The world premiere of the “We Are The World” remake aired last night during the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Over 80 artists were involved and got together to re-record the song, “We Are The World 25 For Haiti.”
According to JustJared:
"The song will raise money and make grants for efficient Haiti relief and continual development of programs to benefit the nation in the future through the newly created We Are The World Foundation."
Watch the video:
According to the video's YouTube page, "We Are The World 25 for Haiti" was "recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti."
