Someone inquired about the shows we were watching yesterday and while I’m more inclined to watch movies, I can recommend a doco called “The Greatest Night in Pop.”

Released last month, it’s Lionel Richie’s narration along with video footage of the “We are the World” recording session.” Proceeds of the recording going to African famine relief in 1985.

Aside from the fact that, in a single room, so many legendary musicians were able to be corralled on a single (long) night, the interesting part was how humbled everyone became. The ego’s must have deflated a bit that night. Bob Dylan looking shit scared haha. And Steve Perry…I forgot that man can really belt it.

They worked all through the night to get it done with Bruce Springsteen adding some finishing vocals at around 7 or 8 in the morning.

I was even prompted to read old Rolling Stone articles about it the next day for additional story and context .
