Barbra
Streisand participated in the 2010 recording of "We Are The World" at
the former A&M studios on Los Angeles today. Dozens of industry
performers joined together in the benefit recording that will raise
money to assist earthquake victims in
Haiti.
Barbra was a member of
the all-star chorus but also got to perform a solo verse on the
recording. According to "The Hollywood Reporter," Barbra sang the same
portion of the song that Diana Ross so eloquently delivered back in
1985:
“There’s a choice we’re
making/We’re saving our own lives” and “It’s true we make a
brighter day/So let’s start living.”
Over 70 performers were on hand including Tony Bennett, Celine Dion, Barbra's
"Mirror" co-star Jeff Bridges, Harry Connick, Jr., Jennifer Hudson,
Gladys Knight, Josh Grobin and Natalie Cole. All of the current
performers on this remake of "We Are The World" are new to the
project. None of them sang on the original recording back in 1985.
