Janet Jackson, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson & "We Are The World" the collaboration of the biggest artists of the 80's eliminated in the 2nd round? a shocker! well maybe the WATW 2010 version kinda ruined the legendary of the song.
*This was a benefit single for victims of famine in Africa. It raised over $60 Million, which was distributed to Ethiopia, Sudan, and other impoverished countries.
*The stars who sang solos were, in order, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jurreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Logins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Michael Jackson (again), Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, and Kim Carnes. Bob Dylan and Ray Charles ad-libbed some vocals that made it on. Singers in the chorus who did not get solos include Belafonte, Bette Midler, Smokey Robinson, The Pointer Sisters, LaToya Jackson, Billy Joel, Bob Geldof, Sheila E., and Waylon Jennings.
*This won Grammys for Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year.
*The single exceeded expectations in terms of sales. 800,000 copies were originally shipped, and they sold out the first weekend.
