The American Music Awards, sponsored by McDonald's, are being broadcasted. The show features the "Gunnels and Bud Light" commercial, highlighting the light beer's first-name recognition. The show then proceeds to the final special awards, which tell the story of the awards starting from the end, after the American Music Awards last year.
The narrator recounts an extraordinary event where many stars joined Harry Belafonte at Anton's studios. Belafonte, an actor, producer, and musical personality, proposed an idea to help millions of people starving in Africa. Ken Kragen, Quincy Jones, and other top stars were involved in the project.
A special song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, which was recorded at the studio on January 28th. The session was filled with good feelings and friendships. The song, "We Are the World," was played and received a positive response from Stevie Wonder.
The song was broadcasted simultaneously on 6000 radio and television stations on April 5th, and it was heard around the world. The song was a prayer for famine relief.
The show then honors Harry Belafonte, who started the USA for Africa project. A few years ago, a group of artists came together to raise their voices on behalf of some local folk in need. The show also pays tribute to Harry Chapin, who dedicated his life to helping those in need.
