"We are the world..."

En 1985 hubo un momento en que a un grupo de cantantes estadounidenses se les hablandó el corazón y decidieron reunirse a cantar todos juntos una canción compuesta por Lionel Ritchie y Michael Jackson para ayudar a los niños de Africa. El resultado fue una hermosa canción: "Nosotros somos el mundo" que tuvo su similar británica (Band Aid) que postearé pronto y, como no podíamos ser menos, la versión argentina.
Pero más allá de cualquier interpretación, fue una reunión de lo mejor de la música yankee de ese momento. Para esto se juntaron: Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belafonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Kim Carnes, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Sheila E., Bob Geldof, Hall and Oates, James Ingram, Jackie Jackson, LaToya Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Michael Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Al Jarreau, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Huey Lewis, Kenny Loggins, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson, Jeffry Osborne, Steve Perry, The Pointer Sisters, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick y Stevie Wonder.
Abajo está el video y si quieren catarlo a la par, acá va la letra y quien canta cada verso. Que lo disfruten.
