Michael Jackson - We Are The World + Recording Session + MJ talks about the process

- "We Are the World" is a song and charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. Lionel had recorded two melodies for "We Are the World", which Jackson took, adding music and words to the song in the same day. Jackson stated, "I love working quickly. I went ahead without even Lionel knowing, I couldn't wait. I went in and came out the same night with the song completed—drums, piano, strings, and words to the chorus."
- The final night of recording was held on January 28, 1985, at A&M Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. Michael Jackson arrived at 9 pm, earlier than the other artists, to record his solo section and record a vocal chorus by himself. Many of the participants came straight from an American Music Award ceremony, which had been held that same night. In all, more than 45 of America's top musicians participated in the recording.
- Awarded by three Grammy Awards, one American Music Award and a People's Choice Award.
- November 8th and 10th 1993 (Mexico). A deposition from Michael for a copyright infringement suit brought by three songwriters against Michael, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton and Joseph Jackson claiming 'Thriller', 'The Girl Is Mine' and 'We Are The World' were stolen from them. After a seven-hour trial Michael and Co were found not guilty.

Great job :) I couldn't understand the name of the person they were talking about at 5:40. Can someone tell me? Blessings to you.

@Cheyenne605 They were talking about the guy named Reynard Jones who unreasonably accused Michael of plagiarism.
