Forty-five of the music in
dustry’s top artists got together af
ter the American Awards to cut a
single called “We Are The
World.”
The single, written by Michael
Jackson and Lionel Richie will
benefit USA, United Support of
Artist for Africa, a foundation set
up to aid the millions starving in
Africa. All of the royalties from
the single will go to feed the people
in Africa.
The project was put together by
Ken Kragen, manager of such stars
as Kenny Rogers and Lionel
Richie. Quincy Jones served as
musical director and Harry
Belafonte is spokesman for the
group.
The singers on “We Are The
World” include Michael Jackson,
Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder,
Dionne Warwicke, Tina Turner,
Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen,
The Pointer Sisters, Bette Midler,
Willie Nelson, Hall & Oats, Huey
Lewis and the News, Billy Joel,
Two civil rights groups to
use same initials in titles
WASHINGTON—A federal ap
peals court ruled last week that two
civil rights groups can each use the
initials NAACP in their titles.
The ruling by the U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia settles the longstan
ding dispute over the similarity of
names between the NAACP and
the NAACP Legal Defense &
Education Fund Inc.
“These two great organizations,
like brilliant but quarreling family
members, must continue to share
the NAACP initials with which
they were born,” Judge David

FIFTY-FIVE OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST
entertainers lift their voices in song for the benefit of
starving Africans. Among those easily recognizable are
Singing for the
Smokey Robinson, Al Jarreau,
Cindy Lauper, Dan Aykroyd, Lin
dsey Buckingham, James Ingram,
Kim Carnes, Bod Dylan, Ray
Charles, Jackie Jackson, Randy
Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Latoya
Jackson, Tito Jackson, Wayion
Jennings, Sheila E., Jeffrey
Osborne and Paul Simon.
“We Are The World” is expec
ted to be released in March along
with possibly an album. The album
will contain previously un
published cuts from various ar
tists. Also in the works is a video
of the historic recording.
Quincy Jones, who was nervous
about the session, said his biggest
worry was getting everyone
together.
“It could have been a night
mare. I have trouble getting one
artist in the studio, let alone 45.”
He was also concerned because,
just a few hours before the recor
ding session, Stevie Wonder was
still on the East Coast.
“They all came as one,” Quincy
Bazelon wrote.
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People was founded in 1909 to
promote racial equality in the
United States. In 1936, the
association’s board of directors
organized a national defense fund
to raise money to finance civil
rights litigation.
The spinoff organization
called the NAACP Legal Defease
& Educational Fund Inc. does
not lobby, which allows con
tributors to receive tax deductions
for their donations.
Julius Chambers, director-coun
cil of legal fund, said the ruling
“vindicates our position that we
were entitled to use the name that
we have used over the past 45
years.”
The dispute between the two
organizations began when the
parent NAACP had to give per
mission for use of the initials in
order to gain a certificate of incor
poratnon under New York law for
the new organization.
The Legal Defense Fund, as the
legal arm of the NAACP was
known, was a subsidirary until
1957, when it split off for tax
reasons.
After efforts to have the defense
fund change its name, the NAACP
in 1979 voted to withdraw its per
-4 mission for the use of the initials.
In 1982, the association sued to
win exclusive rights to use the
initials, and won in federal district
court.
But, reversing that ruling,
Bazelon held that there was a
“mutual agreement” to the legal
defense fund’s “continued use of
the NAACP initials as an indepen
dent organizaton.” He ordered a
lower court to dismiss the
NAACP’ssuit.

said. “I’ve never seen anything like
it in 35 years of being in this
business.”
Before entering the studio,
artist was greeted’ with a sign put
up by Quincy which simply read,
“Leave your ego at the door.”
“We had no problem with egos
at all. They all came as one person,
everyone was very cooperative. It
went very smooth,” Quincy said.
Jones thought he might have
some problems when he had to
decide who would sing solos and
who would sing the chorus.
Among the soloists were Lionel
Richie, Michael Jackson, Willie
Nelson, and Bruce Springsteen.
According to an observer, most
of the artists at the session seemed
to be very excited about working
with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles.
“It was the most magical
evening I have ever seen, or will
ever see,” Kragen said.
At one point in the evening, the
recording room became silent

At KNBC, he became a week

and, in December, 1976, he was
appointed the station’s sports

Gumbel had first worked for
NBC Sports in the fall of 1975 as a
co-host of the network’s National
Football League pre-game show.
By January of 1982, he not only
came in to thank the artists for
everything they were doing. Before
finishing, the two women simply
broke down and cried and uttered,
“Thank you. Thank you.”
The immediate precedent for
USA for Africa and “We Are The
World” was “Do They Know It’s
Christmas?,” the single recorded
by a group of top British musicians
organized by singer Bob Geldof
under the name Band Aid. The
single has sold an estimated seven
million copies worldwide, with all
profits targeted for distribution in
Ethiopia.
Harry Belafonte, whose idea it
was to get the project going, said it
was sad that the situation in Africa
ever existed.
He hesitated before continuing.
“I didn’t want to say this, but
unfortunately, death among
peoples of color is an accepted
state. If the people over there were
of another color there would have
been a much swifter response to
the situation.” Belafonte said.
