There, they will celebrate a quarter century since Ken Kragen, Richie and Michael Jackson organized the original \u201cWe Are the World\u201d with Quincy.<\/p>\n<p>This time the artists invited include Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend. But you can bet that more names will be added shortly and that all the Grammy nominees and participants will be asked to come as well. Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich will produce the event, which will then be turned into a video and single just like it was in 1985. Don\u2019t be surprised if Wyclef Jean joins in, along with Sting, Fergie, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake and other distinctive voices.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hoped that as in 1985, everyone will \u201cleave their egos at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Originally, this anniversary celebration was to be held on Jan. 28. But when the Haiti earthquake happened, sources tell me, the whole deal changed. Now proceeds will go to Haiti relief. In 1985, \u201cWe Are the World,\u201d which begat Live Aid, raised money for Africa relief.<\/p>\n<p>Plans are still sketchy, but one thing\u2019s for sure: In some way, the song\u2019s co-author Michael Jackson will be invoked.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/showbiz411.blogs.thr.com\/2010\/01\/20\/we-are-the-world-25-sequel-aid-haiti-quincy-jones\/\">Showbiz411<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: This column has learned that Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are planning a massive 25th anniversary re-recording of \u201cWe Are the World.\u201d The timing couldn\u2019t be better, sadly enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>We Are The World - Charity Single For Haiti - Michael Jackson MJSTAR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mjstar.co.uk\/index.php\/2010\/01\/we-are-the-world-charity-single-for-haiti\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"We Are The World - Charity Single For Haiti - Michael Jackson MJSTAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"EXCLUSIVE: This column has learned that Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are planning a massive 25th anniversary re-recording of \u201cWe Are the World.\u201d The timing couldn\u2019t be better, sadly enough.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/mjstar.co.uk\/index.php\/2010\/01\/we-are-the-world-charity-single-for-haiti\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Michael Jackson MJSTAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/mjstaronline\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-01-21T20:17:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/index.php\\\/2010\\\/01\\\/we-are-the-world-charity-single-for-haiti\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/index.php\\\/2010\\\/01\\\/we-are-the-world-charity-single-for-haiti\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/23490550cd6d5237805f04611a00790f\"},\"headline\":\"We Are The World &#8211;
