ONLY TIME in HISTORY That EVERY Radio Station Played the SAME SONG @ the SAME TIME-Professor of Rock

Oh man, we got a great one for you next… Brand new interviews and insights on the biggest selling #1 hit of the 80s: We Are the World. And the group USA For Africa was only together for a couple of hours… They put the super in supergroup… The greatest supergroup ever assembled, and I got many of those legends telling the story today. A group that had so many legendary singers, some had to sit out singing lead. So many great stories here, including one about a legendary singer who was supposed to be there but was a no-show, which opened the door for another singer to step up. And then every radio station in AMERICA played the song at the very same time.. The only time that’s ever happened… That’s just the tip of the iceberg… this is one show you don’t want to miss out on. Man, oh man, buckle up for some pure, unadulterated joy and nostalgia next on Professor of Rock. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive Producer Brandon Fugal Honorary Producers Moon Comix, Scratchers J Scratcherton esq, fakeaorta, Mark Thompson, skymech9 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the Professor of Rock Podcast Apple - https://apple.co/445fVov Spotify - https://spoti.fi/42JpfvU Amazon Music – https://amzn.to/44b5D6m iHeartRadio – https://bit.ly/444h8MO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out The Professor of Rock Merch Store -http://bit.ly/ProfessorMerch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out Patron Benefits http://bit.ly/ProfessorofRockVIPFan Help out the Channel by purchasing your albums through our links!

Stories and tidbits from rock and pop history that you won’t find anywhere else. This is one for the ages. It was a night unlike any other night before, there was the internet, 24-hour news, and AI. The date was January 28th, 1985, and a legendary producer would gather the greatest legends of rock and pop music underneath he same roof to assemble the greatest supergroup in the history of the world, but it would only be for one song and only take place over one night… Every 80s kid remembers this event…it was a key part of our childhood. I’m talking about the group USA for Africa and the multiplatinum #1 smash We Are The World. The charity single that was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian. the song would go on to sell over 20 million copies making if one of the biggest selling singles ever and today I’ve got a half dozen interviews with legends sharing some of the key experiences from that magical night. Inspired by Band Aid, who had just released Do They Know It’s Christmas just a month before. The late musician activist Harry Belafonte wanted to help, and he enlisted fundraiser and humanitarian, and artist manager Ken Kragen to help implement his vision. They got hold of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, who had been a client in the past, and they started to write the song. It was finished a mere 7 weeks after Do They Know It’s Christmas and just before they assembled the superstars and legends to record the song. In fact, they were still trying to put the finishing touches on the song as people were arriving. They carefully planned the session to be right after the American music awards so that many of the artists would be able to make to the studio right after the show’s taping. Harry Belafonte deserves a lot of credit for putting together the initial idea or organizing the recording of the song, and for having the best-known artists participate. He would have the proceeds donated to an organization called United Support of Artists for Africa, known as USA for Africa. The non-profit would, in turn, get food to starving people in Ethiopia where a famine was taking place.
