We Are The World For Haiti

As most of you may already have seen there has been a remake of the We Are The World song as support for Haiti. The remake gathered more than 80 of today's biggest stars. None of the singers of the original song were invited for the new one, which was recorded at the same studio as the original. Quincy Jones ("creator"of originall) and Lionel Richie ( co-writer with Michael Jackson) were also present in this great event.

I think its really great how all these great artists came together to do something that may seem simple, but that means SO MUCH. I am totally for this kind of "charity/fund raisers" that involves so many. Gathering so many great musicians to sing one song calls much more attention, and is so meaningful that it really makes people want to help and remember what is going on in the world.

Here is the video of the remake and a list of the main artists who had a solo in this event.
