Netflix’s ‘The Greatest Night in Pop’ Trailer Goes Behind the Scenes of Creating 1985’s ‘We Are the World’
The documentary features interviews with Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper & more as they recall recording the hit charity single on Jan. 25, 1985.
In between archival footage, which features Quincy Jones, Cyndi Lauper and several musicians cramped together in a small studio, Richie explained that actual lyrics for the track didn’t come together until Stevie Wonder joined the project. The documentary follows the group of 45 all-star musicians who gathered together Jan. 25, 1985, as they “checked their egos at the door and recorded a song to benefit African famine relief that would alter global pop culture history,” the official synopsis for the film reads. The Greatest Night in Pop promises never-before-seen footage of the song’s planning and writing process, as well as Henson Studios were the recording of the track took place.
