Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the
original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios,
formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For
Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive
producers and producers, was created in collaboration with
executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter
Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and
co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to
benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the
rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash,
Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as
those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved
countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording
session to create the accompanying video and
behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director
and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean,
Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and
performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti
embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and
generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one
of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or
generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls
completely open to coming together to help the people of
Haiti.
