Música We Are The World

Em Janeiro de 1985, 45 dos maiores nomes da música americana gravaram o LP We Are The World, em benefício das vítimas de fome na África. O single, LP e o clipe renderam cerca de 55 milhões de dólares. Formaram o grupo USA for Africa.

Inspirado pela reunião que ficou conhecida como Band Aid, Michael Jackson organizou a gravação do single We Are the World, que ele escreveu junto com o companheiro de gravadora Lionel Richie. O single foi lançado em 1985 para arrecadar dinheiro para a campanha USA for Africa, uma campanha de caridade para ajudar famílias na África. We Are the World apresentava 44 vocalistas diferentes, incluindo Michael e Lionel, Harry Belafonte, Cyndi Lauper, Diana Ross, Ray Charles e Stevie Wonder, e vendeu 7 milhões de cópias só nos Estados Unidos, tornando-se um dos singles mais vendidos de todos os tempos.
