We Are The World

[AgainLindsey]

lindsey appears with a large group of singers on this album cover as well as pictured inside with bob dylan, but does he sing lead or play guitar on any track on this album, or is he just in the chorus?

[chiliD]

He's only in the chorus.

At first, before I saw the video, I thought that Kenny Loggins' part was actually Lindsey, because he sounded so much like him but, alas, no.

(same thing with Kenny Loggins' live version of "I'm Alright"...he sounds a lot like Lindsey vocally on that one...compared to the studio cut)

[AgainLindsey]

merci, chiliD!
always like to see our linds participate in a charity group like USA for Africa, anyway!!!!!

[Bumperke]

When i recall, Lindsey was standing a little shy in the back, right?
It was a hit aswell in Europe ( a huge)

yeah, he was shy and standing in the back with his really high hair at the time...but looking as sexy as ever.

Some photos from that illustrious event (I think this was his fashion low point)

Him putting his hand up to his ear is HYSTERICAL!

Jessica Simpson was doing that on SNL last weekend as she sang in a skit, and I was DYING!! :lol:

Well, I can't say ANYTHING about his fashion in 1984. :o We ALL made bad choices back in the day. LOL

:wavey: Christy...about Lindsey...
He had a headphone up to his ear!!!
And he is with Kim Carnes talking to
his hero Bob Dylan...they were going
to do "something" together/never did!

Thanks Nancy! Right off the video!Sky:)

There was quite a lot of bitching about this song in the UK. The basic complaint was that the US stars were too 'stary' about the whole thing, making demands, pulling rank and so on whereas the British stars were a bit more laid back and casual about it all. :(

Did Stevie or anyone else from FM do this?

I also wondered why they didn't do anything, just for welfare of starving people in Africa (at that moment).
It comes from the heart, but he, maybe they weren't asked!
Who knows?

Imagine...showing up to the same event with the same hairdo. I wonder who was more embarrassed, Lindsey or Dylan. :laugh: :laugh:

Nah, I think Lindsey had about 6 inches on Dylan at least! lol

[dissention]

That hair is absolutely atrocious. :laugh:

I know it was the 80s, but there is no excuse for THAT. :eek: :laugh:

[sulamith]

Actually, Dylan's looks better on this night, and I have seen Ol' Bob looking pretty rough. The ultra high-and-tight is my least favorite Lindsey look. His eyebrows are way over-plucked, too. Gimme natural hippie-boy LB anyday.

I believe I read that who was there that night was sort of a random thing. Of course Jacko and Quincy Jones, etc.. were planned, but for the chorus and fill-in voices, I heard they just sort of asked anyone who was hanging around after the Grammy's. I don't think Lindsey planned to do it ahead of time... it seems to have just come together as an "organic" thing, to quote the man himself, so I guess that appealed to Lindsey. I guess he was being sponataneous, and after all, if you are asked to do that kind of thing, what are you going to do? Say no and look like an ass?

That's not to say his intentions weren't genuine, I am sure they were, I am just saying I think it was a spur of the moment kind of thing with alot of the performers who wound up in the chorus, from what alot of the things I have read about how that all came together.

I saw Jessica doing that too! Was she doing that as part of the show or was that for real? Her facial expressions when she sings bug me.

[wondergirl9847]

She was being silly during that skit. They were singing "We Are the World" during it too, come to think of it. LMAO!!

[Cammie]

:wavey: Gee whizz...Lindsey FANS...Give the guy
some credit for wanting to help a good cause!

Perhaps he is like Samson...his strength is all in
his enormous hair! Most ppl had their ear phones
on their head but Lindsey was holding his up to
his ear to hear the music! So it didn't mess up
his gorgeous hair!!!haha!He was Cute!Luv,Sky;)

ps...Notice the bollo tie? Stripped jacket??? :eek:

[Bumperke]

Of course he gets credit for that, but come on, You can't wear hair like that, it lokes a like an explodid wig,. LOL

Will:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Cammie]

:wavey: Hey Will :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Lindsey must like the look...it hasn't
changed much! Just less of it! Eat your
heart out...Art Garfunkle!!!:cool::laugh:;) Sky:eek: :laugh:

[Bumperke]

New idea.

He´s bold and doesn´t know how to glue the hair? LOL.

Will;) :nod:

[Cammie]

:wavey: Hey Will!:laugh: We like your posts !!!:]

The VH1 TV show... I Love the 80's is on and
a guy was making fun of 8 inch hair such as
Lindsey's...his quote "The higher the hair the
closer to heaven!":angel:What ever that means!
Lindsey is still our Musical hero-Guitar man!;)

Us girls at the saloon would love to trim up
Lindsey's mop and style it like his brothers!
Doesn't he know about hair gels and spray?
We adore the guy even with wild hair!:cool:Sky;)

[Bumperke]

Oeps, i'm "talking" to we??
Wich means more persons, HELLO EVERYBODYS....

In the old continent we see the same shows, and one showed Lindsey in trendy 80's clothing (look at TANGO how sharpe he looked). With all that curly hair. Comparing to all the hot girls with there long hairy wetlook he seemed lost. The voice over said "where everything is smooth, LB looked like a poodle" and honestly, he really looked that way.
But i happen to like poodles, especially white ones, i got one.
