Jackson went on to become one of the most internationally famous

award-winning solo pop sensations to date. Jackson's 2009 death stirred

controversy and was ultimately ruled a homicide.

Dr. Conrad Murray, who had been caring for the pop star at the time of

his death, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on

November 7, 2011, later receiving a four-year prison sentence.

Dubbed the "King of Pop," singer-songwriter Michael Jackson was born in Gary,

Indiana, on August 29, 1958. As a child, he

performed as the lead singer of the Jackson

family's popular Motown group, the Jackson 5.

A founding member of the Commodores, Lionel Richie's debut solo album was a hit, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard

chart in 1982, while "Truly"—a ballad from

that album—reached No. 1 and won him a

Grammy.

He performed one of his most popular hits, "All

Night Long" (1983), at the closing ceremony of the

1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games and co-wrote the famine relief song "We

Are the World" with Michael Jackson in 1993.

This song won the Grammys like Song Of The Year

and Record Of The Year.

The song was released on March

7, 1985, as the only song from the

album.

This was recorded on

January 28, 1985, the day of the

American Music Awards.

Stars like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bruce

Springsteen and Billy Joel all came together to make

the song.

This was a benefit single for victims of famine in Africa. It

raised over $60 Million, which was

distributed to Ethiopia, Sudan, and other impoverished

countries.

"We Are the World" is a song and charity single originally recorded by the supergroup

USA for Africa in 1985.

It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and produced by Quincy Jones and

Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World.

The last year, after the major earthquake in Haiti on January 12,

2010, artists got together once more to record a new version of

the song.

This time, musicians as weirdly diverse as Wyclef Jean, Carlos

Santana, and Taylor Swift performed the song, and all the

proceeds will go to help the people of Haiti. Find out what Dale and Ella think about “We Are the World 25

for Haiti.”

There is a time when we should hear the certain calls

'Cause the world it seems it's right in this limb

'Cause there's a chance for taking in needing our own lives

It seems we need nothing at all

I used to feel that I should give away my heart

And it shows that fear of needing it there

Then I read the headlines and it said they're dying there

And it shows that we must heed instead

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

Give in your heart and you will see that someone cares

'Cause you know that they can feed them all

Then I read the paper and it said that you've been denied

And it shows the second we will call

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

Now there's a time when we must love them all

And it seems that life, it don't make love at all

But if you'd been there, and I'll love you more and more

It seems in life, I didn't do that

We are the world, the world

We are the children, are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving, let's start giving

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

We are the world, are the world

We are the children, are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving, let's start giving

But there's a chance we're taking, taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

We are the world, shalom

We are the children, shalingin

We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom

So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

Come on, yeah

We are the world, shalom

We are the children, shalingin

We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom

So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me

Oh yeah, we got it

We are the world, shalom

We are the children, shalingin

We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom

So let's start giving, cause that's what we're being

There's a chance we're taking

We're taking our own lives

It's true we'll make a brighter day

Just you and me
