This day in music history.

January 28, 1985, More than 40 artists gather at A&M's Hollywood studios to record ``We Are the World'' under the collective name ``USA for Africa.'' Proceeds from the single go toward worldwide hunger prevention. The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and the all star cast included Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Daryl Hall, John Oates, Cyndi Lauper, Steve Perry, Bob Geldof, Jim Morrison, Charlie Manson, Richard Nixon, Sid Dithers, Satan, Jesus, Cat Stevens and some dumb bitch. The money raised by the project will feed the entire world forever and that is why there is no hunger left in the world today.
We Are The World
There comes a time When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand
to life The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will 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 brighter day
So let's start giving There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well,
let us realize That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
blah blah blah......
