We are the world
Michael Jackson
In 1984, artistic America united in a single choir in favor of Africa, and in particular of Ethiopia, singing "We are the world" as one under the representative name of USA for Africa, where USA is not for "United States Of America", but "United Support Artists".
The entire devolvated recess helped Ethiopia to face the terrible famine from which it was afflicted for 2 years.
Music combines when it wants, and this is the proof. The group was composed of most of the greatest pop voices of the 1980s.
