Above- History-a piece of music and a lesson in humanitarianism. Iconic personalities and performers with a common goal…... the greater good.

The plea and the question like it says above -Can we do this again combing performers from today … across the oceans with the original performers from the glorious event and help us as people come together in a positive light.

Above-The finale from Live Aid 85-this segment from Wembly Stadium…..can you name e3vryone on stage….?

I for one would be willing to get up there. ***I did headline my own wedding but that’s another story. I say yes, we can and bring the world together in a positive note…and really make it a global event with K &J Pop performers along with Europe, U.S. and…...

Above- the original marketing material for Live Aid.

And who would not want to be a part of something good. Be entertained at the same time helping a “neighbor” in need. It could be you some day.

The history-

If anyone had told I would be writing an article about an event that happened almost 40 years ago I would have said no way. One- back in ’85 I was working for a major cable company marketing the cable service door to door. Plus MTV was a big attraction and popular.
