Lionel Richie und Quincy Jones arbeiten an “We Are The World 2" (premiere am 12. februar zur eröffnung der olympischen spiele)

    We Are the World 25: Elton, Wyclef, Celine, Gladys, Aretha


    By: Roger Friedman // Thursday January 28, 2010


    “We Are the World 25″ is a go for Monday, Feb. 1, at Henson A&M Studios, the same place where it was recorded in 1985. Quincy Jones and AEG Live’s Randy Phillips are putting the finishing touches on the big recording session.


    Among the names I’ve heard so far: Elton John, Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, Gladys Knight, and possibly Aretha Franklin will join a huge number of younger stars.


    Some of the stars from Quincy Jones’ upcoming album, “Soul Bossa Nostra,” may join in as well. They would include Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Akon, Bebe Winans, Usher, Robin Thicke, LL Cool J, and Tevin Campbell.



    As I told you yesterday, Paul Haggis will film the proceedings. What’s still being finalized is where all the money will go; that should be announced by Friday. When the original “We Are the World” was recorded in 1985, the money was funneled through its own organization. This time, however, raised funds will be sent through an established foundation.


    Originally there was a sketchy plan to re-record “We Are the World.” But when the Haiti earthquake occurred, Quincy Jones realized there was a larger purpose for the reunion.


    And this is really Quincy Jones’s week. The famed and legendary producer/composer has just designed a watch named the Quincy for Audemars Piguet. It’s really a beauty, too. You can see it here. Maybe Q will design a Swatch next!


    Paul Haggis May Film ‘We Are the World’


    By: Roger Friedman // Wednesday January 27, 2010


    Oscar winning writer-director Paul Haggis (”Crash,” “Million Dollar Baby”) is tentatively signed to film Quincy Jones’ 25th anniversary edition of “We Are the World.”


    I told you last week that Jones and Lionel Richie were hoping to pull this effort off on Feb. 1 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The plan is still moving forward, although there’s an outside chance of a change of date due to a scheduling conflicts with the dozens of artists who want to participate.


    AEG Live, which is helping put this together, didn’t return calls yesterday. I am told that several different corporate sponsors have voiced an interest in joining in, especially since this time “We Are the World” will help Haiti relief. It’s a great idea.


    Haggis has an interest in Haiti. His Arists for Peace and Justice have been raising money for the beleaguered country for the last few years, even auctioning off art for the cause. Haggis (who’s Canadian and American, contrary to wire reports that he’s British) flew to Haiti last week to help in the aid effort.


    Haggis, by the way, just finished shooting a new film with Russell Crowe in Pittsburgh.

    Paris & Prince Michael Jackson to record ‘We Are The World’

    By ROBERTA — 5 hours ago
    According to sources, Paris and Prince Michael Jackson are set to be included in Monday’s re-recording of “We Are The World”. The proceeds from the newer version of the song will benefit those affected by the tragedy in Haiti.
    A source said, “Prince Michael and Paris know that helping others was as important to their daddy as music. That is why they really want to be part of the re-recording of this extraordinary song.”
    It was touching to see them take the stage at tonight’s Grammys and you could really tell how nervous they were.
    As far as the new recording is concerned, we haven’t heard yet as to whether or not the kids will get their own solos or if they will be blended in with other singers.
