About this album

We 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.

Genre: Pop & Rock
