Picture this: it’s 1985, and the world is coming together for a cause bigger than any individual. “We Are the World,” the legendary charity single, was born from the brilliant mind of Harry Belafonte, inspired by the success of the Band Aid charity Christmas single, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”

The song was recorded on Jan. 28, 1985, at Hollywood’s A&M Studios (now known as Henson Studios), with many of the artists heading straight to the session after attending that night’s American Music Awards.

Directed by Bao Nguyen, “The Greatest Night in Pop” is a heartwarming documentary that gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this epic song.

From the brainstorming sessions to the late-night recording sessions, every moment is packed with emotion, camaraderie, and pure musical magic.

But what makes this documentary truly special is the humanity it captures.

We get to see our musical idols—yes, even the biggest names—just being themselves: nervous, excited, and full of passion for the cause.

From Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson crafting the song’s iconic melody to Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder lending their voices to the chorus, every artist brings their own unique energy to the table.

And let’s not forget the unforgettable moments that make this documentary a must-watch. From Huey Lewis sweating bullets over his solo line to Cyndi Lauper’s infectious enthusiasm, there’s never a dull moment in this star-studded journey through music history.

But it’s not just about the music—it’s about the impact it had on the world. “We Are the World” went on to top charts around the globe and raise over $80 million for humanitarian aid.

It’s a reminder that when we come together, we can truly make a difference.

Upon its release in March 1985, “We Are the World” became one of the biggest songs ever made, selling over 20 million copies worldwide and becoming the first single to earn multi-platinum certification from the RIAA.

It’s estimated the song helped raise over $63 million (in 1985 dollars) for humanitarian aid in Africa.
