Supplemental context
We Are the World was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones. Its ensemble presentation makes celebrity collaboration part of the work’s public identity. A future archive should distinguish the recording and promotional film from the organization and outcomes of the fundraising effort.
Creator/community: USA for Africa artists; writers Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie; producer Quincy Jones Place/era: United States, 1985
Context and limits
A charitable purpose does not itself establish the scale or effectiveness of aid delivered. The studio illustration is invented, with blank folders; it does not identify the original singers, room, microphone layout or recording equipment.
