U.S.A. For Africa – We Are the World

A signature song of the ’80s, “We Are the World.” To put it plainly, it’s a piece created by gathering a lot of famous singers of the time, with Michael (Jackson), Lionel Richie, and Quincy Jones making the song.

It was the original track that brought together star artists for charity.

The melody is catchy and the tempo is on the slower side, so I think it’s easy to sing.

If I had to name an artist from the ’80s who left a strong impression, it would be Rick Astley.

The gap between his looks and his voice was incredible and really shocked me.

His singing voice is excellent, and many of his songs are catchy, pop numbers that are very easy to sing along to, so I especially recommend him.
