Today In History

USA for Africa

With so much going on every single minute of every single day, it can be hard to keep track. We’ve decided to look backward to help us see how far we’ve come today. On this day in history (April 27th) a lot has happened but nothing is more significant than the USA for Africa video.

On this date in 1985, USA For Africa started a three-week run at No.1 on the US chart with ‘We Are The World’. It had an all-star cast including Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Ray Charles, Billy Joel and Paul Simon. Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie composed the track.

Do you think the video holds up? Let us know @YAmzine!
