The USA For Africa project began as an idea of a calypso singer **Harry Belafonte** had for0 a concert featuring black musicians. Around December 1984, **Harry Belafonte** brought together **Lionel Richie** and **Ken Kragen**. Ken initiated an idea to **Harry Belafonte** that they could make an impact by Producing an original song and Harry key into Ken's suggestions and Ken brought in a great producer as who helped in the production of the music which took them little time to be published. Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian were the producers of the music.

My Idea of the Song "We are the World"

These are members of USA for Africa that embrace a great song with a unique goal of reaching out to the world about the famine in Ethiopia and how people are dying and of one problems or the other and how important a helping hand would be to them.The message was well passed accros through the unity of these great artist who decided to embrace the idea of performing music in one accord to the world.

Lyrics of we are the world

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
