    Wow!!!! You two idiots should NOT be on air or even breathing air! You're trying to critique artists and you have no idea of any. Many of these are still making top 10 music today. My 25 yo son knows a majority of these. You call Diana Ross Janet Jackson, had no idea whom Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder was, look stupid when Al Jarreau, Bruce, Bill J, Tina T, Steve Perry, James Ingram, Dionne, Willie etc. Stay off the air because you two are an embarrassment.

      That comment is kinda ironic since im born way before the song came out and I didnt know who none of those three were. They arent legendary where I come from but the obvious ones like mj, stevie, lionel even and ray charles we knew. I ironically come from africa so that makes it kinda funny, but Im pretty sure billy joel for example is not known by name here but its another thing if you play their songs. So in my opinion legend to me is people that stand test of time and is widely recognized and those you mentioned may be legends to you but to me they are not. For example I grew up without internet and a tv and yet people in my country in east africa litterly dressed up like mj after the thriller album and even poor people like me living in the desert knew who he was and that to me is legendary c: I feel like mj needs his own category, if people like me with no tv or internet growing up poor in africa changed our entire fashion sense and music taste for one person XD

Not saying no one knew her but im saying by name from their songs was not easy if you didnt have a tv while people like michael was on another lvl and is probably the most knownartist worldwide in history and I just cant compare tina and diana to michael sorry.

Other notables, you guys liked the voice of Kenny Rogers more towards the beginning. Cyndi Lauper is the one with the two toned hair. Tina Turner and Diana Ross were already mentioned in comments. There were so many and now all of the names are escaping me. Either way, great reaction. Darn the camera for not recording it all!

      Massive, widespread drought left huge parts of the continent starving and literally dying of thirst. People were walking hundreds of miles to find water, food, and medical care.
      It has happened since then, but the 80s were a time of worldwide attention on human suffering and attempts to achieve world peace. It was about seven years post-Vietnam War, the veterans were still re-assimilating into society and learning to deal with what we would now call PTSD, the hippies were growing into Boomers, and many efforts were made to get people to come together. This was maybe the best and most successful endeavor.

    You guys just made me realize how friggin old I am!! This video was hyped for a good while before it played on MTV ( a new TV format that only played music videos 24/7). Everyone in the country was tuned in for the debut of this epic event. Remember cable TV was still new and there still wasn't that much to watch. No internet. No smart phone. Written by MJ and Lionel this was to raise money for a huge famine that was starving people to death in Africa. It was a big success. I believe a version of this was done in England as well. Anyway, what you are witnessing is the greatest group of SUPERSTARS ever assembled for one cause. I can't imagine a gathering like this ever again.The great Quincy Jones directing. This was played all day long every day for weeks. I watched it recently and got chills. You would enjoy doing a little research on this video. In that room was probably, all total, about 500 hit songs.

      All of those songs were huge hits beyond the United States and all those artists had long successful careers. The 80s for all of the artists that participated for USA for Africa were in the prime of their careers. Imagine most of those artists in the room were the level of success as Justin Timberlake or Taylor Swift of today. You can't find super groups or artists from the 70's or 80's in this day and age any longer. Maybe only a few musical acts like Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and BTS have that worldwide success in the present era over an extended period of time.

    You think it was a good cast?😁 It had to be.

    The one you thought was Whitney Houston was actually Tina Turner. The one you thought was Janet Jackson was Diana Ross!!! Janet wasn't even popular yet. Actually, neither was Whitney. Whitney didn't hit the top 40 for the first time until June 1985, after this song had already hit #1. :)

      True but it's not their fault really. The Western World stopped being nostalgic obsessed in the late 90s. Boomers and especially X'ers grew up with nostalgia everywhere we turned. Just living was a history lesson. That's why most 70s born people know more about the 40s, 50s, & 60s than most 90s born people even know about the 90s. I'm seeing this more and more all the time.

    Y'all really are babies lol. Not at y'all thinking the legendary Tina Turner was Whitney Houston and the Queen Diana Ross was Janet Jackson! Oh gosh. Btw MJ and Diana Ross starred in a musical version of the Wizard of Oz with an ALL Black cast called The Wiz - it's iconic and it's a must check out if you're an MJ fan (he was very young in it)! You also missed Cyndi Lauper (girl with the blonde and orange hair - of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun fame). And you recognised Willie but not Bruce Springsteen - he was the one going back-and-forth with Stevie Wonder (you recognised Bruce later and Allen was right about Stevie!). This was an amazing ensemble song though with the some of the greatest voices of all time - including Dionne Warwick, Ray Charles, Hall and Oates, Huey Lewis & the News, Kenny Rogers, Paul Simon, Kenny Loggins (the guy who sang the iconic Footloose) and more! Much love guys!

    Ok gentlemen, U.S.A. for Africa was created to help those in the countries of Africa who at the time were basically starving to death. One of them was Ethopia, I would have to say they were the worst off.
    Now in the video, these were the singers in order of appearance.
    1. Lionel Ritche (co writer)
    2. Stevie Wonder
    3. Paul Simon
    4. Kenny Rodgers
    5. James Ingram
    6. Tina Turner (not Whitney)
    7. Billy Joel
    8. Michael Jackson (co writer)
    9. Diana Ross (not Janet)
    10. Dionne Warwick (Whitney's Aunt)
    11. Willie Nelson
    12. Al Jarreau
    13. Bruce Springsteen
    14. Kenny Logging
    15. Steve Perry
    16. Darrell Hall
    17. Huey Lewis
    18. Cyndi Lauper
    19. Kim Carnes
    20. Bob Dillon
    21. Ray Charles
    And the gentlemen that was conducting was Quincy Jones.
    Now during the chorus parts otherz had joined them, like the Pointer Sisters, Shelia E. The rest of the Jackson 5. Jon Oats, who was the singing partner to Darrell Hall, Hall & Oats. But the two the confused all of us were actually actors before they were singers. And that would be Dan Aykroyd and Sydney Poitier.
    One last thing, to this day, this version is still earning money for USA for Africa. Oh and this was in response to Bob Geldoff and his song "Do they know it Christmas Time." The British came out with a song first for Africa. Then us. So....

    The man standing by Harry Belafonte is comic actor Dan Ackroyd. Dan was one of the early SNL cast members. And an awesome musician as well. He was half of SNL music/comedy duo the Blues Brothers with John Belushi. And in the middle of it all is 60's voice of his generation and counter-culture icon, Bob Dylan. FYI - his son Jakob Dylan fronted 90's singing sensation group The Wallflowers. Michael Jackson wrote this song and it was produced by Quincy Jones. Like others in the day, I counted down the days to watch it's debut on MTV or VH1. I don't remember which one. The pairing of Stevie Wonder & Bruce Springsteen was genius. Their voices contrasted beautifully.

Stevie Wonder Tina Turner Cyndi lauper Lee greenwood, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson Janet Jackson LaToya Jackson Diana Ross Deonne Warwick, the boss who is Bruce Springsteen and so many more.
