Well done behind the scenes documentary about the making of “We are the world”.
Serious 80’s nostalgia. Will hit the late 40 something’s and older right in the feels. The amount of musical firepower in the room is astounding to this day.
Worth checking out…

Do they mention John Denver?

Just a quick joke about him.
Edit: Paul Simon joked that “if a bomb lands on this place, John Denver's back on top”

Waylon walking out because he didn't want to sing swahali(sp) like Stevie Wonder was pushing was funniest thing. Bob Dylan looked and acted like he was hugh as a kite.
Interesting to see Dan Aykroyd there.
So many really good singers
Also, L Richie seemed to make the whole thing go. He was all up in all the conversations and egos.

That was hilarious. And then them telling Stevie that Ethiopians don’t speak Swahili lol.

Was a great scene…
Listen; all Stevie had was the World Book Encyclopedia or Britannica. The interwebs hadn’t shown up yet. Plus he was blind and could not read either anyway.
Seriously though. He’d of been excoriated by the media nowadays. LOL…

The back to back of Steve Perry and Daryl Hall was perfect. Nailed it the fist time.

Huge fan of both; but, Perry’s vocal range was just massive. People bang on the 80’s a bit; but, looking back we enjoyed a positively guilded age for pop.

We watched it the other night. The people who made this happen were Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones. The job Quincy Jones did producing the song in one night was absolutely ridiculous.

To be truthful; I’m a huge Huey Lewis fan. Seen him several times. Even I laughed a bit when he was asked to step in for Prince.

Agree - there are some absolute gems in the documentary.

Glad to hear it is good, it is on my list but I have been doing my first Justified rewatch so I haven't gotten around to it.

Pretty incredible the way it came together with all different voices
Warwick can sing and I never thought the lauper part would have worked but it did

The best interviews for sure... "I'm being asked to make up a harmony with Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder in the room."
GREAT film.

I watched this last night, and loved it. Big time nostalgia vibes, but more than that it's just cool to see some behind the scenes stuff of how it was made and how that night went and how they pulled it off. It's amazing to me how these people wrote some of the best and most memorable songs of that time out of thin air. I could sit and listen to someone like Richie, MJ, McCartney, anybody like that...talk about their songwriting process forever. That shite fascinates me.
Dan Akroyd being there is still hilarious. I loved how nervous Huey Lewis was. And it was also cool how for the most part everyone did actually leave their egos at the door. It was also cool how Lionel Richie basically told Prince to frick off when he said he wanted a guitar solo and wanted to come record it in a room by himself and not be a part of the group. I loved Quincy Jones saying "He wants a guitar solo, but that's not what we're doing here..."
And Bob Dylan looked like he had autism or something. Talk about a fish out of water, which is hilarious considering he was one of the most musically-influential people in the room.
I was reading about WAtW on Wiki after watching the doc and it said that Waylon Jennings left for a short while and came back to participate in the recording. But that's not at all how it was portrayed in the doc. Weird.
Really great doc. Excellent even.

What’s funny is a few months ago some friends and I were saying this music video is a perfect 80s time capsule, then this came out
The Prince stuff was good didn’t know Huey got his solo, Stevie showing ray to the bathroom, Michael and his animals while trying to write the song. There was some great stuff in there
Also never knew it was basically a marathon session right after the AMAs…guess they didn’t film any of the mass amounts of cocaine use.

Those were some great times to be alive. Nothing even remotely close to this would go down successfully today.
