“The Greatest Night in Pop”

It’s 1985, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie are all over the pop charts, and together they write one of the most iconic songs in history - “We Are the World”. It all started with an idea Quincy Jones had to raise money for those starving in Africa by bringing 40 music superstars together for one night to record an anthem-like song.  This 90 minute documentary does a fantastic job of inviting the viewer to witness the joys and stresses of bringing diverse personalities and talents together to pull an all-nighter and get the track down.  Richie does most of the narration, but you hear from those behind the scenes as well who add much color!  If you love the song, you are going to adore this deeply moving film. Both put smiles on your face.
