For all who remember We are the World

[Nifty-Chicken]

23 years ago! I would have never guessed I was only 10 when that came out because it left such a strong memory.

Really fun watching it and seeing everyone. I knew most of the peeps. I wonder if there was any "HEY, why are you jumping in during my part!?" or "I'm a much bigger star than xxx I should have a longer part!"

BTW, there were a few of the Jackson family in there besides Michael.

I see Quincy Jones leading the group. Did he pull them all together?

BTW, am I the only one that sees Eddie Murphy when watching Stevie Wonder?

BTW II, is that Dwight Schrute at the 4.18 minute mark?

Nifty, we're about the same age! I would have been 11 when that some came out. Heck, I remember singing it in grad school choir!

Rob this version has the people's names typed in over them, I just found it. Lyrics too.

I knew them then, but now I'm fuzzy on who's who so I found this helpful.

OMG you're right about how funny it is.

I've counted 4 singers who have been arrested on pretty serious charges. LOL.

DBFD just said, "go Steve Perry". LMBO.

Hee hee... the guys' hair styles were MUCH larger than the womens'!

Lionel Richie's sweet sweet voice is going to put me to sleep. (seriously, the guy's got a nice voice)

I liked that song, I was almost out of high school when it came out

But don't feel sad for me, I can still shake my groove thang

Oh dang, now I'm gonna have ANOTHER sleepless night, with that "lovely" song running through my head. And I must be old, cuz I was out of high school when that came out.... nuf said.

I was 5 years post grad, and 3 years into my first mortgage. Ah yes, along with those goofy clothes and hairdoos on the video I was paying $345 a month for a house on one acre. I'd take the styles back if I could have that mortgage now!

What do you mean "take the styles back" nobody told me they went out of fashion?????

I was in HS when the song came out. Our local radio station played it a lot over Xmas.

Doesn't seem that long ago, does it? Has any other country done something like this for us? In our hard economic times does any other country care about us? It's so sad what greed can do.
