The fact that I recognize most of their voices before watching the video, and then recognize even more after watching the video makes me so happy for some reason

"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965. That's 55 years ago in 2020! Even though the message was sent so many years ago. We can't give up. Spread the love people!

O M G ! Rest in Peace, and Heavenly Music, Burt Bacharach. Thank you for this, and for so many other touchstones and gemstones.

I have seen this video 100+ times and it still brings chill bumps! We really do need some Love, Sweet Love right now! You all take care.

Idina and Kristen un the same recording booth warmed my heart

Coming from New Zealand, I was searching for the Dionne Warwick version of this song and stumbled on this amazing rendition. Kia kaha (stay strong) Christchurch, New Zealand, and the whole world. "No, not just for some but for everyone."

​@@FredericKahlerHi. Just received your comment. Still a great song. I commented on the video five years ago because New Zealand did have a mass shooting incident. "The Christchurch mosque shootings were two consecutive mass shootings on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand on 15 March 2019." One murderer killed 51 people and injured 40. NZ is fortunate to not have many incidents like this and we have had stronger gun laws since.

Sem palavras, simplesmente...Sem palavras. Lindo, perfeito!! Tudo !! Vozes, arranjo. Emocionada!

Ohmygosh that was beautiful. And now more than ever we need love. For everyone. We can get through this together.

All these phrasings, these styles The great sadnesses behind the smiles As the Broadway personnel walk the miles and miles To Orlando, to Pulse, to the dead and maimed That it be now and forever proclaimed In heaven, on earth, in the darkness inhale And sing with all glory that "Love must prevail" With horns and melismas, chanting and wail, "Love is love is love is love is love" and "Love must prevail" It's the only thing we lack, only item left The easiest little offer yet the easiest theft Inside we must never forget, nor flag in our ways That pride is love is love for all of us 'til the end of our days!

11 days into 2021 and I think this video needs to make the rounds again 😓

Every single one of them have a very unique voice but they sing together so beautifully.

Wonderful thanks for doing this and also thanks for Shricgane for publishing the singer list
