They had released an extended long playing single that had additional audio of many of the acts voicing Christmas best wishes to those listening to the song. I think there was a documentary BTS video of made of this too. The only American act in this song were members of Kool and the Gang because they were in London at the time. The Canadian charity song is called Tears are Not Enough and the group called themselves Northern Lights; the producer behind it was David Foster.

I of course recognize a lot of the singers in this one but there are a few I don't recognize at all. At least not by their faces. Their a few artists that performed in both Do They Know It's Christmas and We Are The World. An era where artists left their egos at the door and raised hundreds of millions for humanitarian relief.
have you ever heard the song year 2525 from the early 60's sung by zega and evans. it is on UA-cam, it's the black and white video version I think it's a must for you both to see and react to, How did they know in the early 60's about the future events
The singers who performed on the 1984 Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" include: Verses: Paul Young, Boy George, George Michael, Simon Le Bon, and Bono Chorus: Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, David Bowie, Phil Collins, Paul McCartney, Status Quo, Bananarama, and Paul Weller Merry Christmas and Happy New Years !
Yep! Knew most of them. Been a Christmas staple for 40 years. Fun fact: if you thought the girls from Bananarama were looking a bit seedy it’s cos they were. They’d had a big night the night before. We’ve all been there lol. Merry Christmas! ❤️🎅🎄🇦🇺
Ahh BP1, you might be two idiots, but you're OUR two idiots!! Can't beat this classic! Full of some of my favourite artists. I recognised all of them, but forgot one or two names. But that's an age thing 😂😂😂
