Welcome to May 2024! Let's find out how many legends are tuning in to this phenomenal song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you're watching this in 2024, then we're friends!

Also, Lionel Richie deserves a hugeeee standing ovation for his role here. Hosted the AMAs, won prizes, went to the studio, kept solving problems, made everyone feel at ease, made them laugh, kept guiding people, SANGGGG, and stayed until the very end (and of course he co wrote the song!!!!). That man did A LOTTTT and we do not appreciate that enough.

Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote this song. Miss You MJ❤4ever

Blessings for those people who will listen to this song in 2024

Whoelse is here after seeing the Netflix documentary. The greatest night in Pop? Edit- Wow! So much likes, it's great to see many people loved the documentary the same way I did. I doubt if such an iconic moment can ever be created in the world again.

I cried watching the Netflix documentary. What came across is the humanity and humility of these incredible artists who came together and created something special. Amazing! ✨

We are still here!April 2024!Let's go!

This song is the soul of the 80's. So happy I grew up in that time. Was 15 when it came out, now 53, and it's still one of the best things music has ever done.

Let me get this right. Lionel Richie wrote this song with Michael Jackson, hosted the American Music Awards that night, (where he won multiple awards), and then brought all of these amazing artists together to record this song? In the same night? Are you freaking kidding me?? This answers the question as to who the hardest working man in showbusiness is. Much respect Lionel Richie! And to all of the other brilliant artists who helped create this magical song!

I like to imagine that Michael told everyone to come to the studio wearing just whatever, only so he could appear with the most and freshest drip possible lmaoo

We in 2024 and every time I listen to this song I still cry and wish people would just come together ❤

All iconic artists in one iconic song but MJ sprinkled some magic and made it even more iconic

Lyrics: [Lionel Richie] There comes a time when we heed a certain call [Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder] When the world must come together as one [Stevie Wonder] There are people dying [Paul Simon] Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life [Paul Simon & Kenny Rogers] The greatest gift of all [Kenny Rogers] We can't go on pretending day by day [James Ingram] That someone, somewhere will soon make a change [Tina Turner] We are all part of God's great big family [Billy Joel] And the truth, you know, (love is all we need) [Michael Jackson] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Diana Ross] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Diana Ross & Michael Jackson] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Dionne Warwick] Woah, send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their (lives will be stronger and free) [Willie Nelson] As God has shown us by turning stones to bread [Al Jarreau] And so we all must lend a helping hand [Bruce Springsteen] We are the world, we are the children [Kenny Logins] We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Steve Perry] Woah, there's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Daryl Hall] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Michael Jackson] When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all [Huey Lewis] But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall [Cyndi Lauper] Well, well, well, let us realize, oh, that a change can only come [Kim Carnes] When we... (stand together as one) [All] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving [Bob Dylan] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives [Bob Dylan & All] It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [All & Ray Charles] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (let's start giving) [Ray Charles] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Stevie Wonder] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Bruce Springsteen] There's a choice we're making And we're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [James Ingram] We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (so let's start giving) [Ray Charles] There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me [All] We are the world (the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (let's start giving) There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me This comment took a lot of work, so please like the comment and the video

I watched the documentary on Netflix yesterday and found this music video for the first time in a long time. They say nothing lasts forever, but this song will last forever, and so will the hearts of so many of the musicians here.

Who is Listening 2024 give a Like ❤ We are the one ..

0:27 - Lionel Richie 0:33 - Stevie Wonder 0:43 - Paul Simon 0:54 - Kenny Rogers 1:01 - James Ingram 1:07 - Tina Turner 1:13 - Billy Joel 1:20 - Michael Jackson 1:33 - Dianna Ross 1:49 - Dionne Warwick 2:03 - Willie Nelson 2:09 - Al Jarreau 2:15 - Bruce Springsteen 2:22 - Kenny Loggins 2:28 - Steve Perry 2:36 - Daryl Hall 2:49 - Huey Lewis 2:54 - Cyndi Lauper 3:02 - Kim Carnes 3:48 - Bob Dylan 4:42 - Ray Charles

Finished watching the Netflix documentary some hours ago and I realized he(Micheal Jackson) and Lionel Richy wrote this beautiful piece and Quincy brought them all together. This is amazing work will forever be remembered

People, where are our beautiful dreams for this world? Why did we become such strangers to each other? Why don't we sing these beautiful songs to our children? Why is life full of anger and hatred? Let's make the world a more beautiful place for our children.

I love this track, it's incredible to know that one day all these talented artists will come together to give us this classic, for me the best song ever made. Unfortunately some of them are no longer with us but they will always be remembered.

Michael... The shoes, socks, the glove, the jacket, voice... goosebumps all the time

RIP Michael Jackson RIP Ray Charles RIP Kenny Rogers RIP James Ingram RIP Al Jarreau

2024 anyone? 👇

It's almost 40 years since this masterpiece was recorded and the quality of the sound was top notch,clear crystal all the guys involved in putting this piece together are true legends worth celebrating.

MJ's voice was like the angel's voice. It was wonderful.

*This* *is* *not* *song* *.* *This* *is* *is* *timeless* *masterpiece* *.*

It’s 2024 and my heart aches for the dear musicians in this group who have left us, including those who did not solo. James Ingram, Kenny Rogers. Al Jarreau, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Tina Turner. Bonnie Pointer, Harry Belafonte.

One Of The Most Beautiful Songs Ever Written❤

youtube is one of the greatest inventions ever made by humans, it's like a time machine

I completely comprehend Diana Ross's sentiments when she sheds tears and expresses her desire for that night to never end. She, along with everyone present, was acutely aware that it marked a singular moment in their lives and in the broader scope of humanity. It is a legacy destined to endure for generations.

2024 whose watching ❤

It's a beautiful masterpiece, but so many are no longer with us ,but those same artists will forever be sketched in our memories, Michael, Ray Charles ,Tina Turner ,James Ingram, and and a few others

Now in 2024 we can look back at the incredible array of stars there were in that era. It was a golden era.

My favorite part of the Netflix documentary is when the cameraman said he wrote up his invoice for the gig and then learned everyone involved volunteered. And here he is 40 years later, appearing in the documentary, knowing he was a part of something far greater than one night's pay.

Sometimes I rehearse for weeks to get a good recording, they did it in one night, after an event, where everyone was tired, despite the controversies and difficulties, they delivered their best in this show."

Какая красота! Песня моего детства! Просмотр 17.04.2024 Я 1979 года рождения СПАСИБО ВАМ ОГРОМНОЕ

They’re all brilliant but Steve Perry at 2:30 is insane! Could listen to him all day.

I still get chills seeing all these singers together after all these years

If there ever was a song that encapsulated the innocence and pure intent from our 80’s youth and helped show our future generations what is at the heart of their parents(grandparents)…just what us Gen X’ers are…it’d be that song🌞

In 2024 am listening to this great peace by great artists what an awesome project it was back then 1985

This is the song that will play when the world ends and the credits start rolling.

"When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all" The best part, from the voice of the one and only, the legend ❤

UNA MERAVIGLIOSA SPLENDIDA CANZONE UN INNO VERO E PROPRIO ALL' AMORE INCONDIZIONATO PER I BAMBINI E PER LA PACE NEL MONDO, (...ASSOLUTAMENTE NO ALLE GUERRE...!!! ) ... ( ...PEACE AND LOVE FOREVER ...!!! ) COMPLIMENTI A QUESTO FANTASTICO GRUPPO DI CANTANTI " USA FOR AFRICA" 🎉❤🎉 CHE SI SONO UNITI TUTTI QUANTI INSIEME PER FARE DEL BENE OVVIAMENTE DEVOLVENDO I GUADAGNI DI QUESTO DISCO IN BENEFICENZA X I POVERI DELL' AFRICA...!!! ❤🎉❤😮😊

The contrast between Stevie’s and Bruce’s voice gives me chills every time

*1985: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *2021: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *9050: "Wow, this song is amazing!"*

So very moving. I'm a boomer, but even this was years ago, I still feel it is part of my soul.

Hoje em pleno 2024 não temos vozes tão maravilhosas assim para repetir esse clássico que marcou gerações com essa mensagem linda!!!

Just watched the documentary on netflix about the making of this song ''The Greatest Night in Pop'' and was amazing seeing so many legends, each contributing in their own way to make this song so iconic. So much talent all at once. Incredible. Also the stories Lionel Richie tells about Michael Jackson when they were writing this at his house, including his impressions of Michael, are hilarious. 🤣 Michael and Steevie Wonders were borderline music savants, just amazing to watch. They guy who matched the voices and duos was also amazing!!

Diana & Michael's soft voices just go together so beautifully in that verse.

One of the most powerful songs that ever graced the world.

I've cried like a baby watching this incredible development. Years and years singing this song everywhere and last night I realised they were human like me.

Michael Jackson has the most amazing voice ever!!! This man is all about magic!

There will never be a room as full of talent as this one. Truly the best night in pop.

sou colecionadora do michael jackson, vida toda galgada com ele. quantas vezes o tabloide quis vender a imagem de que Michael quis gravar sua parte sozinho por conta do ego. hj o doc mostra que diferentemente do que foi vendido ele apenas foi o primeiro a chegar, nem mesmo comparecendo ao AMAs apenas pq tinha um bem maior a ser feito, gravou sua parte em adiantamento a todos, e depois se manteve presente sempre com um sorriso no rosto sem querer abafar a qualidade musical de ngm ficando ao canto para que todos pudessem brilhar. sua essência no ápice, o maior acontecimento musical de todos os tempos se chama Michael Joe Jackson.

Hello, I was born in 1981 and I am Turkish. Every time I listen to the best quality sounds I have ever heard in my life here. Every artist has the perfect voice. They are all professional and very talented. This is the most successful song made with the inadequate technology of those years. Even today it is not possible to make a song of this quality.

netflix documentary is really beautiful. at the end i cryed!! this generation singers is so powerfull. we don't have singers like them anymore

INCREiBLE que hayan tardado 38 años en pasar un documental sobre como se hizo esta cancion. Hoy gracias a NETFLIX; tiene un valor totalmente diferente para los que amamos la cultura POP y vemos que hoy no le llegan ni a los talones los "artistas" de hoy a esta BESTIALIDAD de talentos.

Incredible. Never knew the intricate details until I watched the Netflix feature. TQVM Netflix for bringing this back to life some 40 years on. Humanity stood tall that night!

Deeply heartbreaking that the choice of LOVING & TRULY BEING THEIR FOR ONE ANOTHER IS EXTREMELY SCARCE THESE DAYS.I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY AND BELIEVE MORE OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD WILL SOFTEN THEIR HEARTS AND DEEPLY SHARE THE LOVE OF GOD & AS FOR GOD TO EVERYONE 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏾♥️♥️♥️🌍🌍🌍

I cried at the end of the show in Netflix The Greatest Night in Pop when Lionel started mentioning that same stage where they all gathered and realized some of those artists are gone. It was really a magical night when they did it.

Came here after the Netflix special documentary about the recording of this song. 😊 knowing what happened during the recording makes this song more special.

Ogni volta che l'ascolto mi suscita emozioni fortissime ❤

Don’t care what anyone says - Michael tried to fix this world in his own way 🖤🖤

2:29 THE voice. Unmistakable.

I’m not sure that our generation singers can recreate this masterpiece

For whoever comes across this message, I extend my heartfelt wishes for a life brimming with joy, prosperity, and countless blessings.

Absolutely brilliant. Love it love it. 🥰Loved it then and love it even more now. Unfortunately many of these amazing musicians are not with us anymore. May they rock in heaven. 🙏

I'm glad Prince didn't show up for this. Huey Lewis's part has always hit me hard (according to the Netflix documentary Huey took Prince's part). Also.. Cyndi Lauper's part is just amazing! So raw and powerful. Plus that Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen combo! It was also very nice to see the support Bob Dylan got in order to sing his part. They did a really great job matching vocals.

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this already, but whoever decided to put Bruce & Stevie’s voices together, is a GENIUS!

Stevie killed it. I loved Ray and Michael shined

I see the classic music, Michael Jackson the King of Pop

Michael jackson’s voice had such power even though it was so soft and angelic, he stands out so much it’s crazy

I love this song

I remember ,this music to address I offer my heartfelt thanks for the song that the famous poets and song writers played to help the people of Ethiopia, because the children of Great Ethiopia are exposed to extreme hunger due to natural drought!! From Addis Ababa Ethiopia!!

I love this song🎉🎉!! It was released when I was an exchange student in 1985 in Australia and we used to sing it in all the gatherings. It brings good memories of my dearest aussie family and friends all over the world❤!!

Aqui do Brasil. Ver esse clipe após assistir ao filme é muito mais emocionante como se tivesse sido gravado agora. Nunca mais teremos algo igual. Porque hoje nem teríamos 40 ídolos pop da geração atual com essa mesma qualidade. Os amantes do pop são eternamente gratos por essa obra prima! Obrigada, obrigada, e obrigada!

The stevie-springsteen duet was just unreal. Good choice pairing them for that.

I just watch the Netflix documentary about how Harry Belafonte wanted to do something to help the famine stricken people of Ethiopia in 1985. If you want to watch something uplifting, inspiring and a bit awing don't miss it. Watching this right after the documentary is really giving the whole thing a different meaning. Beautiful!

Guys we used to have this type of songs in our times

Quem veio rever essa obra-prima após o documentário na Netflix? ❤

For children born in the 80s this song means so much. Thank you Michael for teaching us this life lesson.

original dream team right there. i remember this music in the '80s.

There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on Pretending day-by-day That someone, somewhere soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know, love is all we need We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, send them your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving Oh, there's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well let us realize Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and mee We are the world (are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day, so let's start giving (so let's start giving) There is a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me Oh, let me hear you!

There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives

So much more appreciation for this song after watching the Netflix documentary and seeing how tirelessly the artists worked for this song. Well done!🙏🙏🙏♥♥♥

This song is for all humanity. Not just for Ukraine, not just for Russia, but for all of us. Humanity must return to its senses and unite for the better of mankind.

To me, this song is Ray and Stevie . they reached the sky in this song. Greeting from Croatia .

This makes me wish we all had voices to communicate and understand each other and not hands to blow away those who oppose us 😢❤❤we are the world 🎉🎉🎉

Acabo de ver el documental en Netflix, y se me erizó la piel al escuchar de nuevo y ver el video musical de esta obra maestra. Grande Lionel Richie, y ni se diga de Michael Jackson, el más joven de todos ellos, en sus 20s y siendo ya una leyenda, pudo estar de rumba pero prefirió estar ahí y ponerle su alma y corazón en la creación y producción de esta obra musical para causa benéfica. Un genio en todo el sentido de la palabra 👏

I came from Netflix, I cried many times seeing the “movie” specially when Lionel said“ when I return home my family talks about my awards last night, but I just talk and talk about we are the world “ and the part Diana is crying and someone’s ask why and she said “because I don’t want this finish ever”

Netflix 2024❤ thank you for all stars Special for Michael and Lionel Ritchie❤

I miss you Michael... 😢 Still hurt to think you're not here with us

That Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen duet was AMAZING

Steve Perry will always give me chills

So many great wonders🥲 No new singer can compare to the greatness

Who's in 2021 listening to this over again..

An absolute masterpiece sad to think so many of these artists are no longer here 💔 😢

The guy that decided to put Stevie Wonder and Springsteen together deserves a meme award.

One of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded!
