📅 On 7 March 1985, music legends united to release We Are the World—one of the biggest charity anthems of all time. 🎶🌍 In the mid-1980s, Ethiopia was facing one of the worst famines in modern history. Millions were starving, and while the world watched, real action was slow. Then came Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, who wrote a song to make a difference—produced by Quincy Jones and recorded by some of the biggest names in music. As the artists entered the studio, they saw a sign: 📝 “Check your egos at the door.” What followed was a historic recording session—some of the world’s most iconic voices, working until dawn to complete the track. 🎵 We Are the World became a global phenomenon, selling 20 million copies, raising over $63 million for famine relief, and winning three Grammys, including Song of the Year. 💬 What’s the most powerful charity song ever recorded?
