This is what the world is supposed to be... We must be grateful for all those amazing voices recorded for eternity, sadly many of those voices are not with us anymore.

The fact that Michael skipped an awards to sing a demo for the artists to hear just makes him so much more awesome than everyone else

Magical time in music!!!

Yes, I have watched the Netflix documentary a number of times, but it was so great to stumble across this original from 1985. This is (not surprisingly) a little more raw film but really shows the personalities of all these fine talents. Lastly, when Stevie Wonder brought the Ethiopian woman up to the mic to say "thank you" to the performers, there wasn't a dry eye in the studio. Very worthwhile watching.
