In 1985 a colaborat cu Lionel Richie pentru a scrie un single caritabil: We Are The World” care s-a auzit in intreaga lume pentru a ajuta familiiile sarace din America si Africa. A devenit unul dintre cele mai bine vandute single-uri ale tuturor timpurilor.
„We Are The World” a fost recunoscut ca o piesa importanta pentru politica, care „a pus punctul pe problemele Africii, lucru care pana in acel moment era fara precedent”.
S-a vandut in 20 mil de exemplare si s-au adunat 63 mil $
