you have probably heard a lot of their music, if you had ever listened to classic rock. These were wonderful times back then when we did not have so many of the struggles that the world is experiencing now. I believe my generation in many ways were the founders so to speak of we want all people, from all walks of life, from all over the world to be considered as one. One people no matter of race, creed, religious beliefs, and so on. They were good times, and I am so happy to watch you experience such a monumental time in my generations history.

    If you would like to react to Bruce Springsteen sometime, I really recommend reacting to the live version of The River from The River Tour, Tempe 1980 (that you can find on Bruce Springsteen's RUclips channel). An outstanding live performance that blows the studio recording out of the water. I think you would really appreciate that one.

    You need to go and listen to some of these LEGENDS that you know nothing about (even their NAMES). They just didn't show up because they were hacks. Listen to James Ingram's, "I Don't Have the Heart". Bruce Springsteen's, "Born to Run". Kenny Rogers', "Know When to Hold 'em". Paul Simon's, "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Billy Joel's, "Piano Man". Al Jarreau's, "After All". Steve Perry's (with Journey), "Stone in Love". Huey Lewis (and the News), "Do You Believe in Love". Daryl Hall (Hall and Oates), "Sarah Smiles". Willie Nelson, "Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain". Cyndi Lauper, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Kim Carnes, "Betty Davis Eyes". Bob Dylan, "Tangled Up in Blue". You are missing out, if you don't. Again...there is a reason why Quincy Jones had these artists sing this song. It wasn't just dumb luck.

    First time watching. Loved your reaction! You truly felt that AND you mentioned someone stepping up to do something like this (I was gonna suggest it to you anyway, lol), but PLEASE DO We Are The World 25 For Haiti - Official Video. More modern artists got together in same studio as the first one 25 years later to help raise funds for Haiti after a devastating earthquake back in 2010. It's just as cool of an experience to see other artists do the iconic parts and how they mixed it all. So good. Watch the intro too.

    The magic of this song is the different genres that came together - Country, western, soul, pop, R&B, mowtown, folk, etc. That is why is was more appealing to everyone. The heavy metal guys were pissed they werent invited. You can do an all R&B, or all country (like Band Aid) and it will never be as successful as this. I mean, they have Cyndi Lauper and Bob Dylan in the same room for crying out loud!

    Wyclef Jean made a disastrous remake of this song for the earthquake in Haiti. That version of this song was absolutely terrible. It was trash and they should be ashamed for trying to ruin this perfect song.
    Thankfully, people know the original and know that the talent from the people who made this song is so far above and beyond the "talent" that sang the other version. You can't even compare.
