We Are the World is proudly presented for your enjoyment by AAMI Car Insurance.
Hello, I'm Jane Fonda and this is A&M Studios in Hollywood, California. On the evening of
January 28th along with several other people, I was fortunate to be here and to witness an
extraordinary event. 45 of the most remarkable singers in American popular music had come
together to record a special song and make a special commitment. For many of us watching
that night, part of the thrill was seeing so many diverse artists working together so
compatibly with serious purpose but with a sense of humor and spontaneous spirit. After all, how
often have any of us had a chance to see genuine legends like Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Michael
Jackson, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, oh and so many
more all in the same room sharing harmonies telling jokes and even shedding tears. Frankly,
it was a bit like a dream. The vision of an artist community coming together declaring that
an urgent common concern was more important to them than musical differences or individual
renown. It was a dream too good not to share and so in the next hour we would like to give you a
glimpse of some of the more enduring moments of that memorable evening. A few days before the actual
historic session, another musical meeting took place. This time at Lion's Share Studios with
Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, and Stevie Wonder all present.
By the end of the session it was clear that the song not
only had shape and substance but also had enough heart and soul to inspire the kind of affinity
necessary to bind together so many diverse singers. In fact, there was a spirit of cooperation,
amiability, and exhilaration born at this session that would eventually carry over to the entire
USA for Africa project.
The next night Michael and Lionel recorded a final rough version of the vocals while drummer
John Robinson, bassist Lewis Johnson, and pianist Greg Fillengains laid down some basic rhythm
tracks. Then Quincy and engineer Humberto Gatica did a mix of the song and sent tapes of it to the
other artists who were invited to lend their voices to the project. Finally it was the night
of Monday, January 28. Trucks began arriving here at the A&M lot shortly after dark. Over 150
technicians and crew members began assembling a complex audio and video network of equipment.
Nobody was receiving payment for their effort or materials. In fact, even the videotape you're
now watching was contributed and there was more than 45 hours worth of it used. By 830 A&M studios
had been transformed into the temporary capital of American popular music. Michael Jackson bypassed
the American Music Awards to come in by himself and record one final guide vocal that Quincy could
use as a map for the song's chorus parts. Then a little after 9 p.m. the other singers and their
guests began arriving. Many like Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner and Lionel Richie were coming
straight from the American Music Awards where Tina and Cyndi had performed and Lionel had hosted.
People who had been competitors only a few hours before were now meeting as partners in deliverance.
Others like Darryl Hall, John Oates, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen had flown in that
same day. When I saw those faces come in the studio that night after the American Music Awards and
they just were checking in one by one Ray Charles and just on and on and I started to feel that
everybody was on the case and they weren't involved and the Eagles and that's one of the
keywords we had that night was check your ego at the door.
You saw artists that had just met for the evening hugging each other or comforting each
other. I will tell you though no one who was intimidated. To walk into their midst and to
feel an instant sense of camaraderie, an instant sense of belonging, an instant sense of oneness
is a very unusual experience.
Ryan O'Neill and Barbara Streisand are together again in What's Up Doc. More than just a love
story, it's a mad mad comedy. It's hilarious, wild, zany and totally outrageous fun. What's
Up Doc, 9.30 Saturday on Channel 10. Both these drivers have been Rating 1 for the last
four years. He's with the RACV. Oh no, he's about to lose his Rating 1. Extra cost, $94.
Oh no, well at least he's with AAMI. We won't touch his Rating 1 and there's no extra cost
because at AAMI we reckon he's earned one on us. The art of classic Italian spaghetti
bolognese is now in your hands. New allure by Masterpillers, plump ripe tomatoes, all
this natural goodness, herbed and spiced, chopped and simmered and ready to add to your
own fresh meat. So now with Allure, just as fast as you can boil spaghetti, you can make
your family a masterpiece every time. New Allure makes spaghetti bolognese a masterpiece
from Masterfood, the tastemakers. At North America's oldest registered distillery, Jack
Daniel's in Tennessee, there's time to make Jack Daniel's like old Jack himself made it
in 1866. Using spring water from this limestone cave and smoothing every drop of whiskey through
these mellowing vats. Nobody else takes the time to make whiskey this way, but after one
sip you'll be glad Jack Daniel's still does. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. First I'd
like you to meet Bob Geldof who is really the inspiration for this whole thing. Thank
you, Chef. He just came back from Ethiopia and he'd like to talk to you. Oh, would I?
Well maybe to put you in the mood of the song you're about to sing, which hopefully will
save millions of lives. I think it's best to remember that the price of a life this
year is a piece of plastic seven inches wide with a hole in the middle. And that I think
is an indictment of us. And I think what's happening in Africa is a crime of historical
proportions. And the crime is that the Western world has got billions of tons of grain bursting
in its silos and we're not releasing it to people who are dying of hunger. And I don't
know if we in particular can conceive of nothing, but nothing is not having a cardboard box
to sleep under at minus ten degrees. Nothing is not having any drink to get drunk on, not
having water. And you walk into one of the corrugated iron huts and you see meningitis
and malaria and typhoid buzzing around in the air and you see dead bodies lying side
by side with the live ones. And on a good day you can only see 120 people die slowly
in front of you. And some of the camps you see 15 bags of flour for 27 and a half thousand
people. And it's that that we're here for. And I don't want to bring anybody down, but
maybe it's the best way of making what you really feel, why you're really here tonight,
come out through this song. So thanks a lot everybody and let's hope it works.
We're going to start out to, number one I'd like to just let everybody know that the names
down here are for solos. We're going to do the ensembles first and to get all the stacking
and all that carpentry out of the way. So if it's too high for anybody they can just rest
on this stack and then we'll come back and put it away, okay? So we'll play, we'll make
the playback and then we'll start chopping wood, okay?
Can I hear it, hum?
Okay, let's cut, let's put it on tape.
The highest point was conducting that choir because there were some moments in that chorus
where I had goosebumps, that's my truth box. And the goosebumps were up all night long.
Whichever one feels good to you, which one feels better or brighter? Brighter is the
one everybody's leaning to, right?
No, I think it should be brighter.
No better, brighter. Yeah, it's going to be brighter now.
It's a better half of a bite. I don't want to open a can of one, stay with brighter.
No, no better, brighter. It's true we make a brighter day just you and me instead of better.
Everybody say brighter because that's what we're saying anyway.
Can we hear about four bars without the track? Acapulco, one, two, three.
When you hear it on the radio, We Are the World sounds like one seamless flowing performance.
But working on it in the studio was like making a jigsaw puzzle, part by part, including some
pieces that finally didn't fit, like this experimental chorus by Michael.
We are the world, Sharla. We're all children, Sharling and...
Well, as usual, Michael was a real pro and he worked so well with all the other artists.
The chemistry was great, man.
We are the world, Sharla. We are the children, Sharling and...
We are the ones to make a...
Sharla, let's talk it. Because that's what we're giving.
We are the world. We are the children.
We are the ones to make a brighter day. So let's start giving.
Ah...
Everybody sings great. Everybody has a wonderful ear. Everyone caught on real fast.
It's great to watch Quincy. I've never been in the studio with him and he's a master.
So that was a real thrill.
One world.
All the people that are here are ultra in their own right.
And of course, I'm just so happy to get to see them.
So let's start giving.
You know, when I close my eyes and try to listen to the voices behind me and I turn around and look at their faces,
I just love it.
Ah...
It's something out of a dream. To see all of that energy together, it's what I've always wanted to see.
It's the kind of energy that really can change the world. It's incredible.
One world. So let's start giving.
All right!
All in all, Quincy and the group worked for about four hours that night until nearly 2 a.m.,
recording all the necessary parts to complete the song's tightly woven chorus.
Just before the chorus broke up, there was this spontaneous tribute to Harry Belafati.
He had come to get me.
He had come to get me.
He had come and he wanted to go home.
What the hell?
That sounded like a black man's beard.
We've been working all day now we're working all night.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
What a...
We've been working all day now we're working all night.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Oh, oh, oh.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Oh, oh, oh.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Hey, beautiful one.
All right, banana.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
It hides the deadly black tarantula.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
It's death, death, death, death, death, day, oh.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Oh, dear.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
River, oh, hey, oh, dear, oh.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
I like to sing and drink, be rowdy.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
Oh, lo-lo.
If you say too much, I'll have to sing.
Daylight come and we want to go home.
You're going to have to be driven home by me already
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Daylight come and we wanna go home
In a not too distant suburb on a very quiet street, Earl Keith sits waiting for his dinner. Little does he know he's about to meet...
The Neighbours
Ah, Ramona and I haven't eaten all day. We could eat a baby's butt through a park bench.
John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. They were funny as the Blues Brothers.
Who goes there?
Earl Keith
They're hilarious as Neighbours

Hey, what age are you?
Both these drivers have been rating one for the last four years. He's with the RACV.
Oh no, he's about to lose his rating one. Extra cost, $94.
Oh no, well at least he's with double AMI. We won't touch his rating one and there's no extra cost.
Because at Amy we reckon he's earned one on us.

In your eyes I see your hunger
In your eyes I see myself
Does your mind hold many secrets?
Will you suffer by yourself?
Can you hear the words I'm saying?
It's one thing I can do
I'm gonna stop for 40 hours and leave it all go for you
Join the World Vision 40 hour famine. Call the number now.
Make tomorrow a Purina for me
You may think all muesli's are equally nutritious, but they're not. That's why I give my family Purina toasted muesli.
I won't take chances with plain labels, would you?
I've tried the green cover folks. Alright, I will give you five minutes, it's okay. Get yourself together.
In addition to the meticulous recording of the song, there were some other matters the artists had to attend to that evening,
including a 2.30 a.m. photo session for a 12 page article which ran in the April issue of Life, detailing the evening's events.
2.30 in the morning may not be the best hour for many of us, but there was a sense of fellowship in the studio that night that seemed to fuel everybody's spirit and stamina.
Mass hysteria broke out because everybody wanted everybody else's autograph.
I realized that there was a room of everybody being fans of everybody else.
Everyone wanted a memento that we could all keep ourselves, and we had the sheet music and had all the other artists sign it.
And I don't think there was one out there that didn't get everyone to sign it.
During the evening, all of the artists signed 100 U.S.A. for Africa posters.
Later these posters would be sold with the money going to the project's famine relief fund.
And it would be the best line in the tune.
I'm just going to move around until I get a line I like.
Then at 3 a.m. it was time to start the rehearsals for the montage of 21 lead vocals and duet and harmony parts that would give the song its unique character and flow.
While Quincy read over the various parts with most singers, often showing them the precise phrasing he wanted, others worked their parts out in pairs.
Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles teamed together, for example, reading their lines with the use of an electronic braille machine.
That's yours.
I'm going to turn it up to chorus.
The exact order of the vocals and the job of deciding who would sing solos and who wouldn't, and how to match up so many dissimilar voices, had been made a couple of days earlier by Lionel, Quincy, and Quincy's associate producer and vocal arranger, Tom Baylor.
We cease being individuals.
We're a family so strong, so committed to something, that it was frightening.
By four in the morning everybody felt comfortable with their parts. In fact, everybody seemed quite invigorated.
But just prior to the recording of the solos, something happened to remind all of us of the underlying serious purpose of the event.
Stevie Wonder brought two guests into the studio, two Ethiopian women who had seen famine spreading across their homeland.
As one of these women spoke to the artists, it was as if the reality of the tragedy in Africa had just come closer to home in an unforgettable way.
We thank you for all you have done. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Monday night, the greatest adventure of all.
Who are you?
A friend.
Superman, the man of steel, fighting his secret battle against crime and injustice.
Good night, Superman. Little souvenir from the old hometown. I've spared no expense to make you feel right at home.

Easy, miss. I've got you.
You've got me? Who's got you?
Superman, the love story.
Any more at home like you?
Not really, no.

What are you having?
G'day. You know, I've been breeding thoroughbreds here for about 15 years, so I reckon I know a good horse.

What we do is we have mics in front of us, but what we'll do is you lean in on your part. And then when your part, you know, when the other person comes in, when you duet with someone, whatever the case is, when your part comes up, lean in.
Don't sing back here. You sing back here, we'll never know you will.
Step in or leave?
No, come on in. Even though they have your name back here.
This is a real recording. It's just a good...
The names are back there, but the mics are up here.
Come to the microphone.
Testing one, two.
Let me know when you're ready.
Ready.
Ready.
Are they ready?
We're gonna run a little, yeah.
There comes a time...
When we need...
Wait a minute. We gotta stop making noise during takes, please.
Come on, come on.
There comes a time...
When we need...
We are all a part of God's great big family.
And the truth, you know, love is all we need.
We are the truth.
We are the truth.
We are the truth.
We are the truth.
We are the truth.
There's a choice we're making.
We're saving our own lives.
Won't you send them your heart?
So they know that someone cares.
Their life will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread.
And so we all must live in helping hands.
We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones to make a brighter day.
There's a choice we're making.
There's a choice we're making.
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day just you and me.
When you're done enough, there seems to be hope at all.
But if you just believe there's nowhere we can fall.
But let us realize all that a change will only come.
When we stand together as one.
I thought I didn't go down.
I didn't go down.
You're sending me out a lot of bracelets.
Oh, is that? Oh, my earring.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, no.
There it goes.
Should we play one more?
No.
That's the cat.
Thank you.
I'm going to do everything I can to sing that in tune.
We're far, we're far, far, far.
Thank you.
Easy. Easy.
Haiti.
We'll get into that time of the morning where we must be as accurate as possible.
Here we go.
There comes a time when we heed a certain call.
After maybe only a half a dozen takes, the main sequence of solo vocals was finished.
Now there were only a few fill-in items left.
Fish burger, fish burger.
Tonight, the giants of world wrestling are out to settle a few scores on championship wrestling.

It's amazing how much extra salt and extra sugar finds its way into our daily diet.
That's why more people are enjoying Purina, Swiss Muesli, and high-fiber Muesli. No added salt, no added sugar.
There's a chance we're making it. We're all in the world. So let's not give in.
There's a chance we're making it. We're saving our lives. It's true.
We make a better day than we have thinking. After your thing in modulation.
Somebody else bring it over here so I can hear it.
There's a chance we're making it. We're saving our own lives. It's true.
We make a better day for you and me.
Is that sort of it? Sort of like that?
Bob wanted to be a part of this because there were people dying.
And he made his fame and his fortune on public awareness.
That's what he's known for. So for him to be in that room was ever so fitting.
And I saw the real reason why he is Bob Dylan.
That was probably the hardest working cat I've ever met in my life.
I kept waiting for him to get tired and sit down and rest. He kept saying,
I want to do it again.
So let's not give in. There's a choice we're making.
Yeah, we're saving our own lives. It's true.
We make a better day just you and me.
I think anytime somebody asks you to take one night at a time,
there's people from starving to death some place. It's pretty hard.
You can't say no.
So let's not give in.
Thank you, thank you.
I broke a legitimate sweat on it.
Take care.
You killed it. And we made it through it.
Is it okay?
Yeah.
The night session was finished. Daylight had come and it was time to go home.
The session may have been over, but the work was hardly done.
In fact, the most crucial part of the task, the assembling of all the various parts,
sequences and solos, pulling all of these complex elements into one cohesive package
that would play seamlessly was still to be done.
That work was begun a few days later here at Lion's Share Studio.
Here, engineer Humberto Gattica and Quincy Jones spent several long days
weaving the various threads into a final effective blend.
To deepen the song's soulfulness, Quincy brought a handful of singers back into the studio,
including Ray Charles, the man who had virtually invented soul music over 30 years ago.
Are you saying wheel or we?
It comes out like we.
It's the we.
We make a better day.
Okay, I just want to make sure.
It's true we make a better day.
Is that right?
Yes.
Hello, Howard.
I give it to you.
And we keep this here in case I have to write anything else.
So you show me what you want now and where you want it, babe.
And then that's all you have to do.
Go. One shot through.
If there were words you want to use professionally,
these are the music businesses Ray Charles.
I call him the one take genius.
Let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making.
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day.
Listen, you and me.
We are the world.
We are the children.
We make a better day.
Let's start giving.
There's a choice we're making.
We're saving our own lives.
It's true we make a better day.
Just you and me.
Hey.
I'm glad you're singing.
We are the children to make a better day.
Just did you hear what I said?
All right.
Ray Charles, when he opens his mouth, you know it's a standard.
And when he puts his hands on the keyboards, what else do you want him to do?
He's going to play the piano.
For me, I think it is a great opportunity, a wonderful chance to participate
and contribute something to a wonderful cause.
And I'm honored just to be asked to be a part of it.
Finally, Quincy brought in James Ingram.
We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones that make a better day.
So let's start giving.
Spit flying everywhere.
We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones that make a better day.
So let's start giving.
It's just we're making.
We're saving our own lives.
It's true.
We make a better day.
Thank you and me.
I messed up.
I messed up.
Hey, everybody in the audience, I messed up.
Hey, can you hear me?
There's another way we use that.
We don't say that on the radio.
But I messed up.
We are the world.
We are the world.
Maybe it really is that we have to be kind of the voice for the people through our song
to really help those people that have lost their perspectives on what life is about.
I have a long life to live.
Let's make a better day for you and me.

At North America's oldest registered distillery, Jack Daniel's in Tennessee,
they use spring water from deep underground to make Jack Daniel's whiskey.
And they smooth every drop of their whiskey through huge mellowing vats, something no other distiller still does.
At Jack Daniel's, they've insisted on spring water and extra mellowing since 1866.
After a sip of their whiskey, you'll be glad they always will. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey.
The recording of We Are the World was quite an event.
Not merely a glorious star-studded evening, but possibly one of the most idealistic occasions in pop music history.
In that way, it was also a measurement of just how much pop music has grown in recent years
and how many of its best artists feel responsible to the world around them.
But in many ways, what happened that night was just a start.
In the weeks following the We Are the World sessions, several other groups of artists,
including Canadian, Latin American, Gospel, and African pop stars,
recorded similar benefit singles for the Relief of Hunger in Africa and other parts of the world.
Perhaps the most moving response to USA for Africa took place on the morning of April 5th, Good Friday,
when over 8,000 radio stations around the globe played We Are the World at the same time.
It was an utterly unprecedented event that reached and affected millions of people of all races and all beliefs.
But it's important to point out that we aren't just talking about worldwide popularity or massive record sales here.
When 8,000 radio stations play this song at the same hour, it means that the world is momentarily a neighborhood of concern,
coming together to save some hungry children.
And when you or I buy this record, We Are the World, that concern becomes a concrete action.
The money from the record sales and this program goes to work effectively and quickly,
addressing not just immediate needs of hunger, but also the long-term matter of self-sufficiency,
so that the trend of famine in these countries can be reversed and brought under control by those who are the most affected.
This means that we can save real lives, give real people a chance to find their own strength again,
and to live without the awful ever-present fear of starvation.
The poet John Donne once said,
Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind.
Today in the words of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, a pop song says,
There's a choice we're making. We're saving our own lives.
The message is much the same.
If we're involved in mankind, we can't look away from what's happening in Africa,
because if we do, we are gradually killing our conscience.
And that might be the most terrible death of all.
It's so nice to be able to see this caliber of talent get together for this, you know, what is really a very tragic reason.
It's a shame it takes something like this to put this group together,
but it's nice to see and know that when it's all said and done, these people do respond.
I think it's a great thing. I think that artists should definitely do something positive like this. That's why I'm here.
When they called and asked for this, this was something that I really, it's very close to me because I have been following it,
and I was determined to do my little bit.
I got a feeling that we're creating a shift in what's going on in the world today about helping other people.
It's compassion. It's real new. And it's wonderful. It's a good feeling. I was happy they included me, really.
If this can be almost seen as a symbol for people to just begin to recognize, you know, and look around them a little bit,
I think, you know, we'll be better off.
People, you know, usually unless something immediately touches somebody, they don't react to them.
I think that when you get all these people together like this, you're just saying, don't turn away.
Don't, don't, it's hard. It's hard to not turn away. I think that's what everybody here is trying to say tonight.
The money will really get to go where it's supposed to go, and it's got so much good energy behind it.
And so many good, talented people lending their names to the whole idea that it's just got to work.
Once anybody is involved in something like this, once you've tasted this,
you can be sure that everybody will have a lifetime commitment to just doing this for the rest of their lives.
When something like this comes along that allows everyone to participate and feel that they're making a contribution,
you rush to do it because otherwise you feel that you're just a witness to just a tragedy.
I do believe that what we have done is that we're taking it one at a time.
And out of this experience we may be able to save a few thousand lives.
And I think that's what we, that's how we have to focus on it.
One at a time, catch a child, catch a woman, catch an old person, catch a young man. Just do it.
People are basically real good. I think that a lot of times you've got to show them the way somebody,
some individual has to take action. Bob took action, I took action, Harry Belafonte took action, Lionel took action,
Michael Jackson took action. We all basically did something.
I'm appealing to you to get involved.
I don't want anyone to get the hunger program out of your mind until the hunger stops,
until babies stop dying, until communities stop dying, until people stop dying from hunger.
They're going to need your help. Anything you can do,
if you have any feeling in your heart at all about human life and the celebration of life,
give of yourselves, give what you can. There are people dying.

Both these drivers have been rating one for the last four years.
He's with the RACB. Oh no, he's about to lose his rating one. Extra cost, $94.
Oh no, well at least he's with AAMI. We won't tell him once he's rating one,
and there's no extra cost, because at Amy we reckon he's earned one on us.
A dog? I probably can't afford one.
Mitsubishi announces the conquest of inner space. This is the new Mitsubishi Magna.
How's this for inner space? More shoulder room than Holden Commodore,
more leg room than Ford Telstar, more head room than just about anybody.
In fact, plenty of room all round for five hefty adults and their luggage.
The new Magna, a totally new class of car from Mitsubishi, carmaker of the year.
Is your throat feeling sore? Does the soreness make it hard to swallow?
Sooner or later you know you're going to have to swallow. Before you do, try these, strepsils.
They're not like lollies. Strepsils are medicated to help fight germs and soothe the soreness.
That's better, isn't it? Now you can get on with whatever you're doing.
Strepsils soothe the soreness.
Excuse me, but with continental hot pot there's no need to add carrots.
They're already there. And no need to add tomatoes or onions. They're already there.
No need to add herbs and spices. They're...
Look, does continental hot pot already have African artichokes?
Ah, well, no. Ta-da!
Continental hot pot gives you a delicious nourishing casserole every time because everything's already there.
Continental hot pot. Just add meat. Oh, and African artichokes if you like.
There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one
There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all We can go on pretending day by day
That the moon is somewhere we'll soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world We are the children
We are the ones who make a right of our day So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives
It's true we'd make a better day Just you and me
Well, send them your heart So they know that someone here
And their life will be stronger and free As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand

When we stand together as one
