"We Are The World" Back Again To Raise Money For Haiti!


Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie will re-record We Are the World with some of world's top recording artists next month to raise money for Haiti, Billboard.com reports.

The single will be recorded in Los Angeles on Feb. 1, following the Grammy Awards weekend, and will also mark the 25th anniversary of the original recording

The song, co-written by Richie and Michael Jackson, and co-produced by Jones, in 1985, raised money for Africa and led to the Live Aid charity concert. The long and diverse list of more than 40 singers included Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, Bette Midler, Waylon Jennings, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen.

This time,  Usher, Natalie Cole and John Legend have been invited to take part in a "supergroup" recording. Billboard says the 2010 roster may also include Wyclef Jean, Sting, Fergie, Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake among others.

I wish Michael Jackson was here for this.
