We are the world
U.S.A. for Africa 1985

1984年, 非洲衣索比亞發生飢荒，
為援助饑民，而開始有的公益大合唱，

美國推出的歌曲─"We Are The World"
於是，便開啟日後的群星合唱模式...

這首歌是由Lionel Richie和Michael Jackson合寫，
兩人費了四天的時間寫曲，Lionel先完成一部分，
Michael看到後靈感大發，一夜之間就把全曲寫好。
之後他們又花了兩個半小時作詞，為了普遍推廣此曲，
歌詞也力求簡單易學。單曲完成後推出問世，
受到的歡迎難以想像，短短數週便賣出八百萬張。

確實是首出色的製作，
數十位大牌歌手每人分唱幾句歌詞，
要能充分發揮個人特色，
又要兼顧歌曲的流暢性，
確實不容易，製作人
昆西瓊斯（Quincy Jones）功不可沒。


作曲/填詞: Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson
製作人: Quincy Jones
