Episode 22.15: All Over the Map: “We Are the World”

John and Tom were so taken with the making of “We Are the World” documentary, they just had to cover it on the podcast. Though the song itself is not yachty, there are a surprising amount of tie-ins to yacht rock, which makes it sea-worthy of exploration. Things Discussed: Yachty personnel (naturally) The history, the context and how it all came together The amazing writing, arranging and recording process Clever techniques, in and out of the booth Things you never knew about “We Are the World,” such as Where were Prince and Madonna? The solo sessions play-by-play: some came together...some didn’t! What happened next? Be sure to watch it for yourself. You won’t regret it. https://youtu.be/HVg_nG4RV_k A Way-Off-the-Map Lightning Round Does It Float Your Boat?
