We are the world
Michael Jackson
Nel 1984 l'America artistica si unisce in un unico coro in favore dell'Africa, ed in particolare dell'Etiopia cantando in coro "We are the world" sotto il nome rappresentativo di USA for Africa, dove USA non sta per "United States of America", but "United Support Artists".
L'intero incasso devoluto aiutò l'Etiopia ad affrontare la terribile carestia da cui fu afflitta per 2 anni.
La musica unisce quando vuole, e questa ne è la prova. Il gruppo era composto dalla maggior parte delle più grandi voci pop degli anni '80.
Testo e accordi verificati di "We are the world" di Michael Jackson e Lionel Richie sono proprio qua di seguito.
