We Are the World - Part Two
First, they sang for Africa. Now, they’ll be singing for Haiti.
To help celebrate the classic “We Are the World” recording, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie will be uniting artists once again to sing for a good cause. Artists in the Los Angeles area for the Jan. 31 Grammys will be asked to participate in this musical event taking place on February 1.
When the original song - co-written by Richie and Michael Jackson - was first released, proceeds generated by the single went toward the relief effort in Africa. Although a 25th anniversary-celebration had already been in the works prior to the earthquake in Haiti, the devastation in that country changed the scope of the plans.
It’s not yet known who will be involved in the new session, though artists including Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend have already been given invites.
“We Are the World” was recorded on January 28, 1985.
