A mix of Top 40 hits from April 1985! Artists include Eric Clapton, John Fogerty, Murray Head, Chicago, Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Glenn Frey and more! (R)

Los Angeles, 20 janvier 1985, huit jours avant que n'ait lieu le plus grand événement jamais organisé dans l'histoire de la musique populaire américaine, ça y est ! Lionel Richie et Michael Jackson ont terminé la chanson que 44 énormes stars doivent enregistrer ensemble en studio. Reste le plus compliqué à organiser. Pas de mail à l'époque, encore moins de WhatsApp, il faut faire parvenir une cassette à tout le monde sans qu'il n'y ait de fuite dans la presse. Mais avant ça, enregistrer une maquette pour que chacun ait répété en arrivant. C'est vrai, pas question de commencer le truc sur place dans une ambiance et une cohue qui s'annoncent proches des Fêtes de Wallonie ou du carnaval de Binche. Nous sommes alors Jour J-5, Quincy Jones est à la table de mixage, un téléphone qui n'arrête pas de sonner, posé juste à côté de lui. Quoi ? Tu rigoles ? Amène-toi, Michael et Lionel sont là. Les musiciens sont prêts, Michael et Lionel devant les micros et c'est parti, tout le monde se lance. On s'arrête, évidemment pour des ajustements, Michael préfèrerait ainsi tel mot plutôt qu'un tel car il sonnera mieux, Quincy est d'accord, quand quelqu'un entre dans le studio. C'est Stevie Wonder, enfin ! C'était lui au téléphone, tout à l'heure. Mais ça fait près d'un mois qu'on l'a appelé, qu'il a dit oui et qu'on ne l'a jamais vu. Bon, on s'y met ?Mais euh, on ne t'a rien dit ? C'est fait, Michael et moi l'avons écrite. Là, on fait la maquette pour l'envoyer à tout le monde.Ah bon ? Un moment suspendu. A-t-on tenu Stevie informé ou est-ce lui qui a oublié, ou bien tente-t-il de donner le change car il sait très bien qu'il a laissé tout le monde dans le vent pendant des semaines.Très bien ! dit-il. On fait la démo alors ?Le croirez-vous ? Il n'y a pas internet en 1985 mais trois jours plus tard, tous, de New York à San Francisco ont reçu la cassette et la partition. Cinquante exactement qui ont transité via un manager, un agent ou atterri directement dans les mains des artistes. Huey Lewis, déjà quelques tubes à son actif aux USA, même si son Power of Love ne sortira qu'en juin, découvre la chanson sur le lecteur cassette de son autoradio en sillonnant les rues de San Francisco et Bruce Springsteen sur sa tournée américaine qui se termine la veille de l'enregistrement. C'est sûr que ça va faire un tube, alors, ils seront bien là le jour J. Format atypique de plus de six minutes mais succès prodigieux, il y aura entre-temps une session d'enregistrement qui vaut son pesant de Story mais faute de temps, je vous la raconterai, dans cinq saisons, tenez, pour les 45 ans ! Car c'est sûr qu'elle tournera encore aussi souvent sur notre antenne. Faut-il le souligner, un tel panel d'artistes d'exception, ça n'arrive qu'une fois.

Il y a quarante ans exactement que sortait une chanson qui non seulement reste un des cinq singles les plus vendus de tous les temps mais a été l'élément déclencheur du plus prestigieux festival de tous les temps … Mais autant on a l'impression que tous les artistes se connaissent, dînent ensemble tous les midis, autant on ignore à quel point il n'est pas évident de les réunir le même jour et au même endroit. Et plus ils sont célèbres, plus c'est compliqué. Je dirais même que plus ils sont américains, plus c'est compliqué. Pour faire travailler ensemble Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder et Michael Jackson, cela a été très facile. Il suffit déjà d'oublier Stevie Wonder, l'homme le plus sympa mais le plus injoignable du showbiz dans les années 80. Michael et Lionel sont amis depuis leurs débuts. Alors ils travaillent chez Michael, enfin, chez ses parents. Mais de manière un peu trop cool tant il est vrai qu'ils sont les deux artistes américains à vendre le plus de disques en ce moment.Mais les gars, vous vous rendez compte qu'on enregistre la semaine prochaine ? dit Quincy Jones qui a fait le déplacement.Quoi ?Oui, juste après la cérémonie des American Music Awards. Tout le monde sera là et on n'aura qu'une nuit !Cérémonie présentée, à la télé, en direct, par Lionel Richie. Imaginez le truc. Et donc la pression sur les épaules de Lionel et Michael. Car là, c'est le stress amplifié par la crainte que Quincy ne se retire du projet, faute de chanson valable. Alors, Lionel se met au piano et commence à jouer, il cherche, essaie des trucs et tout à coup Michael s'écrie : oui, c'est ça ! Comme par magie, ils tiennent le refrain et d'après les souvenirs de Lionel, c'est Michael qui trouve le We are the world. Quant au studio, l'équipe de Kregan a réservé le A&M, celui de la célèbre firme de disques, pour sa situation et surtout sa qualité, mais attention ! Tout doit rester secret, ce qui, étant donné le nombre de personnes impliquées, est un casse-tête. Mais l'enjeu est énorme car le soir même, vu le nombre de journalistes présents en ville et la notoriété des artistes, si un Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson ou Prince se pointe et voit la foule devant la porte, ils passeront leur chemin et on pourra les oublier. Car non, il n'y a pas de contrat, c'est du caritatif, du bénévolat, et oui, jusqu'à la dernière minute, il n'y aura aucune garantie que ces stars seront bien là. Même Prince. Surtout Prince. Celui que tout le monde veut en 1985, Purple Rain oblige.

Début 1985, si on avait eu idée de ce qui se tramait à Los Angeles, on aurait été bien enthousiasmé par le projet ahurissant qui se montait. D'une part, dans la grande maison des Jackson, alors que le chimpanzé de Michael faisait des facéties, Lionel Richie tentait de trouver une mélodie sur le piano. Un truc pas simple entre le mainate qui imitait l'aboiement d'un chien et celui des parents de Michael qui lui répondait aussi sec. Et d'autre part, dans les bureaux de Ken Kragen, l'agent de Lionel Richie, tout le personnel était à la manœuvre pour réunir l'équipe de stars qui allait interpréter leur chanson, comme sur le disque des Britanniques qui n'arrêtait pas d'engranger les records … Mais quand tout Londres, de Phil Collins à Bono, en passant par Spandau Ballet et Sting, était venu en studio, tranquille, le seul dimanche de libre, réunir toutes ces stars américaines étaient un vrai casse-tête. Pour les convaincre, il suffisait de prononcer les noms de Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie et Stevie Wonder, auxquels Kragen avait ajouté le nom d'un autre de ses poulains, alors au sommet : Kenny Rogers. Et à une époque où le portable n'existe pas, il faut franchir le barrage des agents, conjoints et secrétaires à l'autre bout de la ligne fixe. Et puis, ces artistes ont la bougeotte : personne n'est au même endroit, à la même date. C'est infernal ! C'est alors que passe la pub télé annonçant la remise prochaine des American Music Awards et le casting de ceux qui y participeront : Prince, Madonna, Hall & Oates, Cyndi Lauper et Diana Ross. Ils seront donc présents à Los Angeles, tous frais payés. Alors il faut contacter le producteur de l'émission pour qu'il soit de la partie. Chose faite, il n'y a plus qu'à travailler sur ceux qui ne seront pas présents. Et quand ils réussissent à convaincre Bruce Springsteen au top avec Born in the USA puis Bob Dylan, qui est n'est plus au top mais c'est une légende, il n'y a désormais plus aucun souci de casting.Le dernier souci est en fait, le plus gros, celui sur lequel tout repose : la chanson elle-même. Car on ne compte pas les grandes réunions de stars qui ont fait flop parce que le titre qu'ils ont interprété n'était pas terrible. Et bien, dix jours avant la date fatidique, ils ne sont encore nulle part. C'est vrai que Lionel Richie, avec sa tournée solo, et Michael Jackson, son Thriller, plus le nouvel album et la tournée des Jacksons tout juste derrière, avant son prochain album, ne manquent pas de travail. Alors chaque fois qu'ils se voient, ils ne sentent pas vraiment la nécessité de boucler la chanson. On règlera ça la prochaine fois. Sauf qu'aujourd'hui, un appel de Ken Kragen les ramène à la réalité : hé les gars, ce n'est pas seulement votre chanson, on a aussi Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Ray Charles et Tina Turner.

A deux jours de la Noël 1984, a lieu la conversation téléphonique qui enclenche définitivement le moment historique que s'apprête à vivre une décennie pourtant exceptionnellement créative et enthousiasmante. En effet, Lionel Richie, nouvelle star de la pop mondiale, est en discussion avec son agent Ken Kragen lui expliquant qu'en Europe, des rockers blancs sont en train de réaliser une vente de disques historique pour sauver des Africains de la famine. Et que le chanteur Harry Belafonte est venu lui dire que la communauté afro américaine ne peut pas être en reste. Alors, il a besoin de lui, et de sa notoriété. Lionel Richie va avoir besoin du plus grand des producteurs pour un challenge pareil car il s'agit non seulement de convaincre tout le pays d'acheter le disque mais aussi de tenir la comparaison avec la chanson des Britanniques. Et en 1984, le plus grand des grands se nomme Quincy Jones.Et donc, le lendemain soir, Lionel Richie vit la nuit, alors qu'ils roulent dans la limousine de Lionel, son manager propose d'utiliser son téléphone, autant vous dire que c'est une rareté à l'époque, pour appeler son ami Stevie Wonder. La raison est simple : pour écrire la chanson, Lionel Richie ne va disposer que de très peu de temps car il doit préparer la présentation des American Music Awards et surtout, sa première tournée en solo. Un enjeu considérable quand on sait le nombre de disques qu'il vend désormais. Stevie ne répond pas. Ils vont essayer de le joindre toute la nuit sans résultat mais ne s'en étonnent pas, Stevie se manage seul et met souvent des plombes avant de rappeler. McCartney l'a attendu vingt jours en studio avant d'enregistrer Ebony & Ivory. Ah ? Ça sonne. Ce doit être lui ! Mais non, c'est Quincy Jones pour annoncer qu'il voit Michael Jackson le lendemain et qu'il va lui en parler.Lionel et Michael se connaissent depuis longtemps, depuis leurs débuts. Lionel a certes presque dix ans de plus que Michael mais le succès des Jackson Five, un groupe de gamins, avait été immédiat, aussi les Commodores, le groupe dont Lionel était le saxophoniste et second soliste, avait assuré la première partie de leur tournée au début des années 70. Et c'est vrai que les années d'adolescence sont importantes, fondatrices. Si je vous dis que la première destination du jeune Michael quand il a appris à conduire, a été de se rendre chez Lionel, vous avez compris les liens entre les deux hommes, en cette fin d'année 1984. Michael est alors au sommet avec les ventes démesurées de Thriller, et en plus de son duo avec McCartney, il participe à un single qui vient d'entrer dans les charts. Nouveau succès, à nouveau un truc à frissons mais bon, il va participer au projet de Lionel et Quincy, bien sûr. Et comme Stevie Wonder n'a toujours pas rappelé malgré des messages sur son répondeur, il propose à Lionel de commencer à écrire la chanson sans lui.

Nous sommes à la veille du réveillon de Noël 1984. L'année a été fabuleuse, spécialement à Los Angeles où grâce au succès historique d'une incroyable brochette d'artistes tels que Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bryan Adams ou Metallica, l'industrie du disque basée dans cette ville n'a jamais autant rapporté. Car oui, à Hollywood, Los Angeles, il y a désormais une autre industrie que le cinéma et la télé à faire recette : la musique. Ah je vous prie de croire que tout le monde commence à connaître le chemin du studio hollywoodien où Michael a enregistré Thriller. Et puis, c'est dans cette ville que, venu du grand nord des Etats-Unis, il a emménagé tout gamin, au début des années 70, avec sa famille. Il vit d'ailleurs toujours dans la même maison, avec ses parents. Bref, on ne compte plus les musiciens vivant à L.A., les ingénieurs du son, producteurs, surtout depuis l'époque récente, du disco, mais aussi les agents. Parmi eux, un certain Ken Kragen, 39 ans, se distingue de ses pairs en ce qu'il est lui-même devenu une vedette des médias. Et ce matin du 23 décembre, il reçoit dans ses bureaux la visite inattendue d'une véritable légende de la chanson populaire : Harry Belafonte. Si ce nom ne vous dit rien, pas de complexe, en 1984, Belafonte n'est plus connu que des militants des droits civiques dont il a été une des grandes figures, vingt ans plus tôt, quand il était, lui aussi, une star de la chanson établie depuis longtemps. Vous ne pouvez pas, ne pas connaître Banana Boat ni Try to remember. Et donc, si ce matin du 23 décembre, on serait curieux de savoir ce qu'aurait fait Ken Kragen, s'il avait su que cette poignée de main et accolade qu'il donne à Belafonte allait déboucher sur la seule chose pour laquelle finalement on parle toujours de lui.As-tu entendu ce que les Britanniques viennent de sortir pour sauver des vies en Afrique ?Bien sûr qu'il est au courant, c'est actuellement la vente du siècle en Europe. Mais l'Amérique est loin et on en parle assez peu. Et bien ?Et bien je voudrais qu'on reprenne l'idée de Bob Geldof et qu'on réunisse les plus grandes stars des Etats-Unis pour un concert. Comme tu es le manager de deux des plus grandes, tu me vois me tenir devant toi.C'est donc en cette journée que Ken Kragen appelle l'artiste qui lui doit tout. Celui à qui il a dit trois ans plus tôt, alors qu'il s'apprête à quitter un des groupes les plus populaires des Etats-Unis : ton problème, c'est que le public connaît tes chansons mais pas ton nom. Je m'en occupe ! Et après deux albums solos triomphaux dont le second à l'échelle de la planète, Lionel Richie reçoit un appel de son manager qui lui dit avoir besoin de lui.

There were several ambitious projects in the 1980s where the music industry tried to make a difference by raising money to make a difference. One of those projects happened in 1985, when dozens of musicians formed a supergroup called USA for Africa and recorded We Are the World.  Written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson and produced by the legendary Quincy Jones, We Are the World included dozens of performers in a star-studded ensemble cast made up of some of the biggest names in music at the time: Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Kenny Loggins, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Smokey Robinson, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Huey Lewis, Hall & Oats, the Pointer Sisters, and more.  All walked into a studio where they were greeted by a sign that said “check your egos at the door.” And they did.  The finished product sold more than 20 million copies and was simultaneously played on 8,000 radio stations around the world. The project raised more than $63 million for famine relief in Africa. Nearly 40 years later, USA For Africa, is still active and fighting poverty.  In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and World, we're taking a look at We Are the World – the idea behind the project, the recording, and it's impact.

Es wird mal wieder munter getauscht, so hat jeder was Neues im Hause. Auch sonst besprechen wir die neuen Ankündigungen unserer Lieblings-Hersteller. Dann haben wir mal wieder eine Top Five und Torsten möchte gerne ein Charity-Musikevent neu besetzen. Guardians of the Galaxy wurde geschaut, allerdings nur von Torsten, aber wir reden trotzdem drüber. Das und noch viel mehr nur hier bei uns mit Plastik im Ohr, diesmal wieder in Überlänge...

We open the show with a look back at Tina Turner's career, but being us - we ended up wondering which member of the supergroup USA for Africa would die next. One name ''jumped'' out at us. Paulo reminds Dori of the mini-series V, while she reminds him of Macguyver's best friend. Frank Stallone wouldn't try boxing, so why did Sly sing? And we close off the episode with Two 80s Truths and a lie. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. This show originally plays out with music that we have to remove from the podcast - here are the songs we spoke about and played:  Queen of Hearts - Juice Newton. Iko Iko - Cyndy Lauper

Jordan and Alex discuss one of the best-selling singles of all time. It's a song that boasts more top tier talent than perhaps any other. It's also a song that brings new meaning to the phrase: “Well, it's the thought that counts..." They'll give you the backstory and behind the scenes drama of that one night in January 1985 when 40-something of the biggest stars in music crammed into a single studio, checked their egos at the door and worked through the night to record a sub-part tune by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie that raised some $80 million for African famine relief. You'll find out why a terrified Michael Jackson was reduced to curling up in the fetal position in the bathroom, why mega-talents like Prince and Madonna blew off the session, and why the proceedings were nearly torpedoed by Cyndi Lauper's earrings and a buffet. You'll also learn about Bob Dylan's intense stage fright, the surprising reason why Huey Lewis was given a solo when Smokey Robinson was NOT — plus all the reasons why Ray Charles and Bruce Springsteen were the MVPs of the session. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For at least a decade now, China has been quietly investing billions of dollars in Africa, specifically roads and other infrastructure. Likely they are not helping this troubled but mineral rich continent out of the kindness of their communist party hearts. Never fear, however: Joe Biden's nominee as ambassador to the African Union could not be less qualified. Help keep free speech free!

Zu Weihnachten des Vorjahres hatten die britischen Kolleg:innen es vorgemacht, wie es zu schaffen ist auch in kürzester Zeit etwas für die gute Sache aufzustellen - und da dachten sich die Amis, hey, das können wir auch.

TRIMMING THE COVER POD: It's snowing outside so it must be time for our 2022 Christmas show!  And we‘re taking on a Christmas charity classic: Band Aid's ‘Do They Know It's Christmas'. Not just the 1984 original but Band Aid II (‘89); Band Aid 20 (‘04) and Band Aid 30 ('14).  Which get the thumbs up from Paul & Stephen?  Look out for strong opinions, interesting facts and bad Davie Bowie impersonations. The boys also make to time to listen to USA For Africa's ‘We Are The World'. Has it aged well? Did it really need to last 7 minutes?!  An episode that features Bono, Bros, Dido, Kylie, Sting, Dizzee Rascal & Big Fun. Who would have thought! Enjoy! Merry Christmas!  00:00 Intro  01:47 Band Aid discussion  11:11 Band Aid II discussion  17:11 Band Aid 20 discussion  23:02 Band Aid 30 discussion  28:14 USA For Africa discussion  38:00 Outro

Toph leads the discussion and review of USA for Africa's 1985 recording ‘We Are the World' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!   For the first time, the brothers-brothers dive into an A-Side.  After discussing some pigskin, including both fantasy football and the emergence of Toph's alma matter, the boys dissect this classic project and the pop culture phenomenon which ensued.  Which performers drank beer during the sessions?  Which artists drove themselves to the studio?  Who wore the commemorative sweatshirt?  Why did Waylon Jennings walk out?  Who found a way to get their entire backing band into the room?  And, who – besides the lead producer and conducter – was really in charge?  Hold our beer and find out, as we make a brighter day.  Because after all, it's for the children.  There's a choice you're making…and it's to tune in!  LFG!

In the latest episode of the My88 Podcast with Wayne Tunks, we chat to a group of awesome people about their favourite songs of 1985.Featuring songs by Madonna, Starship, USA for Africa, A-ha, Sting and Kate Bush.My88 is available for streaming on iHeart and is your Home of the Eighties.

Petit retour sur le plus gros carton d'un titre caritatif : Lionel Richie et Michael Jackson aux commandes pour ce tube inoubliable!!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/noodles03/message

#OTD The charity single "We Are The World" was recorded by supergroup USA For Africa to aid in famine relief on the continent.

Diana Ross s'est assise sur les genoux de Bob Dylan. Billy Joel est tombé en pamoison devant Ray Charles. Lindsey Buckingham a dérangé Michael Jackson qui se cachait dans les toilettes, et Waylon Jennings est parti claquant la porte quand les discussions sont devenus absurdes. Pendant une nuit, le plus grand supergroupe jamais assemblé à failli partir en couille, même si ils étaient tous accueilli par un panneau précisant "laissez vos egos à la porte".

Kirk Buchner and Andrea Tessmann celebrate the one-year anniversary of the show, by looking at the most star-studded #1 ever, and ask Evan Nolan, Steve Buchner and Brad Nelson to exchange puns, insight and a comedic look at a song that did a lot of good, yet nobody really likes.

A USA for Africa era uma organização sem fins lucrativos criada para encaminhar recursos aos povos famintos no continente africano, especialmente na Etiópia, onde a fome vitimava cerca de um milhão de pessoas por ano. Em janeiro de 1985, o mundo tomou conhecimento do movimento que, por ideia do cantor Harry Belafonte, gravou uma canção de Michael Jackson e Lionel Ritchie: We are the world. Bem, todo mundo sabe o sucesso que foi a gravação, o vídeo, as entrevistas e toda a mobilização. Isso tudo num planeta sem internet e mídias sociais. O compacto vendeu mais de 7,5 milhões de cópias só nos Estados Unidos e, seguido por um álbum, videoclipe e merchandising, o movimento levantou cerca de 50 milhões de dólares, que hoje equivaleriam a 120 milhões de dólares. Cara! É quase um Petrolão. Em 2010, na comemoração dos 25 anos do evento, foi lançado um DVD especial, que continha um documentário onde Harry Belafonte seguiu a entrega do dinheiro na África. No final do documentário, ele conclui que a maior parte do dinheiro ficou pelo caminho, pagando estrutura da ONG, logística, propinas, corrupção, chefes políticos. Não havia estrutura logística para fazer com que os mantimentos chegassem, comboios eram desviados por políticos ou saqueados por guerrilheiros… Os esforços tão valiosos dos artistas e de todos que compraram o disco, pouco ou nada adiantaram. A história do USA for África me colocou em modo de alerta para essas grandes movimentações de solidariedade, que exigem estruturas caras, se perdem em camadas e processos e têm uma eficiência discutível. Talvez o dinheiro seja melhor aplicado, se for diretamente de mim para a pessoa que está ajudando outra pessoa ali na esquina da minha casa. No meu bairro. Na minha cidade. De mim para quem necessita, com o menor número de intermediários.   Gostou? De onde veio este, tem muito, mas muito mais.

According to bestselling religious scholar Reza Aslan, the New Testament Gospels “are not, nor were they ever meant to be, a historical documentation of Jesus’s life." The Gospels are, Aslan claims, fictional compositions from early Christians who re-imagined a Jewish revolutionary named Jesus as an ethereal Christ of faith. But is it really reasonable to read the New Testament Gospels as fiction? And, if the Gospels aren't fiction, what genre are they? In the first half of this week’s program, New Testament scholar Jonathan Pennington joins Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones to explore these crucial questions: What literary genre best describes the New Testament Gospels? And are these compositions believable as history? Michael Jackson, the king of pop, is the star of the second half of this week’s program as Garrick and Timothy go looking for signs of grace the bestselling single of the 1980s, “We Are the World” by U.S.A. For Africa. Along the way, Timothy reveals how he would still be single if it weren’t for REO Speedwagon, Garrick divulges his deep childhood fixation on Michael Jackson’s jacket, and Jonathan Pennington just can’t fight the feeling that he belongs in the band Pink Floyd. The dilemma drawn from the bowels of the Infinity Gauntlet this week leads to a showdown between Wakanda and Hogwarts that threatens to rend the space-time continuum. The resulting clash of ideas nearly leads to a breaking of the fellowship that binds Garrick, Timothy, and Jonathan together. In the end, a reference to REO Speedwagon becomes the potion that saves their friendship. Subscribe to Three Chords and the Truth: The Apologetics Podcast: Apple / Android / RSS.   In this Episode Jonathan T. Pennington, Ph.D., is associate professor of New Testament Interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he is also director of the Ph.D. program. Pennington is the author of The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing, Reading the Gospels Wisely, and Heaven and Earth In the Gospel of Matthew. He is also on the preaching staff at Sojourn East in Louisville, Kentucky and the host of the YouTube show, "Cars, Coffee, Theology". Follow Dr. Pennington on Twitter at @DrJTPennington. Questions to Discuss 1.  What is the genre of a particular piece of literature? 2. What does the genre of books in Bible matter? Why should Christians care about their genre? 3. What genre are the New Testament Gospels? How do we know? 4. Were works in the bios genre always nonfiction or were they sometimes fictional? Why do we think that the New Testament Gospels aren't fictional? 5. Suppose someone listening to this program has a friend who is a skeptic and completely rejects the truth of the Gospels. What should a Christian do to help a skeptic see the truth of the Gospels? 6. Can you think of a particular time when God worked through the Gospels to convince you of the truth of his promises and his Word?

This week, Uri and Rivky break down a recent fascinating panel called Social Justice in Modern Orthodoxy. The panel took place in the Jewish Center, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and was co-hosted by the UJA and Hitoreri. Sitting on the panel: Dr. Elana Stein Hain, Rabbi Saul Berman, and Rabbi Elie Weinstock. They ask, what is social justice? Should it be part of Modern Orthodoxy, and if so, why isn’t it? What did we learn from this panel, if anything?

On this date in 1985, the charity song “We Are The World” was released. Here are some things you may not have known about it. More than a million people died as a result of a widespread famine in Ethiopia between 1983 and 1985, in the midst of more than two decades of insurrection and civil war. In response to this, musician Bob Geldof organized a supergroup of mostly British and Irish musicians called Band Aid to record a charity single called “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” The song ended up raising 8 million pounds in the first year. Inspired by the success, Harry Belafonte decided to organize an American version. Calling the group USA For Africa, the USA standing for United Support of Artists, the group would raise money for African famine relief and to fight hunger in the United States. Belafonte called on entertainment manager Ken Kragen, whose clients included Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers. Stevie Wonder was the third artist to join up.  Quincy Jones was brought on to co-produce the song, and he convinced Michael Jackson to join the effort. Jackson, Richie and Wonder were initially assigned songwriting duties, but Wonder had to drop out because of time constraints. Jackson and Richie spent a week working together on the song. The duo completed writing the song the night before recording was scheduled to begin. On the night of Jan. 22, Jackson, Richie, Wonder and Jones recorded a vocal guide of the song to send to the artists who would be participating in the full recording session about a week later. At about 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 28, musicians began gathering at A&M Recording Studios in Hollywood. The final version was completed at about 8 a.m. The song was released on March 7, and went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after two weeks, becoming the second song after “Let It Be” by The Beatles to his No. 1 so quickly. The song topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary, R&B and Dance charts as well. It hit No. 27 on the Mainstream Rock chart and 76 on the Country Singles chart. A videotape of the recording session ended up being the ninth best-selling home video of the year. The song also topped the charts in 15 other countries, and was the year-end No. 1 hit in Australia and New Zealand. Since its release, the song has raised more than $63 million for USA For Africa’s humanitarian fund. Our question: Who was the only singer on “We Are The World” who also played an instrument on the track? Today is Teachers’ Day in Albania. It’s unofficially National Sportsmanship Day, National Cereal Day, and Peace Corps Day. It’s the birthday of Janet Guthrie, the first woman to race in the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500, who turns 79; actress and comedian Wanda Sykes, who is 53; and actress Jenna Fischer, who is 43. This week in 1985, the top song in the U.S. was “Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon. The No. 1 movie was “Beverly Hills Cop,” while the novel “If Tomorrow Comes” by Sidney Sheldon topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Weekly question: For which book, later turned into a movie, did James Michener win the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for fiction?

The Brat Pack was stuck in Saturday detention, Pee Wee's bike was stolen, and the Goonies were good enough. Yikes, what a year -- the only thing missing was a basketball-playing werewolf. (Oh, wait!)
