We Are the World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"We Are the World" is a 1985 song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of 45 popular musicians billed as USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa). The charity single was intended to raise funds to help famine-relief efforts in Africa, which had experienced unusual drought in 1984/1985.
Vocal format
Jones worked out which singers would perform which lyrics, studying recordings of each of the selected singers to decide which would work well with each other. He paired Billy Joel with Tina Turner and Willie Nelson with Dionne Warwick, as well as Michael Jackson with Prince (who was a no-show for the recording), so instead Jackson was paired with Diana Ross.
During the performance, the solo portions, sung by the lead singers, allowed their distinctive, famous voices to be heard individually, or in pairs, for a short phrase, before the entire group sang the third repetition of the chorus verses. Later into the song, they intensify the climax of the song with a key change from E to F.
The arrangement created a dramatic effect by having the entire group sing together, but only after many of the celebrity singers were each revealed, in solo/duet parts, with two repetitions of the chorus as solos/duets. Then, the bridge was also sung as solos/duets by Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes, and Cyndi Lauper, building the crescendo into the entire group singing "We are the world, we are the children...."
The audio effect of the various reveals, by their famous solo voices, was also repeated in the video version, with closeup views of each singing artist before the entire singing group was shown (the video is a composite of multiple filmings). That sequence of reveals was a result of the pairings made by Quincy Jones.
