WE ARE THE WORLD. USA FOR AFRICA.1985 8'000 radio stations around the globe where playing this song at the same time. To get through the message that starvation in Africa still lives on. I created this slide show to show everbody that even 22 years later poverty still lives on. 800,000 copies arrived in stores on Tuesday, March 7th 1985. There were sold out by the first weekend. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 on March 23rd, at number 21. At the time it was the highest debuting single since John Lennon's "Imagine" and was number one in three weeks, which at the time was the fastest rising chart-topper since Elton John's "Island Girl" in 1975. It was the eighth consecutive year the Lionel Ritchie had written a number one song. It won Grammys in 1985 for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

    they make 10 child per woman, and ask me to take care of them....i've no money for unwhorty people, always in search of compassion and blaming the "white devil"
