Can you find the one pop star who did NOT sing on ''We Are the World''?
USA for Africa brought together huge music stars. Most of them.

Thirty-five years ago, the pop world came together for the benefit of African famine relief. A supergroup of music stars dubbed itself USA for Africa and recorded "We Are the World." Quincy Jones produced the record, which went on to sell more than 20 million copies.
"We Are the World" was a true phenomenon of 1985, and its video became a touchstone of Eighties pop culture.
It seemed as if every famous pop singer was on the song. Not so. Somehow, not a single surviving Beatle performed.
Below, you will find 20 singers who had a line in the verses or chorus — and ONE singer who was NOT involved. Try to find the pop star was NOT on "We Are the World."

Two guesses but I got it right.
the best singer in the whole song though is Dan Aykrod
I'll never forgive them for leaving John Denver out of it. That really hurt him.
It took two guesses.
Got it on 7th guess
I got it right. Yes for me.
Got it! First answer!
Got it on the FIRST TRY!!!
👍. On YouTube you can watch footage of B.Dylan singing/doing take after take of his part. He must have wanted to do it w/not too many people around. Q. Jones has lots of patience with him. Don't know if it's still on Y.T. I'm a Dylan fan too. Sorry for such a long post. I'm new at this
watch the clip,,tell me bob dylan is singing!
got it on first try. Steve Perry would have surely had to have a solo part if he had been in it.
Correct answer was Elton John. These ‘choose from the list’ quizzes are tricky as any answer you plug in comes up green for a second, then auto scrolls down to whether or not you guessed correctly. Fooled me a couple of times at first!
ok, you're right
Three guesses. I suck.
WOW! Ok, that took like 8 guesses LOL Was kind of surprised.
I guessed the right answer on the 13th try -- Elton John. I was a teenager in the 80's, and I remember We Are the World, but I don't remember it very well.
I guess the Beatles didn't perform on We Are the Wold. I wonder if The Monkees or The Beach Boys performed on We Are the World.

Luck guess on round 1.
So I went through it and FINALLY got the right one. I think I guessed everyone there. I remember the video, but I wasn't taking notes.
The only non-musician in the room was Gary Trudeau, creator of Doonesbury. His character, Jimmy Thudpucker, sang the word "The" in the week long tribute to the recording.
Easy answer, if you were alive then! "We are the world" was the American response to the British "Feed the World". So, American singers vs British singers...
