USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year. The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people. A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8, 2004.

Dec 2, 2008 - There you are in the studio, delighted, perhaps even suprised Lionel gave you a call...looking forward to doing your bit and then in walks your vocal nemesis...Steve Perry. Oh dear. Now it doesn't matter what you do, you're going to sound like a right muppet compared to the mastery of Perry. I think I would have just got my coat and headed on home. 2:30, doesn't he just nail it!

Dec 2, 2008 - Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder Cindi Lauper (the screaming chick), Bruce Springsteen (the funny faced guy), Kenny Rogers (when he still looked normal), Michael Jackson (before he got scary), Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Steve Perry, and many of the absolute best voices of the 80's. Dude, where's my decade?

Dec 2, 2008 - nobody is saying America is a saint but America has done more for other countries than any other country since most countries either dont have the resources to help other countries and then most out there and I can name a few just dont give a shit and make the lives of the people in their country brutally hard and have actually tried to spread it around imagine if some other countries out there had americas power the world would be extremely dark
