It's absolutely hilarious how Ray Charles just casually took off his headphones and said "Aight" after all that like nothing happened 😂💛 Bless his heart. Wonderful vocals. Definitely one of my favorite parts in the song is his
He knew what happened (not "nothing" as you said) but also felt that it was enough for now. His heart told him to leave it at that at this exact moment. At least thats how it appears to me. :)
Worst??? No. I'm not even a Bob Dylan fan, but seeing how clearly nervous he was here, and how he overcame it, is absolutely beautiful. In a room with such amazing singers, and him with his signature style that didn't fit in with that, and making it work... amazing. It's rare to see such big stars so vulnerable. Quincy and Stevie being so supportive of him. And if you think Bruce's parts are "the worst", well, I don't know what to tell you. No auto-tune, 5 in the morning, off a huge tour... I think you must be accustomed to computerized perfection. These are incredible performances, all of them.
@@fakeslow6891It was so cute and interesting to see Bob like a little kid. “That was awful.” “You can erase that.” “I can do better than that.” And leaning on Stevie for help and support. I thought it was very sweet and very rare to see him like that. The mystery was dropped for a minute. 🥰
I just can't help but feel for Bob Dylan, I mean his hands are shaking and he knows that he's surrounded by some of the world's greatest singers, while he's one of the greatest songwriters.
@@tedbate5014 I mean if you know something about using voice it's obvious that he _can_ sing, his style is just very unique. You can say whatever you want about Dylan's songwriting but he's the only one who's got a fucking nobel for his songs

The part where Stevie plays the piano to help Bob with his part is actually really cool. It’s hard to hear but Stevie sang it to him in Bob’s style so he could hear it and get more comfortable.
There were multiple takes, you doughnut. They took the best ones from each artist and put it together. They were all tired and had no prior rehearsals before this footage. What do you expect?
Yeah rarely is the take on the album the first take(sometimes it is and you hit magic, but not usually). Theres a lot of takes where you flub it or hit the notes right and don't like the actual timbre or enunciation of the words. It's a tricky thing. And even afterwards when you record a bunch of solid takes, finding the one that best fits in with the song and emotion is difficult too. What matters is the end result.
and musicians from very different cultures and backgrounds, at that. some who were taught the right way to sing (there IS a “right” way, the body is an instrument) and others who found their own way to sing! (like Bruce, Bob, and Huey Lewis)
It was very touching watching Bob Dylan recording. He was clearly very nervous and his reliance on stevie to help him was admirable. Very touching watching the camaraderie. All egos were left outside the studio! These were beautiful outtakes rather than "the worst"!
I am not a Bruce Springsteen fan, but he definitely comes across as such a humble and friendly individual. Quite a handsome gentleman he is too. Nice to see these behind the scenes stuff
He actually does not come across that way. He is very arrogant, and has absolutely no reason to be, especially with the gifted artists he shared that room with.
That moment at 17:24 is pure magic. Bob goes for the second verse unexpectedly and Stevie can't absolutely contain it behind him. Absolutely fantastic to look at.
It is beautiful, Stevie knew Dylan wasn't a strong singer, and so he didn't expect that. He was simply thrilled to hear him really get into the music. Wonderful stuff!
When this song came out EVERY single elementary school music teacher was like "YES!!!!!! MY KIDS ARE SINGING THIS" as a single tear rolled down their cheek. I can remember Mrs Simons putting so much into this performance.. I think I was in 3rd grade.
Uh Bruce Springsteen gave me goosebumps 💆🏾♀️... We have to remember that all these artists have totally different styles and voices and it is really hard to somehow put all of them together. I truely love the whole process.
This is a great little window into how hard it can be to punch in a vocal. Everyone is waiting around for you to get it right and you are in the spotlight trying to figure out how to be yourself while adding to the track. On top of that you have the fluffers telling you you’re great when you know the take wasn’t good. It takes nerves of steel to get through all that and sing.
Best comment. Most knowledgeable. This particular song doesn't suit every vocalist. It's not an easy get for everyone (because it is a bit simple). And when you're in a line of greats, the pressure hits a bit harder. No one feels like a God on a day like that.
No actually when recording you’re in the zone, completely emerged in the story you want to bring and concentrating on some technical things or breath placement for example.
He wasnt asking it in the way you interpreted it, it wasnt meant as "are you able to play it", but "will you play it". Its like when you say "can you take the trash out", you arent really asking if the person is able to perform the task but asking them if they will do it for you. He clearly just wanted to hear the melody without all the other vocal tracks. He was trying to find his own voice, i believe he was getting thrown off and probably a bit intimidated by the other singers.
@@TalkingToAWallHow is dextersbeard supposed to understand that? No one can read your mind bro. Go take your trazodone and go to sleep. You sound mentally unhinged.
That’s not ‘the worst’ …. It’s the BEST look behind the scenes… of those artists who have made a career out of creating their own voice… If you close your eyes you will recognize every one of these artists by their tone colour, dynamics, pronunciation… and timing! Respect to all of them… and what a great producer Q is right?! Inspiring
I never like these videos that highlight artists struggling during this recording. Its not their song!! Quincy jones and lionel richie with heavy involvement of michael Jackson made it. Ofc all those other artists struggle to get their song not perfect in the first couple takes. The way it is often portrays is as if the others are ‘not on mikes level’. but while doing that it highlights the vulnerability that the artists show here to actually try and sing somebody elses song for a good cause. And honestly none are doing realllllllly bad. (Except maybe bob dylan but also him is trying super hard to sing someone elses song)
I think ‘the worst’ means by opposite to 'the best of' which is in the final mix. Also meaning that 'the worst' of this record session is not as bad, but good enough.
Its amusing how Bob Dylan kind of trying to find out how Bob Dylan would sound. You see its not about musical talent but about to have style and being unique with a bit of skills.
@wjl2068 What’s wrong with expecting perfection? It’s not like this is a crowd of amateurs incapable of hitting perfect notes and making beautiful music. They’re all artists successful in their own styles. If the producers weren’t pushing for perfection then I’d say something was wrong.
His voice today actually sounds better than it did in 80s. He's obviously done a lot of work with vocal coaches to refine his technique and preserve his pipes.
@@seanm3226 Ridiculous. While I'm sure he does some vocal sweetening in the studio (like every one today), none of the hallmarks of auto tune show up in his recordings, and I've seen him perform solo acoustic at smaller benefits where auto tune wasn't a possibility, and he sounded really good.
I feel like this was actually the very best of it. All the other artists and production team supported and elevated and never criticised. I found it quite moving.
Yeah, if you're a musician or deeply into music this is actually really good content on how these artists function. I didn't see anything "bad" but maybe the artist didn't gel together, but that's expected with such a wide range of styles.
@@austridge31 no I didn't. I'm a HUGE Bob Dylan fan. I've listened to him for countless hours. That's how Dylan sings, I think you just don't know anything about the artists which you speak of..
@@jackelewish1568 What Bob does definitely isn't 'singing'. Lol I was on my way to a gig a few months ago and put Knocking on Heavens door on in the car to have a last minute practice. But instead of Guns n Roses, the sound of a cat being misstreated started coming out of my speakers! Then I realised... it was the original.
Love how Bruce Springsteen humbly blows everyone’s socks right off with his unique tone and power and richness of his voice. Then quietly says “Something like that??”
@@alexandrabrorsson1265 there’s not many singers in this world who can sing like that. Which is why when he said “something like that ?” they picked themselves up off the floor and said “EXACTLY like that!”
The most incredible thing is how the post-production video director, engineers & technicians put the FINAL MUSIC VIDEO together. They actually had to put it all together BACKWARDS!!! That is to say, almost 100% of all music videos are done weeks AFTER the audio recordings are made, mixed & mastered. How the USA FOR AFRICA "FINAL" music video was put together, was by using all the practice and multiple-take vocal sessions, as well as the re-dub sessions (from Charles, Wonder & Ingram) and align it to the final 24-track audio mix-down spools! If you view the ACTUAL 7 minute & 11 second FINAL MUSIC VIDEO, you can see that their lips aren't always, totally 100%, dead-on with the sound. CLUE: If you watch the recording episode with Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper & Kim Carnes, it took about 10 run-throughs for Quincy to get enough takes out of them on the bridge of the piece, in order to collectively "fly" their parts into the 2" Ampex multi-track session reel. Then after ALL the "live" vocals were laid down & the basic tracks mixed, the video director & his highly skilled staff of editors had to "jig-saw puzzle" this coveted music video together. I got a MILLION DOLLARS saying, this was the ONLY WAY the FINAL Music Video had to be done! Let me tell you, Quincy Jones was one heck of a PRODUCTION GENIUS to pull this off. His staff had to have done HOURS & HOURS of pre-production work, to make this happen. ...and that's the way things like this all went down decades ago, young boys & girls! BolsaChicaRadio
I absolutely love how they supported each other without holding back! And each one knew and owned their talent. So refreshing to see the raw dynamics from back then!
Ray was a character and I love it he gave us the world said “alright” and he was done 😂 lol some of my fave shady MJ moments come from the filming of this song too
Obviously it was a huge undertaking, to get all these musicians to each sing a small portion of the song. Looks like they didn't get much advance time, and were probably learning their parts in the studio. Springsteen's vocals are an example of the producers kind of saying "just put a bunch of stuff out, and we'll take what we like". I think this would be a nightmare in the studio for all involved, just totally draining. 99.9% of what you're doing is just watching other people do their part. Studio time isn't fun, it's when pressure goes up, things get tense, conflicts happen - and now apply that to an ensemble and it just multiplies. Dylan definitely seems nervous, probably because he's not a 'big studio production' kind of guy, and he's doing something completely off for him. His interaction with Stevie Wonder is a great look into how musicians work off each other, especially when Stevie starts pushing some of the rhythm to accent the parts that should be hit. Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder working together is insane - Stevie Wonder is such a technician, and Dylan is a brilliant writer, it's crazy to see them working together like that.
There was no advance time, MJ and Stevie rounded them up after the American Music Awards and Madonna and Prince could have been on this but that bailed. Cyndi said she hated the song the second she looked at the sheet music but stayed because it was for a good cause.
@@Chelaxim Off topic, but there's a great moment in a Cyndi Lauper interview on Letterman. He asks her about Blue Angel and her time working as a geisha. Cyndi 'breaks character' and starts talking about, what is clearly a difficult part in her life. Unfortunately, Letterman kinda blows the interview by playing into her 'ditzy' act, which spurs her back into it. Almost like interviewers didn't want her to get too heavy.
As a music producer who also knows people who work in Electric Lady Studios and have worked in Abbey Road, Sunset Sound, and whatnot, STUDIO TIME IS FUN!!! I live for that time.
Everyone herw can sing but this song wasnt everyone's style. They needed help bringing their personal flavor yet blending with so many different vocal generes. They killed it in the end. Each part was iconic. Especially Mike, Cindy, Bruce and Ray.
@@the818hbk he was in key and some of his runs were crazy good! Yes it was kinda messy but id like to see you do even 2% well under the circumstances. This song blows! id be doing crazy runs too just so I wouldn't fall asleep. This material is below literally everyone involved, and yes, that includes Cyndi Lauper.
@@nickh8097 bro. I’d kill this song. I’d do more than 2% as Good. You’re saying it’s trash. Let’s apply your logic. I’d like to hear the number 1 Grammy winning charity song and raise over 100million dollars.
Ray Charles was just something else. God really held him close. That man woke up one morning at the age of seven and opened his eyes but it still remained black. Imagine how terrifying it would be to lose your eyesight suddenly. The terrifying blackness that never goes away. Yet, he pushed through the pain and fear and become one of the most amazing singers on the planet. The difference between him and Stevie Wonder is that Stevie was born blind -- never knew what it was like to see anything. Every day that you wake up and can see and hear the world is a blessing. The universe isn't purposely mean but sometimes people will experience things that will test their limits. It can be devastating and push people to the bring of despair but as we just witnessed, sometimes just pushing onward and forward is a testament to the human condition and how we are so much more than the thing we see or hear or the things we say. God intended mankind to help each other -- when one falls, we all feel the fall so we pick that man or woman back up and help them. That's how it was always meant to be -- so when you meet people who only want to take while pushing others away, remember that humanity can do just as much good as it can evil. Ray Charles -- RIP. Loved your energy and charisma. My father learned so much from you and all that you did for our family. God keep this man forever close to your glory and warmth and lift him far above where suffering cannot reach. I'm just crying looking at you Ray. My father (and I) owe you our lives.
He didn't lose his eyesight suddenly!!! He gradually started to lose his sight 9 months after his brother George died (Ray was 5; his younger brother George was 3)!!!
This isn't the worst of those sessions. Springsteen and Dylan, worked and got their parts. You can also see how various folks help Bruce and Bob get what they need, because they know what those musicians can do. There is no such help coming for Huey Lewis.😂
*Lewis blew Wacko Jacko away in terms of vocal ability. It's somehow become a weird insecure/defensive thing for Wacko Jacko fans to slate Lewis' vocals in the brief clip of the two. Wacko Jacko fans are as freakish as Wacko Jacko himself was. Also, notice how Wacko Jacko bought a child to the recording session? Yeah, I wonder why? One can only imagine the sick things he did to that kid.* 🤮
Man I love Dylan and Stevie rehearsing together. It reminds me of the Video of George and Ringo writing Octopuses Garden together. Nothing better than seeing friends helping each other succeed.
@@SantanKGhey1234 I accept that he is a talent song writer, a great entertainer, and when he sings in his range (which this was not), his voice is passable. But I'm with you, I just get on board with people who try to convince me that he's anywhere near a great singer. That's like calling McDonalds a great hamburger. It get's the job done, but that's about it.
@@kevinmach730 I don’t even think his voice is remotely good. It sounds completely strained and it’s just painful to hear. You are right, though, he is a very good composer and guitarist. And yes, he has stage presence, but I’m sick and tired of people saying he has a good voice.
This is absolute magic! Brilliant musicians, producers and music technicians collaborating and working on their craft. We are getting a look into the precious and memorable time these artists spent together! ❤
This is awesome. Wouldn't say this was the worst. It's awesome seeing them record their respective parts. Edit: Springsteen did wonderful. You could hear the emotion in his voice.
recording vocals like this is almost like taking a huge dump in a public bathroom with people waiting on the other side of the door. it's easy to feel like you're holding everybody up, and they can hear all the terrible noises you're making. i'd rather it just be me in the room who's constantly going back and redoing things and sifting through the crap (no pun intended).
How can it be the worst haha its the best. Ray Charles just having fun. Bruce killing it with his voice and giving it everything and Bob Dylan just doing his Bob Dylan things. He has his own style and either you like it or not. I love it and its sad to see how nervous he is but i love how everyone around him is so supportive and pushes him. Its actually great to see and was fun to watch.
How happy it makes me to know that these recordings exist!🎉 I am still amazed by what they achieved that night! Of course the voice that captivates me the most is Bruce's, I have repeated his recording scene many times, and it still makes my skin tingle ❤ My eternal love for Mr. Springsteen ❤ I found Dylan's scene to be the sweetest, most humble and compassionate. How his lost face changes to a happy one when Steve helps him, how much affection and complicity is reflected!
Yeah this isn’t bad at all. It’s every unique voice bringing themselves to a collective and you hear each one for how they have branded themselves. It’s quite the task to bring it all together
I loved seeing Stevie and Bob's interactions. Kinda made me wish they had worked on other projects together, the camaraderie and willingness to cooperate and help each other was def there
@@alukuhitothe humility to let truly let go of their artist ego and fully do what other producers made and make mistakes while doing so. Especially as most of these artists are successful being super original in their own steengths
Michael just sang the song in tune on the base melody. No embellishments or exaggerated delivery and no crazy improv, and his take couldve easily been the only voice in the entire song
How can Anybody say that these are, “the worst outtakes” of “We are the World?” This is awesome, artists applying their craft, giving their Best performances,… trying different versions of their best!!! Besides the Amazing fact, that these Awesome People did it ALL in less than 24 hours,…. And made billions of dollars for charity 😇😄🥲🙏🏽
I think it was more so they had a physical reference on when they would come in, not so much the lines themselves. It also kinda look choir-ey, a lot of church choirs have their books out constantly.
@@KingNefiiria Bruce Jennersay the only one who always know the lyrics always was Michael he never forget one letter comparate whit others artist Bruce say that
Give thanks for whoever recorded this footage. I agree that it's kinda heartwarming to see how everyone was encouraging Bob Dyland. Also, for me, when this song came out it was the first time I discovered that in America, there were white folks with these big, rich voices! Didn't really have many of those in the UK at the time. Compare this with the British counterpart and you'll get what I mean.
I don’t know why everyone’s ragging on Dylan in the comments. Many of the artists in that room, especially Springsteen, worship the man. Not necessarily for his vocal ability but for his influence on the music scene and the culture. Bob Dylan wrote so many classic songs that have been covered by other musicians that he probably has some kind of Guinness book of records for it. I’m sure the producers and musicians were thrilled to have him there for his clout alone. The man was a gigantic influence on the Beatles after all.
Okay?and he still sounds terrible on here what dose any of what you listed have to do with the fact thaf he’s getting dunked on for his singing in comments not for whatever you’re talking about also you said idk how why everyone is trashing then literally say why
Say what you will about the song and the singers shown here but I just love the camaradery and the compassion and understanding towards each other musical style shown in this clip. Seeing them work with Bob Dylan towards the end of the clip, it warms the heart. As a vocalist that never amounted to anything of importance is nice to see these famous song writers and singers still be nervous and human. Great clip, badly titled imo!
@@rolandluth2098some of them actually wanted to help and usually supported such causes. Springsteen Dylan MJ Stevie were widely known to support others in trouble
Love seeing Bruce work. He could famously be a bit of a tyrant with his own stuff, but here he clearly respects that he's there as a contributor, not as the artist. Quincy later said he was a joy to work with.

Watching Stevie Wonder rehearse with Bob Dylan is what making music and life is all about: support your fellow man ❤
I’m surprised the studio was still standing after Ray finished his take 😭❤️
This comment deserves more likes 😭
If you listen to the record closely you can hear his feet tapping
😂😂😂
Yep!
I am not a Bruce Springsteen fan, but he definitely comes across as such a humble and friendly individual. Quite a handsome gentleman he is too. Nice to see these behind the scenes stuff
He actually does not come across that way. He is very arrogant, and has absolutely no reason to be, especially with the gifted artists he shared that room with.
@@believingisseeing What arrogance? Bruce is about as humble as it gets.
@@believingisseeinghe is extremely sweet there. Are you blind?
He's a prick with no singing voice. He's a song writer.
@@believingisseeingIs it because he’s one of the loudest?
Ray is like that one drunk unc on Christmas Eve 😂
He even just stops like he's had enough n needs another drink
😂
Al Jarreau was even drunker
I’ve never really been into Bruce’s music, but it’s incredible how powerful his voice is here.
Lol what? He sounds like a cartoon bro
It's just too bad that he decided to gargle a bag of #5 nuts&bolts beforehand.
@@NoName-fo7mz That's called soul, just a few have as much
I always wondered why him and Tina, weren't paired, here or elsewhere.

If you can’t love me at worst, then you don’t deserve me at my bes..
Me : 1:54
Off those drugs
That moment at 17:24 is pure magic. Bob goes for the second verse unexpectedly and Stevie can't absolutely contain it behind him. Absolutely fantastic to look at.
It is beautiful, Stevie knew Dylan wasn't a strong singer, and so he didn't expect that. He was simply thrilled to hear him really get into the music. Wonderful stuff!
Even for this murderer’s row of genius musicians, it must be wild to see Bob Dylan do his Bob Dylan thing right up close.
@@Master.Debater😳
Absolutely
The look on the guys face at 12:52 was the best part
When this song came out EVERY single elementary school music teacher was like "YES!!!!!! MY KIDS ARE SINGING THIS" as a single tear rolled down their cheek. I can remember Mrs Simons putting so much into this performance.. I think I was in 3rd grade.
I remember being 4 and visiting my grandma's and my parents teaching my cousin and me this song and asking we perform it for them lol.
Yes! We all had to sing this. 😂
Just makes you realise just how much effort real artists put into their work.
love Bob Dylan silently rewriting the whole song in his head while laying down tracks...lol
Uh Bruce Springsteen gave me goosebumps 💆🏾♀️...
We have to remember that all these artists have totally different styles and voices and it is really hard to somehow put all of them together. I truely love the whole process.
Different egos too!
@@AnAdorableWombat1 They put up a sign, "Check Your Egos at the Door."
Bruce was handsome back then
@@crnkmnkyReally??
You're apparently not difficult to please.
You know you’re successful when Stevie Wonder is your piano guy during practice.
Indeed😂❤
Exactly!
Bruce Springstein was so soft-spoken while taking instruction, then his voice was so gruff, gravel, and powerful while singing.
Bruce's vocals are AMAZING here. He added the key ingredient of GRIT into this song, it emphasizes seriousness without giving up on the melody 👏👏
This is a great little window into how hard it can be to punch in a vocal. Everyone is waiting around for you to get it right and you are in the spotlight trying to figure out how to be yourself while adding to the track. On top of that you have the fluffers telling you you’re great when you know the take wasn’t good. It takes nerves of steel to get through all that and sing.
That's why one should handle vocal recording in solitude. But these kinds of recordings don't allow for it.
Best comment. Most knowledgeable. This particular song doesn't suit every vocalist. It's not an easy get for everyone (because it is a bit simple). And when you're in a line of greats, the pressure hits a bit harder. No one feels like a God on a day like that.
Fluffers lol
Ahhh the fluffers
No actually when recording you’re in the zone, completely emerged in the story you want to bring and concentrating on some technical things or breath placement for example.
Bob Dylan: Stevie can you play it?
Stevie Wonder: *plays song perfectly and beautifully*
He wasnt asking it in the way you interpreted it, it wasnt meant as "are you able to play it", but "will you play it". Its like when you say "can you take the trash out", you arent really asking if the person is able to perform the task but asking them if they will do it for you. He clearly just wanted to hear the melody without all the other vocal tracks. He was trying to find his own voice, i believe he was getting thrown off and probably a bit intimidated by the other singers.
@@dextersbeard3472 do you think I don’t understand that? Or was the comment to highlight How spot on Stevie was? Use context bro.
@@TalkingToAWallHow is dextersbeard supposed to understand that? No one can read your mind bro. Go take your trazodone and go to sleep. You sound mentally unhinged.
@@TalkingToAWallAlso they might be autistic respectfully. You don’t know that do you?
@@TalkingToAWallNot everyone’s brain works like yours. But hey they’ll be your scapegoat asshole.
Without hesitation, Ray Charles is my very favorite musician. He has so much soul. When he sings good things happen.
That’s not ‘the worst’ …. It’s the BEST look behind the scenes… of those artists who have made a career out of creating their own voice… If you close your eyes you will recognize every one of these artists by their tone colour, dynamics, pronunciation… and timing! Respect to all of them… and what a great producer Q is right?! Inspiring
I never like these videos that highlight artists struggling during this recording. Its not their song!! Quincy jones and lionel richie with heavy involvement of michael
Jackson made it. Ofc all those other artists struggle to get their song not perfect in the first couple takes. The way it is often portrays is as if the others are ‘not on mikes level’. but while doing that it highlights the vulnerability that the artists show here to actually try and sing somebody elses song for a good cause. And honestly none are doing realllllllly bad. (Except maybe bob dylan but also him is trying super hard to sing someone elses song)
I think ‘the worst’ means by opposite to 'the best of' which is in the final mix.
Also meaning that 'the worst' of this record session is not as bad, but good enough.
No, they suck
@@igor4305yeah this isnt even struggling, just regular vocal comp stuff

I love Bruce. He actually put a lot of soul alone with Micheal. Ray C was just having fun 😅.
@@SARISS80 Willie Nelson put a lot of soul in there too
Who bruce dickinson..?
Its amusing how Bob Dylan kind of trying to find out how Bob Dylan would sound. You see its not about musical talent but about to have style and being unique with a bit of skills.
Love when Bob refers to Stevie such a great sight. They all did well. The producers were after perfection
It was, actually, just one producer: Quincy Jones.
Bob Dylan has no vibrato and that is probably why it sounds off.
@wjl2068 What’s wrong with expecting perfection? It’s not like this is a crowd of amateurs incapable of hitting perfect notes and making beautiful music. They’re all artists successful in their own styles. If the producers weren’t pushing for perfection then I’d say something was wrong.
Who said anything against chasing perfection?@@karina-oh7826
I now understand why they call Bruce Springsteen The Boss. Damn, what a voice. And so humble as well.
💯 he is such a beautiful man!
I loved watching him trust his voice more and more. It turned out great!
BRUCE CAME FROM A CONCERT THE NIGHT BEFORE & YET HIS PART WAS STILL REMARKABLE & ONE OF MY FAVE !! ❤❤❤
Surprised Bruce Springsteen can even talk these days 😂
His voice today actually sounds better than it did in 80s. He's obviously done a lot of work with vocal coaches to refine his technique and preserve his pipes.
He's always sucked
@@lastguyminn2324 Autotune.
@@seanm3226
Ridiculous. While I'm sure he does some vocal sweetening in the studio (like every one today), none of the hallmarks of auto tune show up in his recordings, and I've seen him perform solo acoustic at smaller benefits where auto tune wasn't a possibility, and he sounded really good.
@seanm3226 If you have nothing of value to contribute then please just don't comment
I feel like this was actually the very best of it. All the other artists and production team supported and elevated and never criticised. I found it quite moving.
Yeah, if you're a musician or deeply into music this is actually really good content on how these artists function. I didn't see anything "bad" but maybe the artist didn't gel together, but that's expected with such a wide range of styles.
@@jackelewish1568Maybe you stopped watching before Bob came on then... 😂
@@austridge31 no I didn't. I'm a HUGE Bob Dylan fan. I've listened to him for countless hours. That's how Dylan sings, I think you just don't know anything about the artists which you speak of..
@@jackelewish1568 What Bob does definitely isn't 'singing'. Lol
I was on my way to a gig a few months ago and put Knocking on Heavens door on in the car to have a last minute practice.
But instead of Guns n Roses, the sound of a cat being misstreated started coming out of my speakers! Then I realised... it was the original.
@@austridge31 cool story. You've listen to knocking on heavens door.
15:10 Just amazing how Stevie Wonder quickly switches from pre-chorus to verse when he realizes Bob Dylan is not going there.
I also noticed that. He's advanced beyond most mortals though.
I think they just knew they were gonna practice that part for a while
You can see how good Quincy and Stevie were when it came to song arranging
Amazing catch. Stevie is on another level.
Love how Bruce Springsteen humbly blows everyone’s socks right off with his unique tone and power and richness of his voice. Then quietly says “Something like that??”
hahaha! right? “Something like that?” “EXACTLY like that"
Richness? It's awful!
@@alexandrabrorsson1265 there’s not many singers in this world who can sing like that. Which is why when he said “something like that ?” they picked themselves up off the floor and said “EXACTLY like that!”

This isn't the worst. This is gold. Especially seeing Michael Jackson doing the James Brown
What you mean by doing the James Brown?
The most incredible thing is how the post-production video director, engineers & technicians put the FINAL MUSIC VIDEO together. They actually had to put it all together BACKWARDS!!!
That is to say, almost 100% of all music videos are done weeks AFTER the audio recordings are made, mixed & mastered. How the USA FOR AFRICA "FINAL" music video was put together, was by using all the practice and multiple-take vocal sessions, as well as the re-dub sessions (from Charles, Wonder & Ingram) and align it to the final 24-track audio mix-down spools! If you view the ACTUAL 7 minute & 11 second FINAL MUSIC VIDEO, you can see that their lips aren't always, totally 100%, dead-on with the sound.
CLUE: If you watch the recording episode with Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper & Kim Carnes, it took about 10 run-throughs for Quincy to get enough takes out of them on the bridge of the piece, in order to collectively "fly" their parts into the 2" Ampex multi-track session reel. Then after ALL the "live" vocals were laid down & the basic tracks mixed, the video director & his highly skilled staff of editors had to "jig-saw puzzle" this coveted music video together. I got a MILLION DOLLARS saying, this was the ONLY WAY the FINAL Music Video had to be done!
Let me tell you, Quincy Jones was one heck of a PRODUCTION GENIUS to pull this off. His staff had to have done HOURS & HOURS of pre-production work, to make this happen.
...and that's the way things like this all went down decades ago, young boys & girls!
BolsaChicaRadio
Well, that’s art.👏
I need Ray Charles energy!! Lmao
Watching dylan and stevie work was dope. Watching his confidence grow and the support around him was awesome.
It's been almost 40 years and this never gets old. Hilarious!!!
Wasn't this 1993-ish? If so, way closer to 30 years. Stop aging us ☺️
Props to the producers and recording engineers, imagine telling a cook to make a dish and you must 30 vastly different ingredients
I absolutely love how they supported each other without holding back!
And each one knew and owned their talent.
So refreshing to see the raw dynamics from back then!
Ray was a character and I love it he gave us the world said “alright” and he was done 😂 lol some of my fave shady MJ moments come from the filming of this song too
Obviously it was a huge undertaking, to get all these musicians to each sing a small portion of the song. Looks like they didn't get much advance time, and were probably learning their parts in the studio. Springsteen's vocals are an example of the producers kind of saying "just put a bunch of stuff out, and we'll take what we like".
I think this would be a nightmare in the studio for all involved, just totally draining. 99.9% of what you're doing is just watching other people do their part. Studio time isn't fun, it's when pressure goes up, things get tense, conflicts happen - and now apply that to an ensemble and it just multiplies.
Dylan definitely seems nervous, probably because he's not a 'big studio production' kind of guy, and he's doing something completely off for him. His interaction with Stevie Wonder is a great look into how musicians work off each other, especially when Stevie starts pushing some of the rhythm to accent the parts that should be hit. Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder working together is insane - Stevie Wonder is such a technician, and Dylan is a brilliant writer, it's crazy to see them working together like that.
There was no advance time, MJ and Stevie rounded them up after the American Music Awards and Madonna and Prince could have been on this but that bailed. Cyndi said she hated the song the second she looked at the sheet music but stayed because it was for a good cause.
@@Chelaxim Off topic, but there's a great moment in a Cyndi Lauper interview on Letterman. He asks her about Blue Angel and her time working as a geisha. Cyndi 'breaks character' and starts talking about, what is clearly a difficult part in her life.
Unfortunately, Letterman kinda blows the interview by playing into her 'ditzy' act, which spurs her back into it. Almost like interviewers didn't want her to get too heavy.
As a music producer who also knows people who work in Electric Lady Studios and have worked in Abbey Road, Sunset Sound, and whatnot, STUDIO TIME IS FUN!!! I live for that time.
@@Jordan-rb28 Well, you're on the OTHER side of where the money is flowing, so yeah, I'd imagine that tends to change perspective.

Absolutely fantastic! This, folks, is how music is made. Not 'worst out takes'....just a fantastic part of the journey of perfecting one's art.
Perfect is not an adjective I'd ever use to describe Bob Dylan.... his singing anyhow.
@austridge31 Like all art, it is very subjective. I grew up on his music.. I get the feel and love it. But not everyone would feel the same.
Everyone herw can sing but this song wasnt everyone's style. They needed help bringing their personal flavor yet blending with so many different vocal generes. They killed it in the end. Each part was iconic. Especially Mike, Cindy, Bruce and Ray.

Ray Charles was just something else. God really held him close. That man woke up one morning at the age of seven and opened his eyes but it still remained black. Imagine how terrifying it would be to lose your eyesight suddenly. The terrifying blackness that never goes away. Yet, he pushed through the pain and fear and become one of the most amazing singers on the planet. The difference between him and Stevie Wonder is that Stevie was born blind -- never knew what it was like to see anything.
Every day that you wake up and can see and hear the world is a blessing. The universe isn't purposely mean but sometimes people will experience things that will test their limits. It can be devastating and push people to the bring of despair but as we just witnessed, sometimes just pushing onward and forward is a testament to the human condition and how we are so much more than the thing we see or hear or the things we say. God intended mankind to help each other -- when one falls, we all feel the fall so we pick that man or woman back up and help them. That's how it was always meant to be -- so when you meet people who only want to take while pushing others away, remember that humanity can do just as much good as it can evil.
Ray Charles -- RIP. Loved your energy and charisma. My father learned so much from you and all that you did for our family. God keep this man forever close to your glory and warmth and lift him far above where suffering cannot reach. I'm just crying looking at you Ray. My father (and I) owe you our lives.
He didn't lose his eyesight suddenly!!! He gradually started to lose his sight 9 months after his brother George died (Ray was 5; his younger brother George was 3)!!!

This is awesome. Wouldn't say this was the worst. It's awesome seeing them record their respective parts.
Edit: Springsteen did wonderful. You could hear the emotion in his voice.
recording vocals like this is almost like taking a huge dump in a public bathroom with people waiting on the other side of the door. it's easy to feel like you're holding everybody up, and they can hear all the terrible noises you're making. i'd rather it just be me in the room who's constantly going back and redoing things and sifting through the crap (no pun intended).

He has his own style and either you like it or not. I love it and its sad to see how nervous he is but i love how everyone around him is so supportive and pushes him. Its actually great to see and was fun to watch.
How happy it makes me to know that these recordings exist!🎉 I am still amazed by what they achieved that night! Of course the voice that captivates me the most is Bruce's, I have repeated his recording scene many times, and it still makes my skin tingle ❤ My eternal love for Mr. Springsteen ❤ I found Dylan's scene to be the sweetest, most humble and compassionate. How his lost face changes to a happy one when Steve helps him, how much affection and complicity is reflected!
Yeah this isn’t bad at all. It’s every unique voice bringing themselves to a collective and you hear each one for how they have branded themselves. It’s quite the task to bring it all together
Bruce at his absolute best. And it's clear how humble he is, when the tape's not rolling. That's the sign of a true gentleman.

Compare this with the British counterpart and you'll get what I mean.
Thank you so much for posting this.
I don’t know why everyone’s ragging on Dylan in the comments. Many of the artists in that room, especially Springsteen, worship the man. Not necessarily for his vocal ability but for his influence on the music scene and the culture. Bob Dylan wrote so many classic songs that have been covered by other musicians that he probably has some kind of Guinness book of records for it. I’m sure the producers and musicians were thrilled to have him there for his clout alone. The man was a gigantic influence on the Beatles after all.
It's like they expected Bob to not sound like Bob Dylan.
It made sense to me. Bob has always been more of a solo singer…not a harmonizer.
Bob Dylan wasn't the best singer, but is one of the best songwriters in music history. But sheez, he was a GREAT addition to this record! 😊
He has more talent in his little finger than all the others combined
Okay?and he still sounds terrible on here what dose any of what you listed have to do with the fact thaf he’s getting dunked on for his singing in comments not for whatever you’re talking about also you said idk how why everyone is trashing then literally say why
