The release of Netflix documentary The Greatest Night In Pop has once again cast the spotlight on the making of We Are The World, the 1985 charity single that was recorded by a galaxy of stars under the name USA for Africa.
As previously discussed, one of the bigger mysteries is why Prince, who is known to have been in Los Angeles for the American Music Awards on the night that the song was recorded at A&M Recording Studios in Hollywood, didn’t appear on the record, and now Tom Bahler, the man who Quincy Jones tasked with arranging the vocals on the record, has posited his theory.
