The project was organized by Bruce Allen , who brought together a large group of artists to record a song written by Bryan Adams , Jim Vallance and David Foster , with additional contributions by Rachel Paiement , Paul Hyde and Bob Rock . The song was recorded on February 10 , 1985 at Manta Sound studios in Toronto, Ontario . The song was issued as a single by CBS Records in March of that year, and quickly reached Number 1 on the Canadian Top 40 charts. The song was later included on USA For Africa's ''We Are The World'' album as well. The song's video also received extensive airplay on MuchMusic . On December 22 , 1985 , the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation aired a 90-minute documentary on the song's creation, which was subsequently released on Videocassette as well. A CBC reporter, Brian Stewart , had been the first Western journalist to bring the famine in Ethiopia to worldwide attention. By 1990 , the project had raised $3.2 million for famine relief projects in Africa, although 10 per cent of the monies raised were kept to fund Canadian food assistance programs as well. SEE ALSO |
