You're the first reactor who immediately recognized Paul Simon & got excited! I'm so happy, nobody ever pays any attention to him or even knows who he is.

[AnnetteRead-mk]

There you go, black and whites all together with only one aim in sight, to help those in need. No racism voiced here only beautiful voices ❤ why have we all forgotten this😢

[livelaughandlovelong]

Combining Bruce Springsteen & Stevie Wonder was genius. You are like a child @ Christmas Sarah. Always so joyful.

Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson put this together, along with Quincy Jones who is the conductor. It is an incredible gift to all the people. Seeing all of these amazing singers come together is a fantastic experience. Thank you for taking the time.

[ralphyzabal]

This was each and everyone getting on board for this great cause. Everything was donated even the people preparing the studio with speakers, lighting and Everything they needed was donated no one received any pay this was people coming together no matter how famous they were they gave thier all. They all came to the studio from the award show that was going on. It was just beautiful to watch. ❤❤❤

The world was a much different place back when this song came out, i think we need a little more of what this song is saying.

[suereed]

I remember exactly where I was when I saw this the 1st time I cried then and I cried tonight the beauty of the vocals, the wonder of all the words and seeing all the actors/singer many not with us any more. This song does not age!!!!

[mikemiller]

Someone already listed the soloists in the video but there were several artists in the choir who didn't get solos including Bette Midler, Dan Akroyd, Lindsey Buckingham, John Oates, Latoya Jackson, Harry Belefonte and others.

[TOPCHEF]

British artists did this December 1984.They sang Do they know it's Christmas"This happened a few months after..It all led up to LIVE AID benefit concert in London Wembley Stadium & Philadelphia USA

[lisablake]

Willie Nelson is the one you asked "who is this"- definitely need to listen to a song of his. He is iconic American. And the next one you asked is Bruce Springsteen. There is a great documentary on this I think on Netflix about making this song. Worth watching.
