A couple of good artists? They are legends. All of them.
Yea this was amazing 🤩 no lie
I didn’t know what to expect
True indeed!
@@dubzer0649they were all Grammy winners! Quincy Jones, director and producer put a sign
On the door that said “check your egos at the door“!
That's a stage full of legends.
Facts
This was so fun to react to
Thanks for watching
That was the decade *I* grew up in. As a white person, I knew all the white artists, AND I knew all the black artists. Racism was a non-issue. Look at every TV show and Hollywood movie from the 80's: Seamless integration on all levels. The world is so much more racist today than it ever was back then.
@@taekwondotime "Racism was a non-issue?" That's very white of you to say.
@@slappyslapstick4045 Were you alive in the 1980's? Didn't think so. As someone who lived it, I can tell you unequivocally that there was far LESS racism in America in 1980-1990 than there is today. So much less that it was a non-issue. Nobody ever talked about race. It was a non-starter.
That isn't to say that some people weren't racist. That will always be the case (on both sides). I'm talking about the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of people.
You couldn't even release a music video like this today. There's no comparison.
You don't know what it's like because you weren't there. You know only of TODAY. I was actually THERE. I lived it. It was a DIFFERENT time. One that you will never know.
@@slappyslapstick4045 The difference between the 1980's (my gen X generation) and this guy doing the reaction video (today's gen) is that he doesn't know ANY of the white artists. THAT's the racism that exists in the world TODAY. He doesn't listen to anything other than BLACK artists. Everyone is in their own musical "camp", exactly like it was in the 1950's where each race only listens to their "own" music. Me as a KID in the 1980's knew who Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson were. I knew them all because I LISTENED TO THEM ALL. White kids listening to black artists was NORMAL in the 1980's. Same with black kids listening to white artists. I actually CRINGED every time he said he didn't know who the person was. It shows his ignorance for all the world to see.
My 47 year old self kno EVERY person in this & remember this moment yo..the 80's was EVERYTHING 😭💯😭‼
That’s awesome, I hope in a year I know everyone
I am too!
This 60 year old has seen 9 of them live in concert....
So glad I'm old enough to remember what it was like Before The Fun Stopped. Such a great time to be alive.
Yup 80s were the best times musically
Every single person you heard has their own, deep rabbit hole waiting to be explored.
That’s awesome, where do I start?
@@dubzer0649 I’m not sure it matters! You can’t go wrong with any of these artists. old Billy Joel is a good starting place or just pick a name from the list!
Honestly Tina turner, Kenny Roger's, kenny loggins.. Cyndi Lauper... the Jacksons, Diana ross.. and so much more
Come on! Ray Charles? He's Legend among black folks and others.. Gotta recognize him at least or do your homework. Lol.
@@saiyongdawn7756 Yes Ray Charles! I was a young stewardess in 1994 and had the absolute privilege of having him on one of my flights. Such a legend. God bless his wife, she was seated next to him and was such a classy lady. Even though he was blind he was outgoing and chatty with us. It was above and beyond and remember hearing he could tell when he was around pretty ladies. He even sang to us at one point. I’m sure she could’ve been annoyed but never let it show. He even did his “You got the right one baby” Pepsi song that was popular at the time as he was deplaning. I get very emotional anytime I see his videos. 🤗❤️
Watching young people like yourself react to all these iconic artists makes my day.
I’m glad you enjoy
I def enjoyed this one
Prob my favorite reaction now
Goodness! I've got to say this: Have you ever heard of Bruce Springstein? Bob Dylan? Harry Belafonte? Maybe you should do some studying ... these are all great legends.
Real music, real signers, no auto tune you hear everyone's voice
That’s why I loved this
Real singers, too...
Lots of tremendous voices ..Steve Perry and Cyndi Lauper are fantastic !!
The girl who killed it! With the colorful hair, is Cyndi Lauper. She is AMAZING!
This song raised more than 63 million for humanitarian aid for Africa. I think I just take for granted that everyone knows this song. It was amazing at the time and still amazing today
Wow that’s amazing
This song is so amazing and will never be duplicated again
@@dubzer0649 actually, there was another version after the huge devastating earthquake in Haiti... I believe it's called USA for Haiti
@@graceito973 There's also a Spanish languae rendition of We Are The World done when that earthquake struck Haiti
@@graceito973 yeah. 2010. Not quite as legendary a line up but fine and heart was in right place. And reused footage of Michael for the first course (in tribute since it hadn't been long since he died) and had the Diana Ross part sung by Janet which was rather sweet.
Everyone singing a solo is a legend. Here there are in order of appearance:
Lionel Richie - 0:26
Stevie Wonder - 0:39
Paul Simon - 0:43
Kenny Rogers - 0:53
James Ingram - 0:59
Tina Turner - 1:06
Billy Joel - 1:13
Michael Jackson - 1:19
Diana Ross - 1:32
Dionne Warwick - 1:48
Willie Nelson - 2:02
Al Jarreau - 2:09
Bruce Springsteen - 2:15
Kenny Loggins - 2:21
Steve Perry - 2:28
Daryl Hall - 2:36
Huey Lewis - 2:48
Cyndi Lauper - 2:54
Kim Carnes - 3:02
Bob Dylan - 3:48
Ray Charles - 4:27
Many of them who didn't solo who are legends in their own right.
This was after the Grammys, Quincy Jones the conductor put a sign on the door that said Leave your Egos at the door and they did.
Wow that’s awesome 👏
Such a legendary performance
it was after the American Music Awards, but yes. :)
And they did! The who's who of the 80's!!
That’s why Prince didn’t sing! Quincy didn’t want egocentric performers.
@@imhere4thecheese539 Prince didn't sing but he gave Quincy Jones a song for the project.
Bruce Springstein is the one with the powerful raspy voice
Man amazing voice def
@@dubzer0649 Hey Dub please react to either Dancing in the Dark or Born To Run by Springsteen. Think you would really enjoy the songs I mentioned. Continued good luck on your channel👍🏽
‘The Boss’
@@dubzer0649 you should react to some of these legends top hits
Cindy Lauper gives him a run for his money in raspy voice
These were 80's legends
Yes 🙌 such an amazing song 🎧 really enjoyed this one.
Not just 80's some of them go way back to the 1950's. 60's and 70's and some are still singing now ...
Most expensive choir in the world.
When that song came out in 85 we were all united.. we didn't have all this mess going on. All of us kids were raised the same back then. Ask any 80s kids what time you knew to go home. You'll get the same exact answer in all races. When the street lights came on.
That is very true Dana. I graduated High School in 1982. We knew as kids to all go home when the street lights came on. We had friends of different Races and you said Sir and Maam. You knew any Parent could correct any kid with the simple statement of do I need to tell your Dad or Mom.
Yep, street lights go on & I hear my dad’s whistle! 😁
Times have def changed Forsure
I wish things could go back that way real talk
@@dubzer0649 so do 99% of everyone who lived thru the great 1980s
Diana Ross's voice is so heavenly! My all time favorite female vocalist. Few can touch her. Wow!!!
Love your reaction to Bruce Springsteen and Cyndi Lauper. You should look all these people up and do reactions to them. They truly are legends. All these guys made amazing music.
So glad you enjoyed, thanks for watchkng this one ☝️
Still gives me goosebumps and tears . Michael's jackson stunning voice
Growing up and being in the Air Force when this came out, life was so different than today. Being divided as we have makes me miss those days!
Yea today is def way different, times have def changed no lie
Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.
Legends just straight legends
Thanks for watching and for the information
@@dubzer0649 Michael and Lionel wrote the song in his bedroom at the Jackson Mansion in California. Michael's sister La Toya stated that Michael actually wrote most of the song tho with a few alterations to the lyrics later, but he never felt the need to mention that. Michael bypassed the American music awards that evening to record a final version of the chorus for the other artists.
Lionel was living in Kenny Rogers guest house when they were writing this. Kenny was one of the first called@@thegreytone
I am 72 years old and I saw this when it premiered in 1985. There hasn't been anything like it since. So many great artists "checking their egos at the door" and bringing the world a vision we still need today. I love your reaction. Check out some of the work of the artists you didn't know. The strong raspy voice is Bruce Springsteen.
You better look up all their names because just about everyone you see singing is a legend !
I will learn them on my music journey
That moment when Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen shows up and unleashes his voice and you say you don't know who that is...
I realized how old I really am! And I'm not even that old!
He had an amazing voice def
Got some of his music coming out
Many of the other singers said they started laughing when Springsteen did that. It took them by surprise and felt it was over the top for the song. Sorry, but I agree. It was a finesse type of song and he tried to "toughen" it up.
Lol, im 46 and I've loved Bruce since I was a kid
I had heard (don't know if it's true) that he had come from a 4 hour concert that day and that's why his voice was so rough.
They asked him to be there and should've known they were getting a rock singer. He was beyond perfect and added some grit.
It’s scary how many young people don’t know the all time greats of modern music.
Yea music was different back then
It's up to us to expose our kids to these things. My son was listening to Elvis at 2 yrs old. He just missed 3 singers on here and he's 13.
The trouble and hope they went through to get Bob Dylan! And for him to say yes!! He didn’t even show up to get the Nobel Prize.
@@megangustafson629 same!!!
That all star backup chorus (the people WITHOUT solos) includes (among others) 2 Pointer Sisters that I can see, about 4 other Jacksons, Bette Midler, Harry Belafonte, Smokey Robinson, John Oates, Dan Ackroyd, Sheila E - - sh-t; the chorus alone is legendary. P.S. Am I the only person who gives Lionel Richie a thumbs up back??
This was amazing and I truly enjoyed this one no I like Lionel Richie too
And The News, the band for Huey Lewis. 🌁
I didn't see smokey gonna look again
Me too, lol
These are the singers I grew up listening to. I loved the 70s and 80s. It was the era of people coming together. We need that more than ever now.
What a different time it was back then def
Me too. We had it good back then. Music at its best
This song makes me cry every time! Just to see the greatest artists come together for a cause (no money)!
Yes this was legendary
You have Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Steve Perry, Cindy Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, and more, and you feel they are squeezin' their souls on every word and every verse...
They are all legends. Couldn’t be done today. Not nearly enough talent!
This was amazing
One of the most beautiful meetings of hearts, souls, minds and purpose in American history
Ok will do 👌
They let us sit out middle school PE so we could hear the premier on the radio. Had no idea what an historical event we were witnessing ❤️
Oh wow that’s super cool
This is one of those things that you would never think could happen until you see it. Or hear it.
Facts
Thanks for watching
@@dubzer0649 Yo, thank you for creating content we appreciate :)
This song should be brought to the forefront again, to remind people that we are all the same no matter where We are from or what walk of life We come from.
I agree 💯
This will never be topped. Never ever. The stars of music all together.
The chick with the blond and red hair is Cyndi Lauper. One of the most amazing female artists of all times. She is a phenomenal singer.
Ah ok thanks for the information
@@dubzer0649 you should check out either 'who let in the rain' or 'change of heart' both by Cyndi Lauper.
She is so underrated !!! One of the most beautiful female voice of all the times !!!
I never get tired of this and I've been watching it since it premiered! I love them all but Stevie Wonder is just EVERYTHING. I've always loved James Ingram as well, always felt he was underrated.
I was around 14 when this magic happened. This song was played all over the World. I remember the day of 28th of March of the 1996, like over 6.000 radio stations all over the planet, played the song simultaneously at 10:15am. I remember in schools (Italy) when they told us that the song would have been played all over the planet and it is been so... It has been the biggest moment of unification that I ever lived in my life. Something that is just utopia, a dream, at the day of today... I'm so glad that I'm coming from that era. Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie materialized a masterpiece that night in L.A. This song has been made for charity. All those superstars went for free to spend the night in a studio to record the song. Some of them arrived there straight from the Americans awards etc .. They all left just when the job was done in the morning. No financial compensation for that long amazing job that they did. A support to Africa, that's it. There is a fantastic documentary (presented by Jane Fonda) that shows that magical night. Whoever is attracted by this song and wants to know more, I suggest to watch that documentary.
Dude, I been getting chills over this song for years!! A lot of people have!
This song was amazing
Legendary def
The one comment you made about seeing them all together on stage. It’s was togetherness. There was no ego’s or racial tension. The 80’s were an amazing time. We were proud to be Americans.
That’s exactly what we need today
A real "who's who" in the music industry at the time and still today. You have a lot of great artists yet to tap into. Don't worry, we'll help you.😉🙂
The singer next to Stevie Wonder you were so impressed with is Bruce Springsteen.
"Born in The USA"
"Glory Days"
"Dancing in the Dark"
"I'm on Fire"
"Born to Run"
Plus many more!
Def got to react or Bruce thanks for letting me know who he was
This was so fun to do
@@dubzer0649 my pleasure! It is a great compilation song with an awesome message. It's like a big sample platter of artists or all you can eat buffet lol! 😆
Yes, and he's also know at "The Boss"
Everyone singing in this was a musical superstar!!! There’s a list somewhere.
No unknowns!!
Yes this was legendary
All legends should react to all of them
Facts
Bro when this first aired they played it on ALL OVER THE WORLD at the same time!! It was THAT big... Love your reaction bcuz that's the same way MY generation felt when we seen the finished product and the DOPE part of this is that EVERY artist u see in the video brought their OWN voice/talent to it.. Still such a memorable time!
Wow St the same time, that’s amazing 🤩
Times were different back then
@@dubzer0649 yes!
@@dubzer0649 they were
Every one is a star They all have earned the right to be part of this they are stars in their right
When you said, he got a voice... that is the "voice" Steve Perry of Journey.
So few of these artists you know, which means you've got a banquet of great music ahead of you. Wonderful reaction, Dub!
Thanks for watching this one ☝️ appreciate you
@@dubzer0649 Ditto, you!
You should rewatch this a year from now. By then you will know most of the singers.
I’m soo taking you up on that offer ima screenshot this comment
Thanks my friend
Seeing Cyndi Laueper sing was cute to me. I love Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Her cheeks always adorable.
I grow up with many of these artist and love their voices and that they made this song. I have to believe that there will be a time when all walks of life will walk together and respect each other. God Bless you.
Love the duet between Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder🤯🖤🖤🙏
AMAZING voices
That was super legit
Those voices together were just amazing
Feeling old. I know all of them. Forgot one guys name but know his music. SCAREY
Your not alone.... I knew them all too😉😆
Was the man you were not knowing the name James Ingram?
@@lauriesandt5371 knew him.
Man that’s awesome that you know all these artist I wish I did
You guys rock
@@dubzer0649 that's okay, looks like someone wrote a list of all the artists who sang on that song so we can chip away at the list and have you react to a good amount of them.😉
All these people paved the way for so many other artists, black and white. I was 17 when this song was released and it was amazing then and it still is today. All these people were my childhood heroes, especially MJ and Diana Ross. I hardly hear voices like this anymore, but I know they are out there. Just the focus is on different kind of music. I like to see if younger people still know these artists and most of them can only name Michael and Stevie. :) Glad you enjoyed it so much! LJ
I’m 72 and had forgotten how great this song and performance were. It was really a different time and place. I miss it.
Yes! I heard this song when it first came out. The world needs to listen to this song and hear it.
Yes the wold is in a weird place
We all need to come together like this 👌
The world needs to LIVE this song!
@@EvoDevo2004 Amen to that.❤️
Michael Jackson 2nd solo tuned up the song Huey Lewis Cyndi Lauper did great. The Boss and the musical genius did well James Ingram and Ray Charles were excellent. RIP Kenny Rogers AL Jarreau Michael Jackson James Ingram and Ray Charles. I love this song as a child and understand it meaning more as an adult. Also RIP to June Pointer another damn good singer
Absolutely ALL LEGENDS in this! You'll NEVER see this AGAIN!
"Go on girl!!!"
CYNDI LAUPER!!!!.. LMA0
Ur so Awesome and Beautiful bro!!... And the White guy who's voice hits Everybody like a Freight Train singing with Stevie Wonder is the Boss Man himself.. Bruce Springsteen....

Hey you rock 🪨
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this
I plan to revisit this in a few months to see how many I know so this helps
@@dubzer0649 Not a problem. Glad I discovered your channel man!
RIP to all the icons since passed. The 80's were the best.
RIP 🪦
all of America came together for this cause. it was absolutely incredible!!❤
My goodness you must be young! LOL! Loved your reaction to this classic song! So many pioneers in music represented here. Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Cindy Lauper...the list goes on! Would love to be sitting with you there telling you who everyone is. :) Enjoy! Thanks for playing!
Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run (video) is great. Also Steve Perry, lead singer of Journey...u commented on his voice!! 👍😁💜
Def have to check them both out
This was too fun
When Steve Perry sang you said... ooo that voice... all I could say was... yep! (His nickname is "The Voice"... given to him by Jon Bonjovi) and this was a great reaction. I'm glad you felt it.
Steve Perry Is the Best!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I got to live this as a teenager. I will always be for all. Beautiful song. Beautiful meaning.
Yes really enjoyed this one
Great song and so many legends
I remember getting permission from my mom to donate to this when it was televised. Simpler days, but we were all there for a worthy cause.
Thanks for this video brings back memories. This was the musical dream team of mostly 80's, 70's and some 60's and 50's musicians and there were plenty more from that era that did not perform but that's because these were selected from mostly pop, R&B, and a few rock and country singers. This was a very rich diverse talent assembly than has ever been done and has not been done since and for a great cause.
This is one of my favorite videos to watch people react to. This was an incredible collection of the best of the best, leaving their egos at the door and coming together for a common cause. No race, no politics, no gender. Just talent caring about the world. I miss the 80s. It was the generation before the "me" generation took over. The closest thing to equality we were able to manage.
Hey so glad you enjoyed
Prob gonna go back in a few months and see how knowledgeable I am on the artist
I'm touched by the realness in your reaction. Strong emotions. Real. I was a teenager when this song came out and you couldn't go 30 minutes without hearing this on some radio station! It still gives me chills and even some hope that it's not too late to unify us as ONE HUMAN RACE that all value each other. Peace and love from me (a no one) to everyone.
I appreciate your comment. Means a lot
Wish the world were diff now
Thanks for watching
THEY ARE ALL LEGENDS
They all put thier hearts into this.
Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Rogers, Diane Warwick, Cindi Looper, Hall and Oats, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Harry Bellefonte, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Steve Perry, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Kenny Loggins, MJ, Janet, and Tito Jackson lead by Quincy Adams (composer) that's all I can remember from the top of my head. 80-90s was a great time to be alive. This was for the famine in Africa. Live Aid was another great movement for the aids epidemic with artists around the world.
Thanks for the information, it amazing you guys know all these artist
Sorry, just a couple of corrections. Quincy Jones (composer) not Quincy Adams, Cyndi Lauper not Cindi Looper. Peace and Love to You.
This was the mindset of the time. How did we get where we are now? How did we lose our way?
Times were different back then def
Loved ur reactions to Bruce and Cyndi. True legends
Each of these performers is a legend in their own right. From Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen, from Dina Ross to Tina Turner. From Billy Joel to Jackson and his brothers and 'sister'. From Ray Charles to Kenny Rogers and Willy Nelson. Just to mention a few.They were ALL there. None of them were paid a cent for this.
best song ever made i grew up listening to them all an can name them god bless
This song was awesome really enjoyed
I am going to revisit in like a year and see how many people I know
Thanks for watching
All super artists! Great Song! Feel old as i know all of them 🥴🤣🤣
This was legendary
Besides the fact that the greatest musical artists actually had talent...every one of these legends came to this set immediately after awards show (think about it...AWARDS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!)
Honestly, I love new and great music and artistry and support it 110%...but this video is on a whole mother level!!!!!!!
Truly a legendary performance by some of the best musical artists of the 80's and earlier. I challenge anyone to listen to this and not get goosebumps or shed a tear at the beauty of the music, the voices, and the verses. The message holds true today. "We are the world, we are the children. . . " We ARE the change we wish to see in the world, even if it's a simple gesture of kindness. I hope that future generations will continue to listen to this and heed the call to help one another. If you have not heard the original Band Aid, Do They Know It's Christmas Time, 1984, give it a listen. An incredible lineup of British, Irish, and Scottish musicians. Bob Geldof who organized the original Band Aid makes an appearance in this video as well as a backup singer, though is generally uncredited as are so many others who comprised the chorus.
The idea was conceived and executed pretty quickly when all these people were in town for a music awards show. They put up a sign outside the studio to the effect of "Leave your ego at the door." Prince was invited to do a solo line, but he refused. He did, however, contribute a song to the disc.
The whole ROOM is full of legends from the 60's on through the 80's. The "WHO IS THAT??" guy is Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen. He alone has a ton of hits, and has a VERY distinctive voice. Diana Ross was with a little Motown band you might have heard of called "The Supremes". Dionne Warwick's cousin was Whitney Houston.
Most of the backing (chorus) people you may have heard of too - Bette Midler ("Wind Beneath My Wings"), Harry Belafonte ("Day-O", "Jump in the Line"), actor Dan Aykroyd (of "Ghostbusters" and "Driving Miss Daisy" fame), most of MJ's brothers and sisters, Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, John Oates (part of Hall & Oates - Daryl Hall was one of the soloists), and Sheila E (hit it big in the 80's in her own right.)
Also, the conductor was the producer Quincy Jones, who also produced this song, as well as MJ's "Off the Wall", "Thriller" and "Bad" albums.
I'd second checking out "Do They Know it's Christmas?", which came out before this song, and was created by huge 80's stars in the UK (Duran Duran, Culture Club, Phil Collins, Spandau Ballet, Paul Young and many others.)
Thanks for the information on this I love reading the long comments and learning about this song and these artist
You rock
I’ll def chekc that out thanks for the recommendation my friend and stay blessed
In addition to the 'check your egos' sign, they were also greeted by Stevie Wonder, who advised them that if the recording wasn't completed in one take, he and Ray Charles would drive everybody home.
Great reaction!!! The person who requested you react to this wins understatement of the year awards for their comment you said before you watched. "There's a couple good artists in this." These were ALL of the top artists back then. So many different genres. Legends from then and many decades before as well. And movie stars in there also. Dan Akroyd fresh from Ghostbusters that same year to name one. This was epic on so many levels it's chilling looking back now. Especially watching you react to it for the first time. Legendary producer Quincy Jones put up a sign there that said "Check your egos at the door." and everyone did. Imagine trying that now....It would be epic if we could make the USA do that for one day nowadays.
Liked/Subbed btw.
Thanks for being here
I really appreciate your comment
Also it made me laugh when you said they deserve an award lol 😂
But great performance just legendary. I didn’t realize there would be this many greats in this
@@dubzer0649 This song will always be relevant too. That's what makes it so much greater. Timeless. Even though it was about something specific back then, the words hold true today. Especially after the past year and change. I remember when it came out...how powerful it was then. It somehow seems even more powerful today. Mainly because it would be unlikely that we could get legends to do this nowadays.
Some background on Springsteen's appearance. He played a show in Syracuse, NY the night before, jumped on a plane and landed in LA. He drove himself to the recording session and entered the building excited that he got a parking space up front, mentioning it to other performers. Talk about humble...
35 years ago 30 legends went into the studio at 3AM and recorded this song. All proceeds Went to charities in Africa. I'm sure you recognized some of them. It soared to #1 onthe charts. It would be great if famous singers from all genres would come together
Today and do something like this to help those in need
I was born in 1986, my dad loves music. I’m thankful to know who these legends are. Can you imagine if Harry Belefonte did a solo!?
These sir, are SINGERS!
Facts
Yeah that's right DZ this song really deep feeling😁
Yea Forsure, def got me
Was a magical feeling
It's amazing to see the all the different genres- pop, folk, country, soul, rock, jazz...but also the musical generations spanning from the '50s through the "new" artists (as of 1984) :
-the 'elder statesmen': Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Harry Belafonte.....
-Dionne Warwick, Bob Dylan, Dianna Ross...
-Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder...
-Al Jarreau, Billy Joel, Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen...
-Hall & Oates, Steve Perry, James Ingram...
-the "new kids": Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes, Cyndi Lauper...and (adult) Michael Jackson
This was legendary
This was so amazing. Didn't matter what your color these people came together to help a Nation in need.
The 3rd singer is Paul Simon of "Simon and Garfunkel" fame. His, "Graceland: The African Concert", is the best album of his remarkable career.
This was a legendary performance
Can’t wait to start checking out some of these artist
During this time we were together. The news and politicians and schools teach hatred now days. We weren't brought up that way when I was a child. We were together and filled with love for everyone.
United we stand
Divided we fall
I tell my son this same thing. The 80s were everything
I watched this when I was 10 years....the greatest artists together. Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote this song. Love when Michael/Diana ross sing...but my favourite is Springsteen/Stevie wonder part...and Ray Charles.....gave so much soul & funk.
Great song of all time thanks for that ❤️
This is what real talent looks like and this is what happens when people with talent and power get-together to be productive
Facts
Glad you dug this & appreciated the coolness of all the different genres and styles. I never get tired of this video. We could never get 40+ singers that talented to make a record today. You'll enjoy it even more when you're familiar with more of the artists!
This was so fun to react to loved it
Every person that sang was a super start in the 80s. I remember when it came out.. I LOVED this song... a bunch of super stars getting together to help children and not taking any profit for themselves. It brought us all together.
You're right.... great music can bring people together.
It really can
We need more of it today
They are all legendary icons. Allstars!
Facts
If this doesn’t prove that Quincy Jones is genius, I’m not sure what would.
To bring this many amazing artists together - artists from so many different backgrounds, upbringings, genres of music to unify as one soul.
This was an amazing gathering of legends really enjoyed it
Quincy told everyone to leave their egos at the door and everybody did! I absolutely loved your reaction!
I loved watching you smile all the way through this video! ❤ We need this kind of unity RIGHT NOW!
I’m glad you enjoyed that last for watching
I love watching your reactions so much. This is an amazing video and some of the best singers ever
I appreciate you, I’m glad you liked it
Thanks for the kind comment
Legends in one studio. They all left their egos at the door to unite with one voice for a good cause. Especially these times. Everyone of them has a unique voice. There were other artists that either turned it down or just couldn’t make the recording. I’m glad the younger gen is exploring music from the past. You have a lot of exploring to do. Enjoy your exploration.
Def will enjoy
Can’t wait to react to all these artist
