We Are The World 25 For Haiti – [Official Video]


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.

Academy
Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby),
whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and
Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private
recording session to create the accompanying video and
behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an
Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.

The
25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The
recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same
enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording
25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of
genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls
completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.
