Remember the 80's video We Are The World? Can you name all the stars that are in it with out looking it up?

Brad Russ · 02-07-2006, 03:45 AM

I doubt I can name them all, but I'll take a stab at it. Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Steve Perry, Latoya Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Lionel Ritchie, John Hall, Darryl Oates, Dionne Warwick, Michael Jackson, Dan Ackroyd LOL!!, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson, Steve Winwood, Sean Lennon.

That's all I can think of.

Anyone want to hear the Taiwan version of We Are The World?? Here's the link:

I always liked Steve Perry's little bit on that song, he did "there's a choice we're making, we're saving our own li-i-ives" and I also liked the Stevie Wonder/Springsteen trade-off near the end

I actually didn't forget her. I thought she was the first one I mentioned. She was my favorite 80's singer as a kid, so I'm baffled that I didn't mention her. If Sean Lennon wasn't in it, who was that dude that looked just like him??

I actually really liked the Bob Dylan part. Don't ask me why, Iv'e just always loved him. I just saw the video awhile back on VH1 classic, and when I saw Dan Ackroyd, I started laughing my ass off.

He stuck out like a sore thumb. I agree with Vashti about the Stevie Wonder/Bruce Springsteen part of the song. That, along with Steve Perry, and Cyndi Lauper, were my favorite parts!!

Steve Perry had an excellent part. I liked how it went from him to Darryl Hall. I also liked Al Jarreau's little part. He set Bruce Springsteen's part up, if you ask me. My favorite part is the Stevie Wonder/Bruce Springsteen trade-off too. When I was a kid, my brother and I mocked that part. LOL

savageamusement · 03-05-2006, 03:08 PM

I haven't thought about this song in so many years.

now i gotta drag out my tapes....i think i have the superbowl shuffle too.

Janice Johnson · 03-05-2006, 05:57 PM

I heard that Prince was going to sing in We Are The World until he heard that Michael Jackson would also be singing in WATW, then he abrubtly made the decision to NOT sing in WATW.

He'd probably keel over if he heard that Mikey Co-Wrote the song too!

But ironically, Prince IS in another song that USA For Africa sang.............

James · 03-12-2006, 01:37 AM

Little Mel, I believe Tina Turner also sang with USA For Africa in "We Are The World."
