Band-Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas?
British pop stars got together on this date in 1984 at S.A.R.M. Studios in London to record “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for African famine relief, and American artists did the same a few months last as USA For Africa.
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure wrote the song and featured Paul Young, Bono, Boy George, Sting and George Michael and many others!
Three million copies sold in the UK, making it the bestselling record ever there, and raised over $13.6 million worldwide! It peaked at #13 on the U.S. Hot 100!
