40 years ago today, March 23, 1985, “We Are the World” by USA for Africa debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at #21. The very next week it leaped up 16 notches to #5. It went on to stay at #1 for four weeks and remained in the top 40 for twelve weeks.
I’ve collected many 45 RPM singles over the years. Some I bought at the store, and some are from my years in the radio broadcasting business. This is one I gladly bought at the store all those years ago.
