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.

Ok i am not saying this to be mean,i believe it was nice that you all came together to sing such a wonderful song from such a wonderful person that is very much loved and missed(RIP MJ)but i just can’t seem to fully understand why all the focus is on Haiti,the USA has so much going on and think about,just for a minute are we getting any help here? Well to some point we are but why does it always seem that everyone is so generous to other countries,and noone is really focusing on the issues that the USA is having,i am far from being a cold hearted person,i do feel bad for them but i feel more pain for our country,well thank you for listening,sorry if i upset anyone,but it’s the truth,i must add one more thing,good example here New Orleans is still not situated why aren’t those people getting all the help that Haiti is?Thank You Again.
