The
music industry is looking back a generation in order to raise money for the
earthquake-ravaged nation. Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones are honoring the
25th anniversary of the song "We Are the World" by recording a remix
to benefit Haitian earthquake victims. Star-struck
singers, rappers and actors, including Barbra Streisand,
Celion Dion and Miley Cyrus, checked their egos
at the door on Monday to record a new version of of the song, 25 years after
the original raised awareness of the famine in Africa. In all, more than
70 stars lent their voices to the song, and they all seemed in awe of each
other. The song, which was still being worked on into the small hours of
Tuesday, will make its world premiere during NBC's coverage of the Vancouver
Winter Olympics on February 12.
