Also, Lionel Richie deserves a hugeeee standing ovation for his role here. Hosted the AMAs, won prizes, went to the studio, kept solving problems, made everyone feel at ease, made them laugh, kept guiding people, SANGGGG, and stayed until the very end (and of course he co wrote the song!!!!). That man did A LOTTTT and we do not appreciate that enough.
Lionel looks like that classmate in high school who made sure the other classmate was able to copy the answer. He is such a nice person to everybody the way he looks out for them. Bruce (I love him a lot!), Lionel, Michael, Steve Perry (just because he is my all-time favorite), and Kenny Rogers (makes me cry watching the documentary) are in my top 5!
Let me get this right. Lionel Richie wrote this song with Michael Jackson, hosted the American Music Awards that night, (where he won multiple awards), and then brought all of these amazing artists together to record this song? In the same night? Are you freaking kidding me?? This answers the question as to who the hardest working man in showbusiness is. Much respect Lionel Richie! And to all of the other brilliant artists who helped create this magical song!
If you watched this video after watching it from Netflix, give me a thumbs up. You are not alone! I love this song and I even watched the latest version with the new generation of artists.
It’s great. And encouraging to see a room of superstars being insecure in each other’s presence; everyone has idols, everyone feels less-than next to someone. Just be you.
Favorite part for sure was learning that Stevie Wonder showed Dylan what to sing by singing it impersonating Dylan’s own voice. In the nearly dropping the ball category, Al Jarreau sure jumped the gun tying one on. You can see his eyes looking misty and distant even in the choruses, which were done before the solos! You can see in the video that unlike most soloists, there’s a slight jump cut where they must have had to edit his solo parts from multiple takes, thus his head movement doesn’t match in the edit. (My guess is the poor guy was probably about to lose his shit in a room with all those soul giants. Can’t say I blame him, just imagine.)
Estou chorando aqui, nunca imaginei que tinha dado tanto trabalho reunir tantas celebridades em um só lugar ,em prol de uma ação social que mudaria o mundo
Antes de assistir o documentário, pensei que eles tinham chegado lá e cada um tinha cantando um trecho dá música, mas já pensou em reunir celebridades e encontrar o tom de voz de cada um ,que emocionante estou chorando aqui
Já pensou errar a música e ter que rebobinar a fita que levaria 5 minutos, as 4 horas da manhã? Todos cansados, estressados mais estavam lá em prol de um só resultado acabar com a fome na África
This song is timeless, groundbreaking, never get sick of listening to it. the contribution these gifted US artists have made in support of world hunger is truely outstanding, amazing one country can produce this many music stars just shows how blessed the USA is...
Acabo de ver el documental en Netflix, y se me erizó la piel al escuchar de nuevo y ver el video musical de esta obra maestra. Grande Lionel Richie, y ni se diga de Michael Jackson, el más joven de todos ellos, en sus 20s y siendo ya una leyenda, pudo estar de rumba pero prefirió estar ahí y ponerle su alma y corazón en la creación y producción de esta obra musical para causa benéfica. Un genio en todo el sentido de la palabra 👏

I Agree!!!! Today’s singers will never know these greats and legends. They sang and weren’t out for the fame (though it naturally came). They sang because they loved to sing!
Where’s the time … listening now in 2025 … back then, no smartphones, no AI, famous artists on posters & gadgets, recording music on tape 😊 … from my experience, the 80’s was a time with a lot of creativity and emotions. Having this song still on a small record and on the back side, the song Grace (Quincy J)
Aqui do Brasil. Ver esse clipe após assistir ao filme é muito mais emocionante como se tivesse sido gravado agora. Nunca mais teremos algo igual. Porque hoje nem teríamos 40 ídolos pop da geração atual com essa mesma qualidade. Os amantes do pop são eternamente gratos por essa obra prima! Obrigada, obrigada, e obrigada!
I completely comprehend Diana Ross's sentiments when she sheds tears and expresses her desire for that night to never end. She, along with everyone present, was acutely aware that it marked a singular moment in their lives and in the broader scope of humanity. It is a legacy destined to endure for generations.
Wow!! "USA FOR AFRICA"❤ Lindas voces, lindo recuerdo, Michael Jackson.. la sigo escuchando porque me encanta.. quién más la escucha, hoy 13-01-25.. les deseo un gran año nuevo, lleno de Salud y Vida!! Que nos vaya bien a todos, en nombre de Díos, amén🙏🤲💟💪💯

I cried watching the Netflix documentary. What came across is the humanity and humility of these incredible artists who came together and created something special. Amazing! ✨
That’s the way the world “used” to be. Things change; and not always for the better. This song brought us back together for a moment, but then is was back to the same ole things…
INCREiBLE que hayan tardado 38 años en pasar un documental sobre como se hizo esta cancion. Hoy gracias a NETFLIX; tiene un valor totalmente diferente para los que amamos la cultura POP y vemos que hoy no le llegan ni a los talones los "artistas" de hoy a esta BESTIALIDAD de talentos.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, ojalá se hubiera hecho antes de que murieran las estrellas que ya no están, sobre todo a MJ, los homenajes se hacen en vida
At 11 years old I remember watching this and being so excited to buy the album. I must have listened to it 1000 times in my life. When RUclips came out I was listening to it again.
Finished watching the Netflix documentary some hours ago and I realized he(Micheal Jackson) and Lionel Richy wrote this beautiful piece and Quincy brought them all together. This is amazing work will forever be remembered
Agreed. For me, it's pairing Dionne Warwick with Willie Nelson. Not a tandem that would have occurred to me (or, per the documentary, Dionne!), but it works beautifully. The Huey/Cyndi/Kim trio is another example. Whatever one's opinion of the song (and mine has never been very high), the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the recording-and the many types of great singing-are hard to argue with.
This song should have won several prizes for its message and beautiful melody It should be heard frequently for people are loosing everything the world had, especially feelings.
Definitely the greatest night of pop! Truly talented people only! Only show up one night and record this amazing song! Shoutout to the singers, composers and the guys who arranged the singers parts by just listening to their albums. Quincy is def a remarkable person who built greatest singers!
Whoelse is here after seeing the Netflix documentary. The greatest night in Pop? Edit- Wow! So much likes, it's great to see many people loved the documentary the same way I did. I doubt if such an iconic moment can ever be created in the world again.
So very relevant 40 years later- we are all one big part of this worlds family - RIP Quincy Jones and all great artists gone now from this video- angels watching over us always I believe. Such a beautiful song and group of voices ❣️
Eine WAHNSINNS-Nummer, bis heute: Lyrics ausserordentlich anspruchsvoll, ausgezeichnete Stimmen - allein Cindy Lauper scheint mir irgendwie deplatziert - dennoch: bis heute einer besten Popsongs überhaupt 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This might have been a decent song except for Bruce Springsteen. He has the worst voice ever and totally ruins it! Just horrible! Who did he know to experience such "success"?
Lyrics: [Lionel Richie] There comes a time when we heed a certain call [Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder] When the world must come together as one [Stevie Wonder] There are people dying [Paul Simon] Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life [Paul Simon & Kenny Rogers] The greatest gift of all [Kenny Rogers] We can't go on pretending day by day [James Ingram] That someone, somewhere will soon make a change [Tina Turner] We are all part of God's great big family [Billy Joel] And the truth, you know, (love is all we need) [Michael Jackson] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Diana Ross] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Diana Ross & Michael Jackson] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Dionne Warwick] Woah, send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their (lives will be stronger and free) [Willie Nelson] As God has shown us by turning stones to bread [Al Jarreau] And so we all must lend a helping hand [Bruce Springsteen] We are the world, we are the children [Kenny Logins] We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Steve Perry] Woah, there's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Daryl Hall] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Michael Jackson] When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all [Huey Lewis] But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall [Cyndi Lauper] Well, well, well, let us realize, oh, that a change can only come [Kim Carnes] When we... (stand together as one) [All] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Bob Dylan] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Bob Dylan & All] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [All & Ray Charles] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (let's start giving) [Ray Charles] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Stevie Wonder] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Bruce Springsteen] There's a choice we're making And we're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [James Ingram] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Ray Charles] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me This comment took a lot of work, so please like the comment and the video
I just saw the Netflix special and I had to come to see the video. This is my life's sweet melody, and the Boss' part for me gets me every time. Michael gives it that innocence that it needed and Cindy's cry is OUR cry for the world to heal, speacially Africa. WE the children of the 80's truly understand why we were raised by our parents saying " eat all your food, their are children starving in Africa" ..... ✊
My moms a gen x who always has said that EXACT thing to me I admire generation X, as a gen z I think it’s the best generation yet with some really amazing people and there’s a lot to learn from most of you
HERMOSO DOCUMENTAL CUANDO ESTABA LA CREMA Y NATA DE ESTOS CANTANTES ORGULLOSO DE ESTAR EN ESOS TIEMPOS YA NO HABRA MUSICA COMO ESTAS ESTRELLAS INOLVIDABLE
This might have been a decent song except for Bruce Springsteen. He has the worst voice ever and totally ruins it! Just horrible! Who did he know to experience such "success"?
No glitter, no auto tune, no mumbling rap, just pure talent and soul. That’s why this version never gets old. The newer versions are just a mere shade of this masterpiece.
@@JaMie-rf1es It would have helped more if they just replayed this song but then for Haiti. No need to get the multitude of artists that were present during the Haiti-version. The new version was also more expensive to make.
Como agradezco a mis viejos poder enseñarme sobre la musica de los 70/80/90 no hay comparación que grandes artistas,ya no se hace música como esta,27 años y espero no se pierda está musica y se siga escucha por mas años
i miss the days when artists genuinely cared for the world, nowadays artists will preach about helping but do absolutely nothing to help, i miss the days when artists sang from their souls, and their songs had meanings, nowadays all artists sing about is sex, money, drugs and all that. I miss the days when music had meaning and sent a message, and most of all i miss all these legends
Now they pass all the responsibility to the government so they can scape of it. They hide behind the government so they can just talk and talk and do nothing.
Michael Jackson restera pour moi le king de la pop. J ai 43 ans et je suis fan du chanteur qui a vendu du rêve et qui a montré son talent. Michael Jackson est et reste un chanteur légendaire.
The world used to be a real different place and this is the proof. Just look around, no emotions get passed on. That’s why people come back and watch this. Truly timeless
Gotta respect the 80's... what an incredible display of raw talent all over this here. but Willie always gets me like no one... soo loose..., Quincy did an amazing job!
Just watched the documentary on netflix about the making of this song ''The Greatest Night in Pop'' and was amazing seeing so many legends, each contributing in their own way to make this song so iconic. So much talent all at once. Incredible. Also the stories Lionel Richie tells about Michael Jackson when they were writing this at his house, including his impressions of Michael, are hilarious. 🤣 Michael and Steevie Wonders were borderline music savants, just amazing to watch. They guy who matched the voices and duos was also amazing!!
Hello from Brasil! Assisti hoje e fiquei maravilhado! No final me emocionei com a citação sobre a casa. Documentário incrível sobre um marco musical sem precedentes
I mean it wasn't called autotune then but there's a lot of voice correction on certain parts at least, just listen to MJ's first verse (not that he needed it)
Michael jackson will always ve my favorite artist and definitely the best human being, how kind, how humble how sweet, there will never be someone like him! Much respect for lionel ritchie too
One of the best songs ever made and sang. We'll never see this again. I cannot believe how many of these singers have now passed on. Their legacy definitely lives on. Amen.
My favorite part of the Netflix documentary is when the cameraman said he wrote up his invoice for the gig and then learned everyone involved volunteered. And here he is 40 years later, appearing in the documentary, knowing he was a part of something far greater than one night's pay.
It's 2024, I'm 18 now and this song got up in the mainstream again because of the documentary. I'm listening to it for the thousandth time in my life, but only now I could comprehend how big this attitude was, only now I could recognize everyone in that video and see how much of a world change this was! So, that's the first time I'm crying listening to it! Simply amazing!!
I want you to know that there was a better time in this Country. People weren't giant cxnts like today. And the majority used to call out BS like weponized racism and gay gender BS. Blm was called the Black Panther Party and was considered the black version of the KKK which is what they are.
Acabo de ver el documental de Netflix y eso me hizo venir a buscar esta canción, no imaginaba que fue grabada en un día, a la madrugada, ver el documetal me hizo buscar a Kenny Rogers y escuchar de nuevo el jugador, sentí mucha emoción al ver a Stevie Wonder, ver lo humilde y que era Michael Jackson, y saber que el mundo fue injusto con él. Michael Jackson seras el rey por siempre
I was a secretary for the CFO of CBS Records when this project was happening. Being on the executive level floor, I witnessed a lot of the 'fluster' and intensity around the promotion of this. I was in tears watching the Netflix documentary "The Greatest Night in Pop". I witnessed, first hand, the frenzied excitement of it on a business/marketing level. To combine that with the emotion that went on in the studio - something I had just imagined happening all these years - to see it through this documentary - was just overwhelming!!! This was truly a once in a lifetime event. And since I'm practically at the end of my lifetime, I can say this with confidence!!
Yo llorando esta canción con sus recuerdos en 1985 hoy 4 de Enero de 2025 con los q están y los q se ha ido. Yo a mis 58 años puedo decir que viví los tiempos en que la música era un Diamante en bruto. Los ochenteros y noventeros podemos decirlo pues lo llevamos en nuestras venas por siempre y la prueba esta en la transcendencia que ha tenido en la juventud actual y diría que en la futura y las que estarán por venir.
Tengo 40 y hoy 6 de enero también quiebran mi garganta estos genios de otra época, no se puede comparar con lo vacío y repugnante de hoy en día, ojalá vivieran por siempre
@divaguevara1349 adhiero al 100% en todas tus palabras. Yo era muy chiquita, fueron tiempos de gloria y dorados!!!!. La música de hoy es lamentable, por eso sigo escuchando esta música de los 80 y 90. Saludos!! 😉
I'm 15 years old now, and I grew up listening to this nostalgic song. Even though it came out long before my time, it still feels like a part of my childhood.
I don’t remember much in todays’ fast paced days, but I’ll tell you what… I vividly remember in 1985 my 2nd grade teacher sitting us in a circle and singing along to this song. We would first stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to start the day, then she would sit us down and walk over to the record player and start playing this song. We all sang together in harmony. It was beautiful. God I cherish and miss those moments. We were living in some of the best times of our lives, and didn’t even know it. BTW…. 25 years later I married her niece 😀
Man i loved every second of Dylan's presence in the song and in the doc..He doesnt know how and what to sing, he seems lost in the room, but in the end he delivers a classic part which is automatically recognisable as his! And fits great to the song, too. What a legend.
I’m literally in tears especially watching the end of the Netflix series 😢that quote by Lionel’s dad about (the house)and the ambiance omg… and understanding that most of them aren’t here anymore..thank you isn’t enough 😢🫡paved the way for new artists on how it’s done to see the dedication!!. I’m literally inspired and I’m 35 I miss that era. I may come back to comment again lol. This was amazing!
sinceramente me sigo emocionando con 53 años al ver este video llenos de grandes de la Musica..gracias a todos a los q siguen en este Mundo y a los q nos alumbran desde arriba..mi corazob los ama..saludos desde argentina
I just watched "Pop's Big Night" on Netflix. It is absolutely impressive... that even watching it on Netflix it is impossible to believe how it was achieved "when they never rehearsed for weeks", leaving the Grammys for hours and hours in a studio. 47 Pop stars. You won't regret it, and it's awesome.
37 years of this wonderful masterpiece today! This has to be one of the best songs ever, from the songwriting, to the melody, to the message it conveys, and we can't ignore the sheer amount of talent!
For me second behind Stevie, but... You're also right, Michael is adorable. 😍 And he was the head behind all that with Ritchie, so... Honour and glory.
You act like he's the only one that sounds like that. His soft spoken vocal runs in the family. Listen to Janet and La Toya, and you won't find much difference.
I'm glad Prince didn't show up for this. Huey Lewis's part has always hit me hard (according to the Netflix documentary Huey took Prince's part). Also.. Cyndi Lauper's part is just amazing! So raw and powerful. Plus that Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen combo! It was also very nice to see the support Bob Dylan got in order to sing his part. They did a really great job matching vocals.

El documental es una joya, muy emocionante,, saludos bro
I heard this song for the 1st time in 1987 from my Dad. I was 4years old, he always hummed the song! Now I'm 39 , my last born son is 6. He came home from school today singing the chorus.... It really took me back 35years ago! My Dad is 68 today enjoying his retirement! Over Easter holidays I'll make sure we celebrate together....& Sing together! This is what we call passing generation to generation!!
The ending really hit me and I’m 35 now. I just commented about the quote Lionel’s dad mentioned (the house) and the ambiance of Lionel saying “this person was right here she was right here “ 😢😢dang man makes you appreciate life more
Muy lindo documental que no solo nos muestra la cocina de algo hermoso sino que nos hace revivir cosas que hemos vividos. Yo me siento como Diana, no querìa que termine nunca. Como cuando estàs en un proyecto grupal grosso, le dedicàs mucho tiempo, mucha energìa y de pronto llegàs a la meta y viene el vacìo. Y sì, tambièn llorè mucho vièndolo. Saludos desde Argentina (i dont speak englis, sorry)
@@mcentepede It's even better when you learn that cyndi actually couldn't stand the song as a whole but was still honored to be a part of it. Also, she actually toned down her singing so she wouldn't overshadow kim Carnes.
As soon as Michael comes in on the first chorus, the tears start up for me. Though he and Lionel wrote it together, the heart and soul of the song really feel like a Michael song above all else. The bridge is definitively Michael...
So much more appreciation for this song after watching the Netflix documentary and seeing how tirelessly the artists worked for this song. Well done!🙏🙏🙏♥♥♥

I was born in generation Z but can definitely feel the spirits and unity of all famous singers. All their voices are impeccable and fabulous. They showed Africa their compassion, sympathy and humanity. Most of them have passed away nowadays but I can feel it immensely whenever I listen to it.
@@domingosneto7455 Its a bad song becose of few reasons, it stereotypes Africa as a continent who need help, where people are unhappy - its not true... they dont need that, thay want to be treat like a humans... About what is that song? Africa? What country? to what kind of people? This song is bullshit its not help its cruel
😂😂😂😂😂 Acá en Uruguay lo pasan y no puedo creer que algunos no la conocían. Parece que en el GH de Brasil hicieron lo mismo, vi alguno comentando "BBB"(Big Brother Brasil) 😂😂😂😂
I like to imagine that Michael told everyone to come to the studio wearing just whatever, only so he could appear with the most and freshest drip possible lmaoo

Also, Lionel Richie deserves a hugeeee standing ovation for his role here. Hosted the AMAs, won prizes, went to the studio, kept solving problems, made everyone feel at ease, made them laugh, kept guiding people, SANGGGG, and stayed until the very end (and of course he co wrote the song!!!!). That man did A LOTTTT and we do not appreciate that enough.
totally agree
He is so down to earth. And also Michael Jackson.
Difícil lidar com o ego das estrelas, mas no final surgiu essa maravilha que se perdurará por várias gerações.
Agreeeeee 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Lionel looks like that classmate in high school who made sure the other classmate was able to copy the answer. He is such a nice person to everybody the way he looks out for them. Bruce (I love him a lot!), Lionel, Michael, Steve Perry (just because he is my all-time favorite), and Kenny Rogers (makes me cry watching the documentary) are in my top 5!
Let me get this right.
Lionel Richie wrote this song with Michael Jackson, hosted the American Music Awards that night, (where he won multiple awards), and then brought all of these amazing artists together to record this song? In the same night?
Are you freaking kidding me??
This answers the question as to who the hardest working man in showbusiness is.
Much respect Lionel Richie! And to all of the other brilliant artists who helped create this magical song!
Dont forget he robbed a bank and ran for president the next day. The guy was a juggernaut.
Watch the documentary.
I know, right? He should also tried the lottery that night.
he didnt sleep at least two day for this i guess ... they finish recording at 7AM ... crazy night
He also performed at AMAs during that night. Just… wow.
If you watched this video after watching it from Netflix, give me a thumbs up. You are not alone! I love this song and I even watched the latest version with the new generation of artists.
It’s great. And encouraging to see a room of superstars being insecure in each other’s presence; everyone has idols, everyone feels less-than next to someone. Just be you.
Favorite part for sure was learning that Stevie Wonder showed Dylan what to sing by singing it impersonating Dylan’s own voice. In the nearly dropping the ball category, Al Jarreau sure jumped the gun tying one on. You can see his eyes looking misty and distant even in the choruses, which were done before the solos! You can see in the video that unlike most soloists, there’s a slight jump cut where they must have had to edit his solo parts from multiple takes, thus his head movement doesn’t match in the edit. (My guess is the poor guy was probably about to lose his shit in a room with all those soul giants. Can’t say I blame him, just imagine.)
Estou chorando aqui, nunca imaginei que tinha dado tanto trabalho reunir tantas celebridades em um só lugar ,em prol de uma ação social que mudaria o mundo
Antes de assistir o documentário, pensei que eles tinham chegado lá e cada um tinha cantando um trecho dá música, mas já pensou em reunir celebridades e encontrar o tom de voz de cada um ,que emocionante estou chorando aqui
Já pensou errar a música e ter que rebobinar a fita que levaria 5 minutos, as 4 horas da manhã? Todos cansados, estressados mais estavam lá em prol de um só resultado acabar com a fome na África
This song is timeless, groundbreaking, never get sick of listening to it. the contribution these gifted US artists have made in support of world hunger is truely outstanding, amazing one country can produce this many music stars just shows how blessed the USA is...
Acabo de ver el documental en Netflix, y se me erizó la piel al escuchar de nuevo y ver el video musical de esta obra maestra. Grande Lionel Richie, y ni se diga de Michael Jackson, el más joven de todos ellos, en sus 20s y siendo ya una leyenda, pudo estar de rumba pero prefirió estar ahí y ponerle su alma y corazón en la creación y producción de esta obra musical para causa benéfica. Un genio en todo el sentido de la palabra 👏
Y pensar que no llegó Prince
Facts ❤
Sin duda una joya de canción, cantautores irremplazables, que no durmieron todo un día por grabar tan perfecta canción.
Super....
Yo prefiero un fin de semana como la de ellos que estar tirando licor. Se me erizo la piel carajo

I Agree!!!! Today’s singers will never know these greats and legends. They sang and weren’t out for the fame (though it naturally came). They sang because they loved to sing!
💯
Where’s the time … listening now in 2025 … back then, no smartphones, no AI, famous artists on posters & gadgets, recording music on tape 😊 … from my experience, the 80’s was a time with a lot of creativity and emotions. Having this song still on a small record and on the back side, the song Grace (Quincy J)
Houve alguns ajustes na voz, ficou perfeito ❤
I miss the 80’s so bad!
Great decade
Aqui do Brasil. Ver esse clipe após assistir ao filme é muito mais emocionante como se tivesse sido gravado agora. Nunca mais teremos algo igual. Porque hoje nem teríamos 40 ídolos pop da geração atual com essa mesma qualidade. Os amantes do pop são eternamente gratos por essa obra prima! Obrigada, obrigada, e obrigada!
Concordo, foi simplesmente Magnífico e Inesquecível ❤

I completely comprehend Diana Ross's sentiments when she sheds tears and expresses her desire for that night to never end. She, along with everyone present, was acutely aware that it marked a singular moment in their lives and in the broader scope of humanity. It is a legacy destined to endure for generations.

That part got me too. I cried when I watched that documentary
Amen
Eu percebi tb que aquela emoção de Diana era por entender que o momento seria eterno
Tbem chorei vendo a Diana triste.
I still get chills seeing all these singers together after all these years

I cried watching the Netflix documentary. What came across is the humanity and humility of these incredible artists who came together and created something special. Amazing! ✨
That’s the way the world “used” to be. Things change; and not always for the better. This song brought us back together for a moment, but then is was back to the same ole things…
Bellissimo
they spend a whole night for did this epic song - kudos to everyone!
The ending where Lionel Richie was talking about MJ no longer being here was heartbreaking. He was such a gift to this world.
Humanity n humility is dying
INCREiBLE que hayan tardado 38 años en pasar un documental sobre como se hizo esta cancion. Hoy gracias a NETFLIX; tiene un valor totalmente diferente para los que amamos la cultura POP y vemos que hoy no le llegan ni a los talones los "artistas" de hoy a esta BESTIALIDAD de talentos.
Concuerdo completamente. Una obra maestra sin duda.
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, ojalá se hubiera hecho antes de que murieran las estrellas que ya no están, sobre todo a MJ, los homenajes se hacen en vida
Hermosa canción y talento . Con un gran propósito, q hermosa generación ❤
totalmente de acuerdo, nunca mas existiran artistazos como estooos😢
Son unos genios!!! ❤
At 11 years old I remember watching this and being so excited to buy the album. I must have listened to it 1000 times in my life. When RUclips came out I was listening to it again.
Finished watching the Netflix documentary some hours ago and I realized he(Micheal Jackson) and Lionel Richy wrote this beautiful piece and Quincy brought them all together. This is amazing work will forever be remembered
True!!!!
El documental es genial, toda la familia nos quedamos pegados a la pantalla viéndolo. Y luego lo repetimos. Muy recomendado.
ME TOO Quincy Jones is truley a genius!! Mj Lionel Richie chappau 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah. Me too... Lionel is a class act. Bruce Springsteen, Steve Perry, Stevie Wonder and Huey Lewis really stood out as professionals too.
Michael es un rey. 😍
Now in 2024 we can look back at the incredible array of stars there were in that era. It was a golden era.
Agree! Its a desert nowadays
'70s and '80s were indeed a Golden era of music. From soul to rock, All Around the music generees..
Yes indeed..🙏❤️
a golden era that
will never be seen again
❤❤❤❤
The contrast between Stevie’s and Bruce’s voice gives me chills every time
yeah ,100% true
Una locura
Odd but perfectly fit
Agreed. For me, it's pairing Dionne Warwick with Willie Nelson. Not a tandem that would have occurred to me (or, per the documentary, Dionne!), but it works beautifully. The Huey/Cyndi/Kim trio is another example. Whatever one's opinion of the song (and mine has never been very high), the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the recording-and the many types of great singing-are hard to argue with.
Absolutely!! Such an important duo right there!
Love this song and video. Some of them are gone but we will never forget there amazing voices.
This song should have won several prizes for its message and beautiful melody It should be heard frequently for people are loosing everything the world had, especially feelings.

Definitely the greatest night of pop! Truly talented people only! Only show up one night and record this amazing song! Shoutout to the singers, composers and the guys who arranged the singers parts by just listening to their albums. Quincy is def a remarkable person who built greatest singers!
Whoelse is here after seeing the Netflix documentary. The greatest night in Pop?
Edit- Wow! So much likes, it's great to see many people loved the documentary the same way I did. I doubt if such an iconic moment can ever be created in the world again.

Rest in peace, Quincy Jones. You showed the power of music... 40 years later, I'm still listening...from South Korea 😢
As do I... I shared this for it's an Anthem, maybe the only one gathering so many musicians for a goal... A goal to reach altogether.
❤😢
So very relevant 40 years later- we are all one big part of this worlds family - RIP Quincy Jones and all great artists gone now from this video- angels watching over us always I believe. Such a beautiful song and group of voices ❣️
Dejo un buen legado❤
We all listen to his music! Music connecting people!!!Cause we are the world....❤!
Diana & Michael's soft voices just go together so beautifully in that verse.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already, but whoever decided to put Bruce & Stevie’s voices together, is a GENIUS!
This might have been a decent song except for Bruce Springsteen. He has the worst voice ever and totally ruins it! Just horrible! Who did he know to experience such "success"?

I just saw the Netflix special and I had to come to see the video. This is my life's sweet melody, and the Boss' part for me gets me every time. Michael gives it that innocence that it needed and Cindy's cry is OUR cry for the world to heal, speacially Africa. WE the children of the 80's truly understand why we were raised by our parents saying " eat all your food, their are children starving in Africa" ..... ✊
My moms a gen x who always has said that EXACT thing to me
I admire generation X, as a gen z I think it’s the best generation yet with some really amazing people and there’s a lot to learn from most of you

@@pokemongo7456 nice
Stop the negative vibes and stop comparing, the latest version is for helping Haiti not for us to judge the singers!
@@JaMie-rf1es It would have helped more if they just replayed this song but then for Haiti. No need to get the multitude of artists that were present during the Haiti-version. The new version was also more expensive to make.
Como agradezco a mis viejos poder enseñarme sobre la musica de los 70/80/90 no hay comparación que grandes artistas,ya no se hace música como esta,27 años y espero no se pierda está musica y se siga escucha por mas años
i miss the days when artists genuinely cared for the world, nowadays artists will preach about helping but do absolutely nothing to help, i miss the days when artists sang from their souls, and their songs had meanings, nowadays all artists sing about is sex, money, drugs and all that. I miss the days when music had meaning and sent a message, and most of all i miss all these legends
That means you’re not seeing the right artists. That’s the mainstream media. Most great artists now are independent.

Gotta respect the 80's... what an incredible display of raw talent all over this here. but Willie always gets me like no one... soo loose..., Quincy did an amazing job!
a timeless classic, all the singers are so fabulous!
Just watched the documentary on netflix about the making of this song ''The Greatest Night in Pop'' and was amazing seeing so many legends, each contributing in their own way to make this song so iconic. So much talent all at once. Incredible. Also the stories Lionel Richie tells about Michael Jackson when they were writing this at his house, including his impressions of Michael, are hilarious. 🤣 Michael and Steevie Wonders were borderline music savants, just amazing to watch. They guy who matched the voices and duos was also amazing!!
finished watching it, it was inevitable to cry at the part where Richie points out where everyone was standing
Hello from Brasil! Assisti hoje e fiquei maravilhado! No final me emocionei com a citação sobre a casa. Documentário incrível sobre um marco musical sem precedentes
Me too, came to watch the finished product. They are genuises!! I am a new fan of Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson!
@@lionelmesi7953same! I cried, i didn't think i would
I also watched it last night. Nostalgic to say the least and Amazing to see so much talent that I was too young to really appreciate in 1985.
No Auto tune Just Pure Talent.. I love this Original Version
I mean it wasn't called autotune then but there's a lot of voice correction on certain parts at least, just listen to MJ's first verse (not that he needed it)
Michael jackson will always ve my favorite artist and definitely the best human being, how kind, how humble how sweet, there will never be someone like him! Much respect for lionel ritchie too

RIP Lionel Ritchie!
Thank you JESUS for allowing me to be born in 1985 to witness all THIS GREATNESS!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My favorite part of the Netflix documentary is when the cameraman said he wrote up his invoice for the gig and then learned everyone involved volunteered. And here he is 40 years later, appearing in the documentary, knowing he was a part of something far greater than one night's pay.
I also hoped that he got paid good this time, almost 40 years later!
Yeah the biggest stars in history didn't pay the crew. It's too funny no matter the purpose😅
It's 2024, I'm 18 now and this song got up in the mainstream again because of the documentary.
I'm listening to it for the thousandth time in my life, but only now I could comprehend how big this attitude was, only now I could recognize everyone in that video and see how much of a world change this was! So, that's the first time I'm crying listening to it! Simply amazing!!
As tina says: Simply the best.
Awe, now i'm nearly in tears!
I want you to know that there was a better time in this Country. People weren't giant cxnts like today. And the majority used to call out BS like weponized racism and gay gender BS. Blm was called the Black Panther Party and was considered the black version of the KKK which is what they are.

Acabo de ver el documental de Netflix y eso me hizo venir a buscar esta canción, no imaginaba que fue grabada en un día, a la madrugada, ver el documetal me hizo buscar a Kenny Rogers y escuchar de nuevo el jugador, sentí mucha emoción al ver a Stevie Wonder, ver lo humilde y que era Michael Jackson, y saber que el mundo fue injusto con él. Michael Jackson seras el rey por siempre

@@jonathanoliveira3633 'A noite que mudou o pop' na Netflix. Muito bom

Diste en el punto del la verdad
I was a secretary for the CFO of CBS Records when this project was happening. Being on the executive level floor, I witnessed a lot of the 'fluster' and intensity around the promotion of this. I was in tears watching the Netflix documentary "The Greatest Night in Pop". I witnessed, first hand, the frenzied excitement of it on a business/marketing level. To combine that with the emotion that went on in the studio - something I had just imagined happening all these years - to see it through this documentary - was just overwhelming!!! This was truly a once in a lifetime event. And since I'm practically at the end of my lifetime, I can say this with confidence!!
Lovely memory ❤
❤ Que privilégio!
Thank you very much for sharing your testimony. You must have had many other interesting and memorable experiences in your life. Congratulations!

Yo a mis 58 años puedo decir que viví los tiempos en que la música era un Diamante en bruto. Los ochenteros y noventeros podemos decirlo pues lo llevamos en nuestras venas por siempre y la prueba esta en la transcendencia que ha tenido en la juventud actual y diría que en la futura y las que estarán por venir.
Estoy contigo tengo 59 años me acuerdo de esta canción 1985 como ahora saludos desde Toa alta PR USA feliz ano nuevo 2025
Tengo 40 y hoy 6 de enero también quiebran mi garganta estos genios de otra época, no se puede comparar con lo vacío y repugnante de hoy en día, ojalá vivieran por siempre
Tengo 56 años y la música de los 80 fue la mejor , impresionante los músicos que hay como hicieron para juntarlos a todos impresionante.
Tô com 56 anos, sou da época q existia música de vdd ,tai a prova !
@divaguevara1349 adhiero al 100% en todas tus palabras. Yo era muy chiquita, fueron tiempos de gloria y dorados!!!!. La música de hoy es lamentable, por eso sigo escuchando esta música de los 80 y 90. Saludos!! 😉

Thanks Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson for the composition.
And thanks to all the stars who song this so well.

Michael jackson’s voice had such power even though it was so soft and angelic, he stands out so much it’s crazy
1:19 💯❤️🔥
He is Michael Jackson. You can't ask for more talent
He Shines through, even with the Greatest Talents of the world 🤷♀👑
That is why he is/was called "The King of Pop."
Exitoo total
The way Lionel Richie pulls us right in with the opening is beautiful. Him and Stevie, Kenny Roger’s, and Paul Simon. Wow!
I was 15 when this came out and madly in love with Michael. And, my dad was a huge fan of Cyndi Lauper. Very nostalgic.
I'm 15 years old now, and I grew up listening to this nostalgic song. Even though it came out long before my time, it still feels like a part of my childhood.
I don’t remember much in todays’ fast paced days, but I’ll tell you what… I vividly remember in 1985 my 2nd grade teacher sitting us in a circle and singing along to this song. We would first stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to start the day, then she would sit us down and walk over to the record player and start playing this song. We all sang together in harmony. It was beautiful. God I cherish and miss those moments. We were living in some of the best times of our lives, and didn’t even know it.
BTW…. 25 years later I married her niece 😀
So it's true? Do you really recite the pledge of allegiance as children in school? That's...phew. Problematic.
Amen, to all of your words. Back then, it seemed easier. I also remember listening to this song on the record player, and we all sang together.
❤
Tremendooooo finallllll
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙆♂️
Man i loved every second of Dylan's presence in the song and in the doc..He doesnt know how and what to sing, he seems lost in the room, but in the end he delivers a classic part which is automatically recognisable as his! And fits great to the song, too. What a legend.
with the help of S. Wonder. It was kinda difficult to watch)))
That was the coolest part when Stevie Wonder has to imitate Bob Dylan to help him do his part. So great and he slayed it 😍 🙌
Bob Dylan's story was incredible. He worked so hard.
Does he have autism?
@@unespectador9994 asking the real questions 🥴🙄😉
There will NEVER, I repeat NEVER EVER be another video like this will so many greats all at once. What a moment!!!
Unidos por uma causa nobre
40 years and many of those artists have passed....... May They All Rest in Peace
Except one

@PratheekShetty-m5y who?
@@PratheekShetty-m5y Which one
Great artists
I’m literally in tears especially watching the end of the Netflix series 😢that quote by Lionel’s dad about (the house)and the ambiance omg… and understanding that most of them aren’t here anymore..thank you isn’t enough 😢🫡paved the way for new artists on how it’s done to see the dedication!!. I’m literally inspired and I’m 35 I miss that era. I may come back to comment again lol. This was amazing!
me too
Oh I burst into tears with that quote too 😢

@@lailahwcusansdbdbit’s called The Greatest Night in Pop
It's a series on Netflix explaining the work that went into making this song.
sinceramente me sigo emocionando con 53 años al ver este video llenos de grandes de la Musica..gracias a todos a los q siguen en este Mundo y a los q nos alumbran desde arriba..mi corazob los ama..saludos desde argentina
Everything was beautiful, but let's take a moment to praise the wonderful voice that Steve Perry had back in the day, he was just amazing.
Todos foram bem demais, mas Steven Perry e Cindy Lauper espetacular.
@@gui_alves_12 also MJ,, Bruce Sprinsteen ,Steve wonder
Steve Perry ha sido siempre mi voz favorita, es maravilloso 😊
Su participación es sencillamente espectacular que vulnera cualquier corazón ❤ Steve Perry
I just watched "Pop's Big Night" on Netflix.
It is absolutely impressive... that even watching it on Netflix it is impossible to believe how it was achieved "when they never rehearsed for weeks", leaving the Grammys for hours and hours in a studio.
47 Pop stars.
You won't regret it, and it's awesome.
Right! It looks like it was all one take!
leaving the AMA
Greatest pop stars of the era. Amazing
greatest night in pop*
37 years of this wonderful masterpiece today! This has to be one of the best songs ever, from the songwriting, to the melody, to the message it conveys, and we can't ignore the sheer amount of talent!
這是我國中1年級時出來的！
@@gianmo3737 LITHUANIA!!!!
Avevo 14 anni e non lo ho visto su Netflix,non ho bisogno di vederlo,me lo ricordo benissimo.
Straordinario
The way Daryl Hall sings "It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me" lets me know something awesome's about to happen.
my god is there a person who sees this icon today
@@sochorabiscoito6288 watching for the 1000 time, from Brazil 🙏
@@davifranco202 iaam
Daryl Hall is the best! 👊🏼
Totally
Michael Jackson has the most amazing voice ever!!! This man is all about magic!
He sings like an angel
@@lailaandersson447Or rather, an angel sings like him
Miss him a lot 😢
For me second behind Stevie, but... You're also right, Michael is adorable. 😍 And he was the head behind all that with Ritchie, so... Honour and glory.
You act like he's the only one that sounds like that. His soft spoken vocal runs in the family. Listen to Janet and La Toya, and you won't find much difference.
I'm glad Prince didn't show up for this. Huey Lewis's part has always hit me hard (according to the Netflix documentary Huey took Prince's part). Also.. Cyndi Lauper's part is just amazing! So raw and powerful. Plus that Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen combo! It was also very nice to see the support Bob Dylan got in order to sing his part. They did a really great job matching vocals.
El documental es una joya, muy emocionante,, saludos bro
Prince was sooo self centered, better without him
Prince had good music...but had a bigger ego. His body language showed it all the time. Yeah, glad he didn't show up.
Yup. I dont think prince can take it since his ego is too big to join the group.
@@b3nt0t lol, what ego , dont u know there a rift going on with mj and prince
Que des paroles la soufrance est toujours là...on ferme les yeux
Incredible how Michael stood out in a room full of legends. He was something else. RIP King of Pop.
Lol so many great singers but as always everyone has to praise Michael.
@@xxxmxxwm1564 cuz if he didnt write the song they wouldnt be there
Festival
@@MJFan-fv8pm song was mostly written by lionel ritchey
@@micholitzia5726 no it wasnt it was Michael who wrote most of it
I heard this song for the 1st time in 1987 from my Dad. I was 4years old, he always hummed the song! Now I'm 39 , my last born son is 6. He came home from school today singing the chorus.... It really took me back 35years ago! My Dad is 68 today enjoying his retirement! Over Easter holidays I'll make sure we celebrate together....& Sing together! This is what we call passing generation to generation!!
netflix documentary is really beautiful. at the end i cryed!! this generation singers is so powerfull. we don't have singers like them anymore
The ending really hit me and I’m 35 now. I just commented about the quote Lionel’s dad mentioned (the house) and the ambiance of Lionel saying “this person was right here she was right here “ 😢😢dang man makes you appreciate life more
Muy lindo documental que no solo nos muestra la cocina de algo hermoso sino que nos hace revivir cosas que hemos vividos. Yo me siento como Diana, no querìa que termine nunca. Como cuando estàs en un proyecto grupal grosso, le dedicàs mucho tiempo, mucha energìa y de pronto llegàs a la meta y viene el vacìo. Y sì, tambièn llorè mucho vièndolo.

Steve Perry will always give me chills
Amazing voice, we don't have this type of talents anymore, why don't men sing like this anymore 😢
it took him like 10 takes to get this.
Michael Jackson is the best.
@@AustinKoleCarlislewhat? There are like 6 takes and he nailed each one.
@@k.glowacka you sure about that? his last take was obviously the best, and of course daryl hall nailed his take once he heard steve nail his.
Que época... Que energia... Nunca mais veremos isso... Essa música simplesmente é mágica!

Not one voice sound like the other. All unique sounds. This is so beautiful.
Yes I agree!
United in diversity!!
Personally even now .. I still think Cyndi Lauper stole the show with her unique yet easily recognizable voice and adlibs
@@mcentepede me too! No matter how many times I've heard this song, her part is always my favorite!
@@mcentepede It's even better when you learn that cyndi actually couldn't stand the song as a whole but was still honored to be a part of it. Also, she actually toned down her singing so she wouldn't overshadow kim Carnes.
So many unique and beautiful voices❤
As soon as Michael comes in on the first chorus, the tears start up for me. Though he and Lionel wrote it together, the heart and soul of the song really feel like a Michael song above all else. The bridge is definitively Michael...
It is
So much more appreciation for this song after watching the Netflix documentary and seeing how tirelessly the artists worked for this song. Well done!🙏🙏🙏♥♥♥
Just watched now this the year i was born what legacy the love and unity.
the good old days... bliss

Some of the stars have left us. RIP

Lyric
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

Realmente, hoje juntariam apenas as divas pop e os galãs jovens, que juntos não tem a metade do talento do Michael Jackson.
@@kakafb23 Fizeram isso em 2011 por causa da tragédia no Haiti
I was born in generation Z but can definitely feel the spirits and unity of all famous singers. All their voices are impeccable and fabulous. They showed Africa their compassion, sympathy and humanity. Most of them have passed away nowadays but I can feel it immensely whenever I listen to it.
Did anyone know the names of all singers here?
I love you 9999
If you're gen z and you know these legends...you're amazing ❤
@@domingosneto7455 Its a bad song becose of few reasons, it stereotypes Africa as a continent who need help, where people are unhappy - its not true... they dont need that, thay want to be treat like a humans... About what is that song? Africa? What country? to what kind of people? This song is bullshit its not help its cruel
