Major Hollywood artists and stars re-recorded “We Are The World” to benefit the Haiti earthquake victim yesterday. There were singing stars from all different genres including Harry Connick Jr., Carlos Santana, Faith Evans, T Pain, Benji Madden, and finally showing up for Haiti, Kanye West. The photos also indicate that Celine Dion, Justin Beiber, Barbra Streisand, Usher, Will.i.am and many more were present.

Quincy Jones announced last week that he planned to redo the 1985 song to help Haiti, which will premiere during the coverage of the Winter Olympics on NBC. The song was a huge success 25 years ago. Today the Hope for Haiti Telethon and Simon Cowell’s “Everybody Hurts” remake share the spotlight as donation options.

At the same, reading the list of superstar talent makes me curious to hear what I hope is a very updated version of the 80s song. And Quincy is a hit maker after all. Lionel Richie, who oversaw the new version with Jones, said “This one, the enthusiasm, I’ve never seen anything like it.”
