Who engineered this.
It is the sickest thing of all time. By far. The most amazing lineup EVER...

Whoa!
I record, mix, and master in my Philly-based home studio, the Spacement. https://linktr.ee/ipressrecord

Wow! That's like a diet cross between "We Are The World," "What's Going On," and "The Superbowl Shuffle."

It looks kind of like one of the guys from Nelson is singing into the tapeop telephone mic!

Oh crap, Kenny G just started playing.

Yes you did. Does anybody remember this one (from around the same time):

Little Richard was in both videos, anybody else?
It makes me nostalgic for the kinder, gentler Iraq war of 1991.

Yes. Blazing mullet and all. "the bos" totally makes any event a party!

I especially liked the random shots of stars waving vaguely in the direction of the camera!??!?!?? ???? for real WTF??!??!?!?!?

So funny and random? Can I just go film tiger woods eating breakfast, or ALF high fiving marla maples and dedicate it to the troops and play that over some shitty song too? Please?

Apparently, as long as there's a C12 or a 251 in the shot, sure, go ahead, knock yourself out.

I have to agree...that is the highlight. He must be the songwriter/organizer or something.

Ah - I was wondering who the guy was. I was struck by how he was the only guy in the room who lacked, as we say, "star quality."

Really pretty good voice, though.

Really interesting how people's production styles follow them into a project like this. It's like each artist came in and said, this is how you record me--regardless of what actually serves the song. I'm thinking specifically of the Kenny G sax sound, but most especially the quadruple-tracking, layered harmonies and extreme reverb on Peter Cetera's half-verse. Stood out like a neon thumb.
