In the midst of one of the most historic recording sessions, Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, and all 40 artists turned the room into a spontaneous, fun-filled sing-along. They all joyfully sang Harry Belafonte’s classic “Banana Boat (Day-O)” with the legend himself by their side | "We Are The World: The Story Behind The Song" documentary courtesy of USA For Africa | USA For Africa

41 years ago, the historic recording session for “We Are The World” took place. That night, over 40 iconic artists, including Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper, and Bruce Springsteen, parked their ego at the door and came together to sing for change. What began as a moment of unity became a lasting reminder of what can happen when we come together under a shared purpose. “We Are The World” music video filmed January 28, 1985 | Enhanced music video courtesy of USA For Af
