An original letter, signed by Quincy Jones, to fellow artists involved in the We Are the World charity single.
Jones gives details of how the recording will take place and the plan of action. He also states at the end that he ‘will break his buns to make this the most enjoyable experience’ the artists have ever had.
The record sold in excess of 20 million physical copies, the eighth-best-selling single of all time, meant to raise money for the 1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia.
The song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie and featured Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan Ray Charles and more.
A rare letter and rather sought after being connected with such an important single.
