Not only their egos, but their entourages, too. Managers, agents, friends, family...all those people had to stay out of the room. According to the reporter covering it, everyone in the room was in awe of everyone else and feeling shy around them. The newer artists were in the presence of the legends who had paved the way--Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Kenny Roger, Willie Nelson, Stevie and Michael (just to name a few) and several of whom were still going strong or having a resurgence in their popularity. And the older artists were in awe of these ones, all of whom were best-selling artists at this time. They were fans of each others' work, and in the end, they were here for a charitable cause. This wasn't a photo-op or a publicity stunt, and no one was throwing a hissy diva fit about whether or not they got a solo or where they were placed on the risers (though evidently Michael said to Quincy that Diana was not going to like where they had put her. Quincy figured Michael knew her better than anyone else and said ok, so they moved her piece of masking tape up to the front row before people started arriving). Before they started, Quincy brought in a group of people from Ethiopia who tearfully told the entire group how very much it meant to their people that these stars would get together to do this to try to help raise money to help the Ethiopian people. It was an emotional moment for everyone that reminded them why they were there and what they were doing this for. Do I personally think maybe someone like Smokey Robinson should have gotten a solo bit instead of maybe Al Jarreau, or instead of giving Michael TWO solo parts? Sure. Smokey was definitely a bigger star than Al and had more hits to his name, and Smokey would have sounded beautiful harmonizing with Diana. But hey...given the way things turned out, I can hardly argue the point with a man who has more musical knowledge in his pinky finger than I ever will. :) There is a reason, after all, Quincy was in such high demand and producing for damn near everybody.

They recorded this in ONE NIGHT. Quincy Jones literally had a note on the door that said leave your egos outside and they did!!! They recorded this after a music awards show since everyone was in town. They sang and recorded until dawn and it was done, a masterpiece.

That is Cyndi Lauper and she was a huge star at the time of this video. Look her up, she is extremely underrated. She can sing her ass off. Yes, that was Willie Nelson.

It was Michael Jackson superbowl 1993- when MJ opened the door for real half-time entertainment and MJ was the first to do it that amazingly. MJ is the G.O.A.T

This song is proof, that you can take amazing singers from different genres, different singing styles, different vocal abilities, different music abilities, different backgrounds, different races, different levels of success, & more than likely different points of view, yet when put together, for a cause that is dear to their hearts, there is absolutely *NO* difference whatsoever!!! 💗 **THIS SONG IS PURE MAGIC, & STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS** 💗

I remember this song as a yong kid.... Soo many legends in one room for one cause singing such a beautiful song. These were all TOP talents .... I don't think the world will ever have the honor of such an experience again. Everytime I see this it's like Dayum.....that was such pure love & talent!!!! 🖤💖🌹

Also, a successful painter! I learned English with his songs in the 1970ies, especially with his song Hurricane about boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter. I have been a fan ever since.

Watch the documentary….it’s awesome. You see how they built the song,all the way to the end. ❤️🎼

First off, I want to say...Love that you reacted to this. However...lol... The remark at the beginning.... Michael Jackson and "some other people" I just about fell out of my chair in shock hearing how so many other famous singers were described. This song was recorded/filmed while a lot of famous/legendary, singers were gathered at a music awards ceremony. Back then, people like Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, and Willie Nelson were pretty much legendary singers. Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Perry, and a few others were well on their way into that legendary status...and most of the rest were very very popular at the time and are still well liked, but I don't think most would quite qualify as 'legendary' And although he didn't get a solo chance, Harry Belafonte was there too, back in the mid-1950s and early 1960s he was pretty popular. There was a documentary...about the creation of this music video...where all the other singers, honored Harry Belafonte by singing a part of his song 'Day-O' : ) That's pretty awesome, I think, that all those there acknowledged him like that. : ) Legends or just super popular for a brief time...all of them were more than just 'some other people' And before anyone jumps on me about this post...no... I'm not angry...actually laughing a little and a little sad that so many of the younger generation, don't know anything about these artists. But I think it's Awesome...that he, and other young people are reacting to music that their parents, grand parents and even great grand parents listened to. It keeps the music alive.

The girl with colors in her hair is Cyndi Lauper. Just after that when you questioned who the guy was ( u thought toy story), was Bob Dylan

In" 94"The idea came from renowned Actor Harry Belefonte. He had saw and heard England's version and rushed back to the US to convince Quincy Jones to do it. Whom therefore talked Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson to write it! The next task was to get everyone in the same room to record it and not interfere with their individual schedules. So, Quincy decided to do it the same night of the American Music Awards so he could have everyone afterwards in the same room! It is rumored that everyone that was there ALL left their egos at the door! Well, besides Michael Jackson of course! The front row of the crowd span was pretty much all MJ's siblings! The song was recorded on January 28th, 1985. Released on March 7, 1985! The rest is history! As you can see there's no Prince (whom Michael Jackson couldn't stand) and no Whitney Houston! Her career wasn't as well established as she soon would be!

Yes that’s Willy Nelson, Cyndi Lauper and Quincy jones. And if you look carefully Dan Aykroyd’s at the top, he was a blues brother

I know I'm coming late on this, but the solo singers, in order, were: Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Darryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper (the woman with the multi-colored hair), Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan (the guy you thought was Randy Newman), and Ray Charles. In addition to the soloists, the chorus included Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belafonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Shiela E., Bob Geldof, Bill Gibson, every single one of Michael Jackson's siblings except Janet (Marlon, LaToya, Tito, Jackie, Randy), Waylon Jennings, Bette Midler, John Oates, Jeffrey Osborne, all three of the Pointer Sisters (Anita, June, and Ruth), Smokey Robinson, and "The News" of "Huey Lewis and the News" fame (Chris Hayes, Sean Hopper, Mano Cipillina, and Johnny Colla). As Dan Aykroyd put it in an interview about a week later, "There was about a trillion dollars worth of musical talent and one lone schlub who occasionally did comedies involved in it." (He, of course, was the "schlub who did comedy.")

That girl with multi colored hair is Cyndi Lauper.Her voice is so unique and powerful!

Love the way it makes you smile. The power of music. So much heart.

I still have the bandana with signatures from donating 😃

The man standing by Harry Belafonte is comic actor Dan Ackroyd. Dan was one of the early SNL cast members. And an awesome musician as well. He was half of SNL music/comedy duo the Blues Brothers with John Belushi. And in the middle of it all is 60's voice of his generation and counter-culture icon, Bob Dylan. FYI - his son Jakob Dylan fronted 90's singing sensation group The Wallflowers. Michael Jackson wrote this song and it was produced by Quincy Jones. Like others in the day, I counted down the days to watch it's debut on MTV or VH1. I don't remember which one. The pairing of Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen was genius. Their voices contrasted beautifully.

Great reaction. Liked. This song is timeless. You could literally go down a rabbit hole for everyone in this video. Icons! The message will always be relevant. Definitely A+.

He didn’t sing this song at the Super Bowl. He sang “Heal the World” 1993 Super Bowl

With everything going on in the world right now (COVID-19, another earthquake in Haiti and the siege of the Taliban) another version of this iconic humanitarian song is due, in my opinion.

In the back you see Harry Belefonte, who had the original idea to do this. He got the inspiration from British artist who did "Do They Know It's Christmas", he is standing next to comedian Dan Akroyd (Saturday Night Live, Blues Brothers). FYI there was a remake of "We Are the World" made in 2010, 25 years later - We Are The World 25 For Haiti - Official Video (you should do a reaction to this as well) - kzread.info/dash/bejne/eaCi25ajg8bPhqw.html

The woman with the different colored hair is Cyndi Lauper (“Girls Just Want To Have Fun”) and following her is Kim Carnes (“Bette Davis Eyes”). Lauper wasn’t that impressed with Quincy Jones’s song and told her manager that she didn’t really like it at first, but she would sing on it if asked, because she wanted to be a part of the movement. Her manager let it slip that she thought “We Are The World” was too similar to another song (which I can’t remember). Quincy, who was twenty years Cyndi’s senior, was furious. While rehearsing, he made her take her multitude of necklaces off, believing their rattling was distracting. Cyndi was a good sport and went along with Quincy’s suggestions, and it turned out that her part (along with Michael Jackson’s and Ray Charles’s) was one of the highlights of the song. She is only one of twenty entertainers to have a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award.

Fun fact. Michael Jackson stole(or borrowed) the one glove idea from a woman named Kim Carnes ,who happens to be the singer with Cyndi Lauper in this song.She is the lady with the long blonde hair. She did the one glove (hers was black )a full 2 years before Michael Jackson did the white glove.

Shaka; , There was a sign posted on the door that read " check/ leave your egos at the door"! What a fantastic time this was! Grew up in the late 60's & 70's! The music back than was all about love, uniting and good times!!
