LONDON - Michael Jackson will be part of a new video for the revamped version of ‘We Are The World’, Lionel Richie has revealed.
In the video, which will make its debut in the US during coverage of the Winter Olympics’ opening ceremony, the late King of Pop can be seen singing with his sister Janet.
“We left the original footage of that part, but now he is singing with his sister,” the Mirror quoted Lionel, who wrote the original charity anthem, as saying.
Quincy Jones, who produced the original track and helped orchestrate the re-recording, added: “It’s something we wanted to see, but his mother requested it too, for Janet to sing with Michael. It was perfect. It was meant to be.”
Proceeds from sales of the song, which features 80 artists, including Pink, Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Kanye West and Jennifer Hudson, will benefit earthquake recovery efforts in Haiti. (ANI)
