USA For Africa - We Are The World

Added: Jun 18, 2007

Duration: 7:14

USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year. The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people. A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8, 2004.

Nov 21, 2008 - .. really?... who's your uncle? Bob dyllan? if so I feel pretty bad 4 you... He only talks, he doesn't sing... ever.... all he knows how to do is talk.... "there's a choice we're making... we're saving our own lives, it's true we make a better day, just you and me" he talks through the entire thing... T_T...

arachnidkid13 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - yeah! except bob dyllan's voice... T_T why woiuld they even consider having him in the video, or be ANY part of the song is beyond me... I guess because people are like "oh, bob dyllan is in this" and so they'll buy the record just cause bobby's in it just like people with steve perry (who is awesome!) will say "oh! it's steve perry!" and they'll buy it cus he sings in it, however steve perry is very very very very very good, but bob dyllan...*cricket*...*cricket*...
