USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year.
The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people.
A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8, 2004.

November 20th, 2008 at 05:55:25 Dear guys and gals!! I understand that this video was produced years and years century ago when all top-notched prominent pop hits singers in USA summoned together to answer a special call to relive hunger/starvation in Africa, a meaningful propaganda called USA for Africa!! Now, here comes the new campaign called Africa for USA when the Africa-descent Baracks Obama has been newly elected as US President!! Hailing to the States!! Ambrose Linn
