I've always enjoyed this song...always been an inspiring, uplifting and a helluva great song to sing to (in my car, during the shower, errr...don't hate). Anyway, I do get a bit nervous how the finish product will come out. A entirely new group of legends and today's music stars (and actors) joined the list of over 80 participants lending their voice for this remake to help the people of Haiti. I applaud Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones and Wyclef Jean for making this happen, and hopefully they can create a refreshing sound to a classic song. Despite being disappointed that such artists like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake or Alicia Keys weren't involved, I am glad to mention that Janet Jackson is recording Michael Jackson's part in the song. The video will premiere Feb. 12 during the start of the Winter Olympics on NBC.
Before then, here's a little sample of what went on in the recording studio this past Monday:
Here is the 1985 original classic:
