Sales of this DVD benefit USA For Africa. In a little more than 30 years, ''USA for Africa'' has raised more than $100,000,000 to help alleviate poverty in Africa and in the United States.
In 1985, the music industry and the world came together in an unprecedented outpouring of generosity in response to the tragic famine wreaking havoc in Africa at the time. The biggest names in music checked their egos at the door to create what was and still is a worldwide phenomenon. The recording of the originalWe Are The Worldsold more than 7 million records worldwide. The worldwide sale of that record generated more than $60 million which has been used to assist Africa and Africans affected by the famine and other critical issues since 1985. The song became and remains the people's anthem and continues to be revered and loved globally. (Harry Bellafonte)
