Yeah, I think I prefer Handsome Dick to the mawkish We Are The World too, they really should have given him a solo vocal spot there, he might have prevented it from being THAT grotesquely syrupy. He has a knack for lightening things up ("here ... where the streets are paved, here ... in the USA").
I'm not against charity singles per se - I really liked Do They Know It's Christmas as a tune. It was far more uplifting "let's get this done and help" than the overbearingly mock-passionate We Are The World, really a song like Steven Spielberg does movies.
And then no guitar solos - quite unlike this one!
Rant over, We Are The World was of course for a commendable cause and I'm happy it did as well as it did.
There was German charity single too at the time, namely Nackt im Wind (Naked in the Wind),
my guess is that there is a Dutch one as well? Let's hear it, Rob!
