MICHAEL JACKSON MAKING OF WE ARE THE WORLD LIVE
"We Are the World" is a 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of 45 popular musicians billed as USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa).[1] The charity single was intended to raise funds to help famine-relief efforts in Ethiopia, which had experienced unusual drought and political instability in 1984/1985.
Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote the song for the group, knowing there were people dying in Africa.[3] Quincy Jones agreed to produce and sent a demo to all the participating artists, along with a note to "check their egos at the door".

The song was performed as the finale of Michael Jackson's July 7, 2009 memorial service at Staples Centre in Los Angeles after the death of Micheal Jackson on June 25, 2009. The song featured religous symbols and portraits by photographer Steve McCurry.

  • very fascinating...i love whatever clips i can find of him rehearsing...that was the real work for him...the performances were the fruits of his labor!...its fun to watch all the energy he had..the playfulness...smiling, looking like he's doing all he can to hold back from breaking into a full on dance..the goofy movements...listening to him sing the chorus at teh end showed me why they had him sing the first round of the chorus in a softer tone...much more in his range...

  • saudades de Michael !! esse cara fez a diferença!!

  • @mjforeverfan23 ta raison

  • I come back to this a lot. I mean there is no one sexier or more multitalented than Michael Jackson. He is simply the best entertainer to ever live, in my opinion. I will love you forever MJ.
