{"title":"USA For Africa Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eUSA For Africa, or United Support of Artists for Africa, was founded in 1985 by music producer Ken Kragen. It was created in response to the severe famine and poverty that plagued Ethiopia in the early 1980s. The organization raised funds and awareness for famine relief in Africa through a variety of fundraising efforts, including their 1985 single, “We Are the World.” This single, which was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, was sung by a host of top musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, and Ray Charles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSA For Africa released their debut album, We Are the World, in 1985. This album featured the title track, as well as other songs such as “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, “Hands Across America”, and “Tears Are Not Enough”. The album was a huge success, selling more than 15 million copies worldwide and winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1986.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to their debut album, USA For Africa has released several other albums, including a live concert album, a tribute album to Michael Jackson, and a 25th anniversary edition of We Are the World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about USA For Africa is that the organization has raised more than $300 million for famine relief since its formation. This money has been used to support initiatives such as food banks, educational programs, and medical care. USA For Africa has also been a vocal advocate for ending hunger and poverty in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"usa-for-africa-we-are-the-world-383358","title":"USA For Africa – We Are The World (VG+\/VG+) – LP, AU 1985","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWe Are The World is an LP by USA For Africa from 1985 released on the CBS label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2 class=\"product-about-heading\"\u003eAbout this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWe Are The World is the era-defining charity pop project that united dozens of major American artists around one song and a wider album release. Issued in 1985, the recording was organised by USA for Africa and produced by Quincy Jones, with Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson’s title anthem becoming the focal point of a global relief effort for famine aid in Ethiopia. Blending pop, soft rock and synth-pop, the project turned celebrity collaboration into a genuine cultural event, helping set the template for later benefit singles while raising extraordinary public awareness for a humanitarian cause. Its legacy rests as much in its social impact as in its star-studded lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n
