40 years ago on July 13th, 1985, rock and pop history was made when an estimated global TV audience of 1.9 billion, and a combined total of over 160,000 fans in attendance at the London and Philadelphia shows watched Live Aid. The show was originally conceived by Bob Geldof following the huge success of Do They Know It's Christmas? with the aim of raising more money for those impacted by the then-ongoing famine in Ethiopia. Joining Sean Defoe to reflect on it all is journalist, Bairbre Power, who attended Live Aid Wembley & Live Aid Promoter, Harvey Goldsmith.

Sunday marks 40 years since Live Aid, the benefit concert organised by Bob Geldof in 1985 following the success of the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?". It is estimated that 150 million pounds has been raised for famine relief since Live Aid – but what other impacts have the concerts had? All to ask Dipo Faloyin author of “Africa is not a country”.

In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer looks at Live Aid, marking 40 years since the historic event first took place on 13th July 1985. As many fans will know, Status Quo had the honour of opening proceedings at Wembley Stadium—an iconic moment that's gone down in rock history.We explore how the idea for Live Aid began with Bob Geldof's reaction to a BBC news report, the creation of Do They Know It's Christmas?, and how Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt were brought in to help broaden the appeal of the Band Aid single. There's also discussion of the technology and ambition behind broadcasting the concerts around the world—an incredible feat for 1985.Of course, the spotlight then turns to Quo's opening set. From the perfect choice of Rockin' All Over the World, to the deep-cut surprise of Don't Waste My Time—we explore how their three-song set has been remembered, edited (and in some ways, forgotten) in the years since. We also touch on how Rossi engaged the crowd in a way that predated Queen's legendary set hours later.Beyond Quo, we look at the rest of the line-up, the Philadelphia concert, and invite you to share your memories. Were you there? Did you watch it on TV? Did a particular act leave a lasting impression?The Quo-Cast is a podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the legendary British rock band Status Quo.

Live Aid may have been the cultural event for Gen X'ers just as Woodstock was for their baby boomer parents. Bob Geldof had led a group of British pop artists to the charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? That inspired US artists to create We Are The World. Both singles were to aid millions of starving people in Africa who were suffering from severe drought and broken politics. The huge success of the songs lead Geldof to be even more ambitious in coordinating a dual continent live concert with the biggest stars of the day (and with some legends as well) to raise money for Africa. On July 13, 1985 artists gathered in Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and MTV broadcast 15 hours of programming which we ate up! Though a million things could have gone wrong, the day was an amazing event that raised money and awareness for a dire situation and brought together the most incredible lineup of talent. This is the first of 3 parts commemorating this incredible event. Here we'll breakdown how the singles came together, who came, who didn't, controversies and legacy. We name all the acts on both coasts before breaking down the UK performances before the US feed was piped into the UK. Part 2 will have the primetime acts from the UK and the US and we discuss the now infamous Led Zeppelin performance. But we're really excited about Part 3 which will feature interviews from 2 folks who were in Philadelphia that day - one of whom was an MTV VJ!! Viewed by 1.5 billion people around the world, the MTV broadcast in the US is so memorable for The Wolf and Action Jackson, we couldn't wait to reminisce about it. Talking to one of the original MTV VJs was a dream come true! But that's Part 3, for now listen to our excitement building up to the event, how we snuck off to watch it and the acts stood out early in the broadcast.

There comes a time when the call must be heeded to revisit one of the most significant moments in Gen X pop culture history: the star-studded 'check your ego at the door' collective recording known as "We Are The World," which took place following the American Music Awards on the evening of January 28, 1985. (A quick tip of the cap to the captivating Netflix documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, which reignited a desire to revisit this historical event). On this episode of the pod, guest contributor and fellow Gen Xer Phil Singh joins Rick to watch and comment in real-time on the 7-minute video for "We Are The World," rehashing tidbits learned about the night from the Netflix doc as well as from dozens of other interviews and videos about the inspiration behind, gathering and recording of, and video for the song that followed on the heels of the U.K.'s own star-studded "Do They Know It's Christmas" charity single. Part fashion police, part amateur music critics, Rick and Phil inject perspective, thoughts, and humor into what they see unfold in the "We Are The World" video, from the outfits to the vocal pairings to who brought their A-game and cared about the effort to who came off as less than stellar. They also discuss how the song has aged and how it stands up today. The magnitude of "We Are The World" for us Gen X'ers cannot be overstated. The star power of the artists in the room, many of whom were still climbing to the peak of their icon status, and the realization that putting together something like this for one night only and making the impact it made could never quite be duplicated made this retrospective a must to revisit through a new lens 40 years later.

"If I Was" Midge Ure is a one-man highlight machine. The Scottish born Ivor Novello Award winning musician was in the pop band Silk, the post-punk outfit Rich Kids with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, the synth band Visage, the rock band Think Lizzy and the new wave band Ultravox. If you were wondering if Ure has range, the answer is: yes. Aside from co-writing Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas with Bob Geldof, helping organize the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute, being the musical director of the Prince's Trust concerts, organizing Live 8 concerts, being appointed the Order of The British Empire, receiving five honorary Doctor of Arts degrees by esteemed universities, and being an Ambassador for Save the Children, Ure has also had a successful solo career, releasing close to ten marvelous albums. Not only that, but he's an author, he's been on Celebrity Master Chef and he turned down an invitation to be in the Sex Pistols. His latest effort is Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a show that was recorded back in April of 2023 and it's just wonderful. In recent years, Ure along with keyboardist Charlie Round-Turner have figured out how to play songs that have a lot of sonic architecture and replicate them in two-man band form. The results are rich and deeply satisfying and Ure will be hitting the road in this Band In A Box format in May for a North American tour. But in the meantime, he's stopped by the podcast for a chat. http://www.midgeure.co.uk www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com) IG: @emberspodcast Bluesky: @emberspodcast

What's up, dudes? Remember Band Aid and its mega-hit “Do They Know It's Christmas?” It spun off countless relief efforts, including Carol Aid 1985. Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas introduced me to this concert, and he's here to talk about its MTV and Music Box broadcast!Carol Aid was a famine relief concert held at the club Heaven in London. MTV and Music Box aired a cut down version, leaving out several acts. In fact, the likes of Magnum, Captain Sensible, and Miquel Brown (to name a few) were cut for time. It's quite unbelievable.Cliff Richard kicked off the broadcast version with “Another Christmas Day,” while John Parr sang “Once in Royal David's City.” Meanwhile, the Fixx pressed for donations and sang “Peace On Earth,” a hidden track from their following album. Subsequently, the event ended with the entire roster singing “Do They Know It's Christmas?” rather heartily.Chris De Burgh? Check. Anita Harris? She was there. Toto Coelo and the Flying Pickets? Got them too, though we have no idea what they sang. So grab your oversized checks, put on your red beret, and jam out to “Carols from Heaven” and Carol Aid 1985!Sounds of ChristmasFB: @SOCMusicTwitter: @SOCMusicIG: @socmusicGive us a buzz!

Hour 1 Jerry is joined by Willie Colon for this Christmas Eve show and Willie says Jerry's Grinch shirt is very on-brand. The NFC North has three of the best teams in football and Jerry is ready for lesser teams who win worse divisions to stop being rewarded over better teams who don't win stronger divisions. Willie thinks the Commanders are a team to watch out for in the playoffs. Willie is happy that a beleaguered fanbase now has their guy in Jayden Daniels. Jerry says watching good teams is a reminder of how far away the Giants and Jets are. The guys discuss the Jets issues and Willie says the team has too much talent to be as bad as they are and many problems that go beyond Aaron Rodgers. CLo is here for his first update of the day but first we learn Willie is not a big Christmas guy. CLo says because of work he is not able to celebrate as much as he would like to. Willie's wife told him they aren't doing gifts this year but something is telling him to have one ready to give. The Knicks beat the Raptors last night and Jerry says the Knicks feel like the Yankees - they're fine, let's check in on them in the playoffs. Willie is loving the Knicks and Jerry finds himself liking them even as a Nets fan. The Packers easily handled the Saints on Monday Night Football. Aaron Rodgers joked about being released by a teenager on The Pat McAfee Show. The Devils blew the Rangers out. In the final segment of the hour, callers share gift ideas for Willie and Jerry expands on his love of Walgreens. Willie thinks Jerry is an enigma. Hour 2 Willie had an experience with spicy food over the weekend that gave him a tough time all the way through his Jets pre and postgame duties. Willie thinks Brian Daboll can be the right coach for the Giants if they fix the offensive line. CLo returns for an update and begins with the Knicks big win. Jerry says it's a good sign that the Knicks can win when Jalen Brunson has a bad night shooting. The Knicks are an offense-first team now. Willie wants to see Thibs use the bench more. Joel Embiid got ejected and made contact with a female ref. Aaron Rodgers said he would take a pay cut next year. Willie says Jets fans have to prepare themselves for Rodgers coming back next season. The Rangers and Islanders had awful games heading into Christmas break. In the final segment of the hour, we all discuss favorite and least favorite Christmas songs, movies and gifts. Hour 3 During the break we learned Willie has never heard the song “Do They Know It's Christmas” by Band-Aid. Jerry knew the song but had never paid close attention to the lyrics. Jerry explains why he liked the Aaron Rodgers documentary and now has a more favorable view of Rodgers. Jerry's endorsement made Willie want to watch the documentary. Willie originally bought into Rodgers saving the Jets, got worn down, but is now open to turning his opinion back in favor of the QB on and off the field. CLo returns for an update and begins with the Knicks blowout win. Michael Penix Jr. was impressive in his NFL debut. Aaron Rodgers said he'd be willing to mentor a young QB in 2025. Willie says the Jets next play caller could be as important as the head coach. Jerry thinks they need someone with a strong personality and experience. Willie didn't like how much attention the Jets gave the media when he came to the team in 2013. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry brings back “What Would Willie Do?” Hour 4 Former NFL RB Merril Hoge calls in to discuss all things NFL, including the Vikings win over the Seahawks on Sunday that he broadcasted.

Stuart Bruce in conversation with David Eastaugh Stuart Robert Bruce is an English recording engineer. He was the engineer for the recording of the Band Aid's charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" on 25 November 1984. Bruce started his career at Trevor Horn's Sarm West Studios. When Horn offered Bob Geldof and Midge Ure the studio free of charge for 24 hours to record the charity single, but was unavailable to produce it, Bruce was approached to engineer and mix what became one of the biggest selling singles ever. With many of the most famous artists of the time participating, and seven film crews in attendance, he worked straight through that day and night. The reputation Bruce gained of being able to get a track down in difficult circumstances later led to him being chosen to engineer the Guitar Trio album by Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucía and John McLaughlin.

John Maytham is joined by Fuse ODG, who addresses his critique of Do They Know It's Christmas?, the Band Aid charity single marking its 40th anniversary. The British-Ghanaian musician highlights the song's reductionist portrayal of Africa, arguing that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes by depicting the continent as defined solely by famine and poverty, overshadowing its cultural richness and diversity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just before Christmas 1984, Harry Belafonte wanted US artists (and especially black artists) to create a charity album to benefit starving people in Africa as the Do They Know It's Christmas single by the days most popular UK bands was a huge success. He teamed up with manager to the stars Ken Kragen to put together the team that would write and record the lead single. Immediately, Ken enlisted his client, Lionel Richie, to write the song. Lionel and Ken knew they'd need all-star producer Quincy Jones to put it all together. Quincy thought it would be a good idea to get the biggest pop star in the world, Michael Jackson, involved and things snowballed from there as Ken brought on legends like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and artists that were popular at the time like Billy Joel, Kim Carnes, Cindy Lauper, Huey Lewis and more. But how would they get all that talent in one room at one time? Ken devised the idea that so many would be in LA for the American Music Awards on January 28, 1985 so that would be the ideal time. But that was 5 weeks away!!! So Ken went about finding the venue and Lionel and Michael worked on the song. It was all kept very hush hush and even the artists didn't know where they were going after the AMAs until they were on the way. And to make the night even more stressful for Lionel, he was hosting the AMAs and was performing twice (not to mention collecting 6 awards that night). The documentary was a fascinating glimpse into one special night where all egos were put aside in order to record a special song for a worthy cause.

Today's batch smells like the reality of "mass deportations" from Omaha, OPS kids missing a lot of school ("I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob"), the long overdue "Do They Know It's Christmas" rant you never knew we needed, and much, much more!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Grammy® Honoree, Hollywood Walk of FameLet's Celebrate 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame IHonoree Robert " Kool" Bell & Kool & The Gang! Robert's NEW Brand is.  La Kool. lKool had always envisioned having his own brand out of Europe. For many years, he sought out Grand Cru Vineyards from owners that have been selling for generations and decided to work with Paul Berthelot, a Multi-Vintage Grand Cru Producer since 1884. Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969, after performing for five years under various band titles, has influenced the music of three generations and the band has become true recording industry legends. Thanks to iconic songs like Celebration, Cherish, Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness and Open Sesame, they've earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albumsIn 1969, Kool & the Gang released their self-titled debut album/ It was the introduction to a theme, music is the message, that Kool & the Gang stands by today. The instrumental album was an expression of their deep love of music. It was also an introduction to their signature sound and the fierce horn arrangements created by Khalis, Dee Tee, and Spike. Their debut album spawned their first Billboard R&B charted single Kool & the Gang and later Let the Music Take Your Mind. In 1970, their audacious sophomore set Live at the Sex Machine peaked at #6 on Billboard's R&B chart and yielded three hit singles: Funky Man, Who's Gonna Take the Weight, and I Want to Take You Higher. Next came The Best Of Kool & the Gang Featuring The Penguin, Kool & the Gang Live at PJ'S, Music Is The Message, and Good Times, all of which helped solidify a sound that wowed not only fans but such contemporaries as James Brown and Nina Simone.e 80's would see them dominate the mainstream, starting with the double platinum-selling album Celebrate (driven by the international monster hit Celebration, which spent six weeks atop the R&B chart and became a #1 Pop single). Celebration, which played as the American hostages returned from Iran, remains de rigueur at joyous occasions worldwide. The smashes Get Down On It, Take My Heart, Let's Go Dancing, Joanna, Tonight, Misled, the #1 R&B, #2 Pop giant Cherish and the #1 R&B anthem Fresh (these last three from the multi- platinum LP Emergency) solidified the group's international stardom. Kool & the Gang landed global commercial endorsements, supported countless charitable causes and were the only American group to participate in Band Aid's 1984 Do They Know It's Christmas project for famine victims in Africa. With the explosion of hip-hop in the 90's, Kool & the Gang's incredible catalog of grooves made them DJ favorites. They were second only to R&B icon James Brown as sources of rap music samples. Today, the group enjoys global fame and recognition and a following that spans generations due in part to the groups widely sampled catalogue.© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!2024 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
