We are the World

 The singer Michael Jackson was born today in 1958 and one of the songs he’s famous for performing with a large group of other singers is called We Are The World. I always liked it because it was successful in raising millions of dollars for charity. Plus, it’s cheerful and makes me feel good when I hear it. You can listen to it here. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
