THANK YOU SO MUCH!
LOS ANGELES — When it came time to record the 25th-anniversary remake of "We

Are the World," the legendary African-famine relief benefit's co-writer and

producer, Lionel Richie, said he wanted to approach the project from a

modern perspective. That might explain why none of the singers from the 1985

single were in the house for Monday night's marathon sessions, which took

place in the same studios where the original song was laid down.

Instead of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper and the late Michael

Jackson (whose previously recorded voice, however, will be heard on the

tune), the 2010 version will be headlined by Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne,

Wyclef Jean, Josh Groban and Will.I.Am. It features a newly penned hip-hop

break written by the Black Eyed Peas leader that makes reference to the

January 12 earthquake in Haiti, the victims of which will benefit from the

song's proceeds.

Among the rap artists making the cut for "We Are the World — 25 for Haiti"

are T-Pain, Kanye West, Bizzy Bone, Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Drake,

Mann, Nipsey Hussle, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz.

And though rumored participants such as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift,

Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake were not in attendance, the sessions did feature

a number of current stars such as Miley Cyrus, Keri Hilson and Best New

Artist Grammy winner Zac Brown.

There were the requisite classic artists who pitched in, including Barbra

Streisand; Carlos Santana; Natalie Cole; BeBe Winans; the members of Heart;

Freda Payne; Harry Connick Jr.; Earth, Wind & Fire; the Beach Boys' Brian

Wilson and Al Jardine; Tony Bennett; "Slumdog Millionaire" film score

composer A.R. Rahman; "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson; Patti Austin;

Celine Dion and Gladys Knight. A few actors were in the studio (Jeff Bridges

and Vince Vaughn), as well as the offspring of co-producers Lionel Richie

and Quincy Jones, Nicole Richie and "Parks and Recreation" star Rashida

Jones, and the members of 3T (the sons of Tito Jackson), Taj, Taryll and TJ

Jackson.
