Gems amid the Junk
More of a dated collectable than a great listen, We Are The World does contain a couple of excellent tracks. The title track has its charms and remains a cultural snapshot from that moment in time, even though it does not hold up well next to its real inspiration - "Do They Know It's Christmas".
On the other hand, this is the only place to find Springsteen's excellent cover of the Jimmy Cliff penned "Trapped" and the original version of Prince's "4 The Tears In Your Eyes" which is better than the version on the Hits/B-sides collection. The rest is pretty much dreck.
Identifying the singers on the Canadian collaboration "Tears Are Not Enough" makes for an amusing trivia game, eh?
