SUPER STARS RECORD SINGLE FOR CHARITY

Jackie Jackson, Randy Jackson, Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggins, Sheila E, Harry Belafonte ...


The special instruction Quincy Jones sent out to the several dozen
pop stars invited to participate in the recording of “
We Are the
World
was this: “Check your egos at the door.” Jones was the
producer of a record that would eventually go on to sell more than
7 million copies and raise more than $60 million for African famine
relief. But before “We Are the World” could achieve those feats, it
had to be captured on tape—no simple feat considering the number
of major recording artists slated to participate.

With only one chance to get the recording the way he and writers
Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wanted it, Jones convened the marathon recording session of “We Are the World” at around 10
p.m. on the evening of January 28, 1985, immediately following
the conclusion of the American Music Awards ceremony held
just a few miles away.

Singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte was the initiator of the events
that led to the recording of “We Are the World.”

SOUL LEGEND DIED ON THIS DAY IN 1967

Singer Otis Redding, Killed in plane crash | Otis redding, Otis ...

On its final approach to Madison, Wisconsin on December 10,
1967, the private plane carrying soul-music legend Otis Redding 
(26)crashed into the frigid waters of a small lake three miles short         
of the runway, killing seven of the eight men aboard, including
Redding. “Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay”, which he had been
recording, would be released in its “unfinished” form several
weeks later, with Redding’s whistled verse a seemingly
indispensable part of the now-classic record and would soon
become history’s first posthumous #1 hit and the biggest pop
hit of Redding’s career.
