The Untold Story of the Race to Record “We Are the World”

Season 2024 Episode 6175 | 18m 23s

Almost four decades ago, 46 of America’s biggest music stars gathered in one studio to record the single “We Are the World.” The record sold 2 million+ copies, and the all-night recording session behind it is the focus of a new Netflix documentary, “The Greatest Night in Pop.” Also present that night was Tom Bahler, a vocal arranger for the song. Hari speaks to him alongside director Bao Nguyen.
