"Greatest Night in Pop" We Are the World Documentary

Any Man With A Microphone

Our hosts discuss an unlikely topic: the Netflix documentary, "The Greatest Night in Pop," which highlights the 1985 recording of "We Are the World." The documentary goes behind the scenes of the recording process, as dozens of the era's hottest musicians and legends gathered in L.A. (for one night only) to record the single for African famine relief. We discuss the ups and downs and speculate what modern-day singers would be involved in such a project if it happened today.
(Mentioned in this episode: Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Bob Dylan, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Twenty-One Pilots, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran).
