Lionel Richie could barely imagine recreating the magic that happened on Jan. 28, 1985, when "We Are the World" came together. Richie remembered being paired up with Jackson to write the song, which was produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian. LIONEL RICHIE SAYS HIS 'ALL NIGHT LONG' IS 'DOWN TO A FIERCE 15 MINUTES'"At the beginning, there was no terror at all because we had no deadline," he said. "I'm trying to write the lyrics to this song, and I'm screaming, and he's going, ‘He wants to play with you, Lionel,’" Richie said. "All of a sudden, we went from just la la la to panic."
