Steve Perry my goodness 👍🏼

This was recorded immediately after the 12th annual American Music Awards in a studio near where the awards show was and Q Jones told everyone to check attitudes at the door. 2 musicians that were invited but couldn't drop the attitude was Prince and Waylon Jennings so they didn't let them in. That's why the next year the thing with Prince on stage was kind of a dig at Prince. Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and a few others flew in for the recording because it was for charity.

If Cyndi doesn't give you goosebumps, you're dead... ❤️

Rip to all the singers who were on this great classic song & no longer with us,we still miss you guys

They played this song on every radio station in 1985 when I was a kid.

There are so many legends just in the chorus. Nice reaction. Enjoyed it.

Every artist here is squeezing his soul in every verse and word, you can feel deep in your heart

our country needs to get back to this, everybody was mangling together, singing with one another, WOW !!! so beautiful, our country has so much hate today its sad. If we all would come back to God none of this hate would be in the world today.

You should watch the making of this song all of the singers trying to get their verses right.

If you rewatch this video, pay attention to Steve Perry and his solo!!!! So absolutely amazing! I wish he would have gotten more of a part, his voice is so special!!!! -Colleen

So many iconic singers

This whole creation was put together by iconic activist and entertainer Harry Belafonte who is the Black dude with the sweater singing in the back. He thought of an American version of what British Band Aid production did the year before with “Do They Know It’s Christmas” and Harry wanted it to be for African relief, and then Lionel and Michael co wrote the song and Quincy produced it. The only weird thing is that icon Smokey Robinson did not have a solo but he was right upfront with the rest of the Motown family Diana, Stevie, and Michael.

If I can remember. Mike started to wear a glove to hide that his skin color was changing.

Yeah you seen musical greats from MJ to The Pointer Sisters (RIP June Pointer) Dionne,Tina ,Paul Simon,Bob Dylan,the list goes on pure magic for a great cause at the time .....

If I’m not mistaken, there was a sign on the studio door that said “Leave your ego at the door” They did just that!!

The year for this one was 1985 I believe.

I don't know if y'all have seen but check out the making of/behind the scenes of this...MJ looking at Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis and Kim Carnes sing their part is hilarious.

So many legends in one place

Thank you for your this fantastic reaction to this collaboration! A masterpiece 😊

It's Steve Perry for me. The best male rock vocalist ever!

Real artists (legends). Voice, talent. Why don't we listen to such songs from today's artists. Today's artists can only sing to autotune.

The year was 1985. You should react to Queen at Live Aid, which was a concert televised world wide to raise money for this same cause. There were too many acts to list, but Queen stole the show and the 2nd best performance was by U2.

EVERY SINGLE ONE UP CLOSE IS A LEGEND

Love makes us smile and be happy..this song is the prove

I love this song and just looking back at all the famous faces when I was a kid watching this I didn't recognize half of them even though I had heard them many times I couldn't put their faces together when I became an adult and I watched it over and over I started picking them out and saying oh my gosh that's who that was in the song LOL it's so great I also like how Michael kind of did a similar song I really can't think of the name right now but it was in the late 90s and he got all the famous singers together for another charity song he had Beyonce Inc backstreet boys Shakira a whole bunch of them some country singers and of course Michael I wish I could remember the name right now maybe you guys can look for it and do a reaction to that as well

I love the song it shows our unity and proves we had diversity and inclusion before the ish. The song and performance embodies the true American spirit.U.S.A,U.S.A,U.S.A!!!!!WHERE YOU AT AMERICA!!? DON'T BELIEVE THE ISH THEY SAYING TO TRY AND TEAR US APART AND TO TEAR AMERICA APART!!!

Would you do a reaction to some Kenny Rogers, songs? "Lady", "The Greatest", "Buy Me A Rose", "The Last Ten Years". Thank you for all the reactions you do. Loving them all.

the odd man out that seamed not to fit in with the others, singing in the chorus back row with eyeglass on was none other than Dan Aykroyd of SNL, Ghostbusters and yes he can sing. The Blues Brothers.

This was done in 1985. It still gets me they raised millions in aid to Africa. The government kept most of the money and let the food items and farm equipment rot on the ships in the harbor. This from a doctor with DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS. He wrote about it in Readers Digest. Look it up. Loved your reaction tho. Please react to THE CHAMPION by Carrie Underwood and Ludicris. It will touch your musical soul

Nice reaction guys

1985 I think. The women with the big eyeglasses were the pointer sisters. A musical group with a few hits.

You should check out Band Aid "Do they know its Christmas" The UK fund raiser from 1984. See how many stars you know.

😘😘😘😘😘From the Dominican Republic.B.S? THE BEST!!!!!I love him too.

I think the sign said leave your egos at the door.

Hermoso himno de amor compuesto por Michael jackson y lionel hichie.

Hello. My name is Kaleem. That singer wearing the glasses. Is Sheila E.?

Great video thanks you two

That wasnt Whitney Houston it was Shelia E from Prince

Can you please do Bruce Springsteen and his Born To Run video. He’s the guy with the growl and Stevie Wonder duet. It’s a fun blow your socks off performance!!

Off course, quincy jones was straight forward otherwise greatness could not had achieve in this song n that why they nailed it.

Cousins, y'all must see Prince react to this song. It was a major award show in the 80s and every major artist was on stage singing this song and Prince just had a lollipop in his mouth because Prince and Michael Jackson were rivals. Prince and Michael were the two biggest commercially successful artists on the planet during the 80s. This performance was so funny that when Quincy Jones forced Prince to sing, Prince took the lollipop out of his mouth and tried to give it to Quincy Jones 😂😂😂😂

Those 3 ladies, including the one with the glasses, are the Pointer Sisters.

This was made after Bob Geldof asked Quincy Jones to lead the American effort on African aid. Many of the credits are in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_World. Written by Michael Jackson + Lionel Richie. Underrated. After the call-and-answer from Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder, notice the ascending vocal belt from the late James Ingram. Singers like Morissette Amon use this technique. RIP to a number of the fallen. The only non-American singing is Dan Akroyd. He is a Canadian 🍁 from Toronto, ONT. Producer/writer/pianist David Foster, of Victoria, BC, wanted him to sing for the Canadian effort for African relief but American actress Donna Dixon, and wife of DA, and Quincy Jones convinced him otherwise. Some gentle jabbing that two producer/writer QJ did! They still remain friends! LOL Suggested next video: Tears Are Not Enough performed by Northern Lights. This is the Canadian supergroup conducted by David Foster. Bryan Adams, Anne Murray, Geddy Lee + Neil Young are some of the singers. 🇨🇦 Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJN3u1wAWIk.html

1985

Why wasn’t Whitney on I wonder ?

Is he a robot? No emotion at all during this reaction. Quite boring on his part. Damn shame.
