We have a familiar song that kids learn in school. What’s a classic? To the next generation, it’s just an old song. Richie responds to criticism of the new version in USA Today: While Richie and USA For Africa producer Quincy Jones mulled a celebratory remake of the classic song last year, “We Are The World 25″ was green-lit only in the wake of Haiti’s devastating quake on 1/12. It was filmed 2/1, the day after the Grammy Awards (AKA Hotbed Of Talent Awards) in the same LA recording studio that berthed the original. Hasn’t Haiti suffered enough? The mildly anticipated retread of Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie’s landmark “We Are The World” - with 21st century flashes in the pan and abundant Auto-Tune in place of Bruce/Tina/Stevie/Willie/etc - hit YouTube over the weekend.
