“We Are The World” song remake for Haiti
25 years after the original, charity anthem ‘We Are The World’ has been given a hip-hip, pop twist by top artists, including Celine Dion, Jonas Brothers and Wyclef Jean. The stars have re-recorded the 80s hit to raise money for Haiti.
The music industry is looking back a generation in order to raise money for the earthquake-ravaged nation. Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones are honoring the 25th anniversary of the song “We Are the World” by recording a remix to benefit Haitian earthquake victims, the Guardian reports. Like its 1985 original, which raised money for African famine relief, this star-studded iteration will include a song and video. Richie and Jones want to team with Usher, Natalie Cole, John Legend, and organizers are asking nominees and other stars to stay in Los Angeles for an extra night after the Grammy awards to participate. Michael Jackson, who co-wrote the song, is expected to be integrated as well. “We Are the World” will be released alongside charity tracks by Simon Cowell, and by the unlikely trio of Jay-Z, Bono, and Rihanna, which performs at Friday’s telethon, co-hosted by the equally unlikely trio of George Clooney, Wyclef Jean, and Anderson Cooper.
