With producer Quincy Jones on board, musicians like Stevie Wonder, Kenny Rogers, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen were eager to lend their talent to the cause. The single skyrocketed to the top of the charts, won four Grammys and raised millions to help those in need. 當年是冠軍單曲 並且贏了四個葛萊美 和募了上百萬 After the devastating Haiti earthquake, Lionel and Quincy decided it was time to bring back "We Are the World." More than 80 of the world's most talented singers joined the project—including Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, The Jonas Brothers, Pink, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jay-Z, Jennifer Nettles, Jennifer Hudson and Lady Gaga. "I've never seen so much excitement—Tony Bennett, Snoop Dog talking to each other. Lil Wayne, Barbra Streisand talking to each other," Lionel says. "Everyone stepped up, and it's beautiful. 很多歌手都來了 棒級了 (阿姆??!!) When the original single was recorded in 1985, there was a sign at the studio that read, "Check your egos at the door." This time, Lionel says everyone's egos disappeared once they were reminded why they were there. "It lasted for about 20 minutes," he says. "Once you see the kids standing on top of their homes, on top of their families—because they're still in the rubble. ... Now, the egos stop. You absolutely know what you're supposed to do when you're there." 25年前 在錄音室門口 曾有標語寫 把你的自尊留在門外 而這次 大家只要看到海地的小朋友們的災情 你就已經放下你的自尊了 Despite the amazing talent in the room, Lionel says many of the performers were actually nervous. "You get in there and realize the new group can't really perform in the circle. In other words, they're nervous," he says. "We had to have three separate rooms [for soloists to record in]." 很多歌手其實都很警張 他們不能在眾人面前出來獨唱 所以要另外有錄音室錄獨唱部分 The plan, Lionel says, was for the new recording to remain a secret.. "Right after we finished the first verse, everybody's Twittered." 這個計畫本來應該是秘密進行 但是才唱第一句 大家都開始twitter了 Lionel says the new performance brought back memories of working with Michael Jackson back in 1985—and shares a story he's never told publicly. "We're writing the lyrics of 'We Are the World' the first time," he says. "I'm lying on the floor, and I see out of the corner of my eye some records falling over. There's a python." 萊諾李奇分享他當年跟MJ寫歌的情形 他們第一次開始寫歌詞時 他正躺在地上 然後他突然看到角落很多唱片倒了 爬出了一條大蟒蛇 Lionel was rattled, but Michael was excited. "[He says]: 'Oh, there he is, Lionel. I found the snake,'" he says. "It's an albino python that he couldn't find in the house." 他整個嚇死 但MJ很高興的說:喔 他在這阿 Lionel我總算找到蛇了 因為這條蛇 MJ之前一直在家找不到 影片有說 他有說他整個跟蛇面對面 蛇還在跟他吐舌頭XD To honor his friend, Lionel found a way to put Michael in the video. "He had to be in it," he says. "So what we did was we have Michael singing [his] exact same part with the footage, and Janet, his sister, singing along with him. --
