也謝謝幫我代課的葉天倫跟阿丁，以及為了要改課程老師而頭痛的SOCIAL，
還有，所有因自己同胞苦難而心痛的大家，
這裡PO上一首MICHAEL JACKSON的歌"WE ARE THE WORLD"
這是他為了非洲難民寫的歌，當時號召45位歌手一起唱完。
由黑人歌手哈利貝拉方提（Harry Belafonte）提出建議，之後獲得眾大牌歌手的鼎力支持，由昆西瓊斯（Quincy Jones）擔任製作人，在1985年2月28日，45位當紅歌星雲集洛杉磯的錄音室，灌錄了「We are the world」（四海一家）這首義賣單曲。
『We are the world』這首歌是由萊納李奇（Lionel Richie）和麥可傑克森（Michael Jackson）合寫，兩人費了四天的時間寫曲，萊納先完成一部分，麥可看到後靈感大發，一夜之間就把全曲寫好。之後他們又花了兩個半小時作詞，為了普遍推廣此曲，歌詞也力求簡單易學。單曲完成後推出問世，受到的歡迎難以想像，短短數週便賣出八百萬張單曲，

幕後花絮：這是Michael Jackson當年錄製這首歌的過程。
可以看出製作人以及他自己的要求非常嚴格，而且他的歌聲真的非常棒！！穿透力十足！！！
Michael Jackson "We Are The World" (demo)
據說是錄製前的試聽帶，所以只有 Michael 獨唱，而且部份曲調跟最後的完成版也不同。
（照片是網友自己加上的，可以看到以前的 Michael 真的很帥。）
