This song's proceeds were all donated to an AIDS charity. We were losing people left and right with no hope in sight to this disease. Then this song comes out and just makes you weep and gives some kind of hope. It was pretty incredible.

Return customers are the best customers, that's why there is no cure. The catholic church was able to cure black plague 200 years ago before anyone even knew what a germ or virus was but it didn't pay as good as someone who spends $200 a month to treat symptoms of their disease.

@Rowgue51 2 года назад

The AIDS epidemic was completely overblown. They were scaring people into thinking it was going to explode and start decimating the population, but that was based on the false narrative that it was a disease that would spread easily throughout the entire population. It's a disease that still to this day only affects gay men and drug users sharing needles.

In addition to what everyone else is saying, I think you should know that this song was done as a fundraiser/public awareness campaign for HIV/AIDS (esp. in the Black community). Dionne Warwick spearheaded the effort and, perhaps most amazingly, this was in 1985 when the stigma against advocacy for people with HIV/AIDS was HUGE. Dionne, Stevie, Gladys & Elton all took a substantial risk to their careers when they did this song together; whatever else anyone says about those four incredible artists, they covered themselves in glory with this. P.S. You must, must, must react to Gladys Knight & The Pips - when it comes to vocals she's in the same lofty tier as Aretha Franklin.

Dionne is Whitney Houston’s cousin. Gladys Knight is most known for her work with her group, Gladys Knight & the Pips: Midnight Train to Georgia; Neither One Of Us; Heard It Through The Grapevine; Your the Best Thing; My Imagination; Love Overboard. Gladys also had the 1st video with break dancing in it, Save The Overtime. That’s What Friends are For was written by iconic composer, Burt Bacharach. The project was partially organized by the late great actress, Elizabeth Taylor, to raise money in the midst of the AIDS crisis. Dionne was connected with Burt from the late 1960’s, where she had many hits singing his music like, Say a Little Prayer For You, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, Alfie & What the World Needs Now. Stevie Wonder is one of the iconic artists in the history of recorded popular music, not just ‘the piano player’. He’s a multi-instrumentalist. In the 70’s & part of the ‘80’s, Stevie also played drums on most of his music. He also wrote Loving You, recorded by the late Minnie Ripperton, & I Can’t Help It, which Michael Jackson recorded on his album, Off The Wall. Wow!

@janettucker3196 Год назад

The wonderful Dionne Warwick was Burt Bacharach's number one muse. She sang so many of his songs, that it is hard to separate them--his songs and her voice go together seamlessly.

This was a work by Dionne Warwick in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis specifically targeting the stigma placed on those infected.

Seconding the recommendation to do Dionne Warwick's "Heartbreaker" which was written for her by the Bee Gees. Also worth nothing that a ton of the hit songs that the Bee Gees wrote for others, they also did recordings of themselves, so I highly recommend checking out their versions. You listened to Celine Dion a while back and she has a song written by them "Immortality" with them providing backup. As for Gladys, she's simply amazing and all of her songs are great, but I highly recommend "Midnight Train to Georgia" which is one of her biggest and I think also counts as a storytelling song. Seriously though, you can't go wrong with Gladys.

I love Dion Warwick singing this Bee Gee tune that they wrote, it's crazy because Robin was actually really upset that Barry decided that this song would be a definite hit, but he knew that choosing Dion Warwick to sing and record it...That she was perfect to sing this awesome song...Dion you sound absolutely fabulous singing this Bee Gees song, but you my beautiful lady made it your own. 💚💛🧡❤️

Whitney Houston and Dionne are also cousins, so that might be part of why she looks so familiar to people that didn't know her music.

You guys- this one makes me cry every time! So beautiful! Dionne was the muse of brilliant 60’s songwriter Burt Bacharach. He wrote tons of hits for her and Karen Carpenter. She is Whitney Houston’s aunt or cousin. Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight were there too! This song was a fundraiser for AIDS research when it was killing so many people.

You were right: That was Gladys Knight, appearing with the others for a superstar performance billed as "Dionne and Friends." Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight have some of the best voices ever, fantastic, unique voices, and Stevie is a fantastic multi-instrumentalist. This was the biggest hit of 1985 in the US and, I just found out, also a cover! It was recorded twice before in previous years as far back as 1978, including once by Rod Stewart, but this was the only one that became a hit.
