35 Years Later and Still Relevant - "We Are the World"

KingstonsMom · ‎03-09-2010

On the 35th anniversary of this video for the charity USA for Africa, featuring so many musical greats, more than you can imagine, some no longer with us.

In our current world with COVID, it remains relevant today.....

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, after all, we are the world.

Here is the original version (without the added footage in the anniversary version), which has a list of the performers involved at the end.

Always really liked that song and the music itself. The purpose of the song and it's value should never be underestimated. It certainly fits the present time. Maybe it should be made more prominent once again, even though not for it's original purpose.

Hi John! That's how I felt... the challenge may be different, but the message is the same.

Virtual {{{hugs}}} to you, Cindy and the furkids!

Stay Safe!

I watch the video a lot. The video will always have a strong meaning. I also like how so many musicians from different music back grounds did all this.
