The biggest names in music ‘checked their egos at the door’ to create what was a worldwide phenomenon. Today most of them are dead because of the 'Curse of 2016.' In addition to the title track, the album includes nine previously unreleased songs by donating artists including Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Steve Perry and Prince. Prince never showed up for the making of the title song because, as Wendy Melvoin put it, "Because he thinks he's a badass and he wanted to look cool, and he felt
like the song for 'We Are the World' was horrible and he didn't want to
be around 'all those muthafuckas.'" @ Released: April 23, 1985 @
