For those who weren’t round on the time, it is laborious to clarify simply how enormous We Are the World was. Recorded by a supergroup of in style musicians — assembled on the fly on the night time of the 1985 American Music Awards — the charity single benefiting Ethiopian famine victims offered greater than 20 million copies and featured the likes of Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Diana Ross. (It feels unimaginable to think about so many megastars assembling in a single room for one thing like this right this moment.)
Fortunately for us, there have been cameras rolling the whole time as dozens of the world’s most well-known musicians pulled the epic all-night recording session. The lately departed Quincy Jones proves to be the night time’s true star, wrangling a studio filled with nerves, egos and just a little an excessive amount of wine to supply one thing genuinely particular.
