Hi James ✨

The man with the raspy voice is Bruse Springsteen. 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

I've been a fan of Anita Pointer for a long time. She sang in the choir, and passed away December 31, 2022. You can see her at 9:58 in the white shirt.

My artists in this were Michael Jackson & Bruce Springsteen. Thinking this song get me through a very stressful period some months ago, when I was facing an eviction hearing. Not really the topic of the song, I know; but it gave me strength & hope. (And I got a stay of eviction til the end of this month.) Every time I see & hear the pairing of Michael Jackson's & Diana Ross's voices, I remember that they'd costarred in the movie The Wiz, in which Michael played the Scarecrow & Diana played Dorothy. It's a retelling of The Wizard of Oz with an all Black cast, filmed in the 70s. Great music. Have you ever seen it?

Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. Absolute proof that fire and ice can be blended together.😮

Probably my favorite part was Bruce Springsteen's back and forth with Stevie wonder. Bruce Springsteen had so many huge hits in the 80s, most notably Born in the USA and Glory days. I also liked Michael Jackson's solar Park leading into Diana Ross followed by Huey lewis, Tina Turner and Willie Nelson. The lead singer of journey was in there. And then Cyndi lauper's part is fire.

It was a golden age, when a young person could easily afford to go see these artists in concert. I have seen 9 of them live.

Let me see if I can give some context to the singers you may now know on the list that was already given: Paul Simon - half of the 60's folk/rock group Simon and Garfunkel. "Mrs Robinson" is probably their most popular song. James Ingram - several soul/pop songs, but did a realllly popular duet called "Baby Come to Me" with Patti Austin in the 80's. Dionne Warwick - Whitney Houston's older cousin (not aunt) and 60's legend that kept a strong career, even to this day, and had a hit song the year after this with Stevie Wonder "That's What Friends Are For" Al Jarreau - Another soul/jazz singer had a major hit in 1980 with "We're In This Love Together" and stayed pretty consistent throughout the 80's. Kenny (effin') Loggins! - Sorry, it upsets me that not enough people recognize him considering every person on Earth knows his most famous song "Highway to the Danger Zone" featured in the movie Top Gun. Daryl Hall - of Hall & Oates.. an unstoppable duo with hit after hit after hit throughout the 70's and 80's. Rich Girl, Maneater, Sara Smile, Out of Touch... this list is way too massive to write Huey Lewis - another "Kenny Loggins" You know him even if you think you don't! "The Power of Love" featured in the "Back to the Future" movie. Kim Carnes - Maybe the most forgivable for not recognizing. She had a huge hit just before this with "Betty Davis Eyes" but the rest of her songs are relatively obscure when you compare them with the rest of that room. Bruce Springsteen - the raspy voice guy has always been a huge superstar basically since his first album. He's one of the rare few whose stardom just never seems to fade, until at least, his fans die off. Cindy Lauper - The bright rainbow haired girl... another superstar who seemed to just have songs everywhere during this decade "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", the Goonies movie song, and "Time After Time" (If you're lost and you look then you will find me, time after time...). Also worth noting in the chorus shown clearly was Harry Belefonte (The Banana Boat Song, and Jump in the Line, both off the Beetlejuice soundtrack as well) and right next to him, the guy in the jacket and glasses.... Dan Akroyd... yes, the SNL star and actor from Ghostbusters (among tons more), he was and is a legitimate musician as part of the Blues Brothers Band.

Did you not notice that little guy with the huge head of black hair between Kenny Loggins and Daryl Hall? Steve Perry, famous for Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, Open Arms, Don't Stop Believin', Separate Ways, and too many more to mention.

I enjoy watching these reactions to this song to see how many artists are recognized, lol. I’m going to be judgmental if you don’t know who MJ is! 😜 Someone usually comes into the comments & lists all the artists so you’ll have them to refer to & I recommend you take each one & react to some of their songs. it would be an education in itself if you did! The artist I love the most from the “choir” is the black guy in the back row, standing next to the white guy in the glasses. His name is Harry Belafonte & he was an actor & civil rights activist as well as a singer who popularized calypso music in the US during the ‘50s & ‘60s. Yellow Bird was a huge hit for him as well as Day-O & Jump the Line. He had many more, but those will get you started if you pursue this.

The record industry made everyone sound the same to fit whatever their role is to make the companies money. Even when the person can sing, the recording industry as a whole, including TV, will autotune and pitch correct the singers to match exactly whatever sound it is the executives want. The performers are just there to sell that particular image to the public, not actually make the music. You will never see another Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen Cindy Lauper, or Willie Nelson emerge as a superstar in today's era.
