We Are The World Part 2 (The Remake) 25 Years Later

25 years later before some of us were born there was a song of peace lead by Quincy Jones and the late great Michael Jackson.  History has repeated itself once again on Monday night (Feb. 1) as over 75 stars gathered to record a contemporary remake of “We Are the World” in Hollywood.  The world premiere of “We Are the World – 25 for Haiti,” along with the accompanying 3-D video, will air during NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday, February 12.

The recording session took place in the same  Fame studio as the original song written by Richie and Michael Jackson, and featured a diverse lineup including Lil Wayne (redoing Bob Dylan’s verse), Kanye West, Jennifer Hudson, Trey Songz, Drake, Barbra Streisand, Toni Braxton, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Pink, Jamie Foxx, T-Pain, Keri Hilson, Brandy, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Nicole Scherzinger, Akon, Tony Bennett, Carlos Santana, and many others.
