Midge was so cute that time they're recording the song and i love his accents don't get tired watching and listening to him... brings back to my memory the Irish people whom i met in late '90s while working in HongKong ...lovely people...🤗😚
Great effort by these guys to pull it all together. But I still can't forgive them for not having Thin Lizzy on the bill. It could have possibly saved Phil Lynott's life and resurrected one of the greatest rock bands in history who, like Queen, would have blown Wembley away.
I know this is opinionated but if really feels like there was a sense of snobbery amongst the artists. I wouldn't have wanted to be in that room. Good on Bono for going in there.
❔🤔 How many went on to have Christmas hit singles of their own.....besides Wham❔I wish more of them had Christmas albums 😢❗If you add in the talents from Farm Aid and We Are the World, the list of Christmas singles overflow❗80s music and its artists and writers made historic accomplishments 😢
