Porra to com um DVD de clipes aqui e tinha esse, lembrei de uma fase excelente da música americana, muitos artistas desse clipe ainda fazem sucesso e a maioria era fodona, quem passou pela época (início dos anos 80) vai lembrar de muito nego foda ae. E esse clipe ownou tudo em termos de parada de sucessos e prêmios e vendagens récordes. Acho uma das músicas mais fodas de todos os tempos, chego até a me arrepiar ouvindo. Nesse próprio link do vídeo no YT tem um resumo do sucesso que foi essa música, copiei abaixo:
Harry Belafonte called manager Ken Kragen about a fundraising idea for Africa. Kragen suggested a multi-artistic event akin to Bob Geldof's Band-Aid and the resulting single "Do They Know It's Christmas." Kragen contacted Lionel Richie, who was one of his clients, Quincy Jones, and Michael Jackson about the idea. Kragen booked time at A&M Recording Studios on January 28, 1985, the night of the American Music Awards to ensure the artist would be available. Richie and Jackson collaborated on the song that would become "We Are the World." Jones sent out instrumental versions of the song along with the note that emphasized "check your egos at the door." The music video for the song is a who's who of '80s pop.
Issued on March 7, 1984, "We Are the World" sold 800,000 copies in one weekend. There was even a day when the record was played simultaneously on radio and TV stations across the country. Produced by Quincy Jones and issued under the name USA for Africa, "We Are the World" sold over four million copies, going to number one R&B for two weeks, number one pop for four weeks, number one adult contemporary, and number 76 country in the spring of 1985. It won Grammys for Best Song, Best Record, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. The We Are the World LP sold over three million copies, holding down the number one pop spot for three weeks, while going to number six R&B. Adding music sales and merchandising, "We Are the World" generated over 50 million dollars to aid starving people in Africa.
