He’s not?

This footage has actually been on YouTube forever, just lacking the interviews and narratives obvs. It's not long lost.

You can also find the same for "Do They Know It's Christmas", sadly, most of those parts were recorded separately.

He seemed so uncomfortable, it was kind of painful to watch!

It was interesting to see which singers sang their lines with ease (Lionel Richie, MJ, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall) and which ones really struggled (Al Jarreau, Bob Dylan).

After watching this I have the utmost respect for Lionel Richie. He is a total pro.

I do wonder about why it was an either/or thing with Cyndi Lauper and Madonna?

+1 SOOO boring.

And a lush. I'm no teetotaler but there is a time and place. Getting hammered while working on a project like this, to the point your counterparts were afraid you wouldn't be able to perform, is not ok.

Prime MJ handsome period. His golden era. Al Jarreau appears to be not a great singer.

I'm loving it, watching now, MJ is so handsome.

I have to agree with this. I felt the same.

Huey Lewis is a national treasure. Guy turns up and is asked to step in for Prince and do a solo. Admitted that he was nervous as hell but totally knocked it out of the park.

Cyndi Lauper trying to hit the high notes was like nails on a chalk board.

Agree on both counts.

I was a HUGE Cyndi fan growing up and was pretty shocked how bad she sounded.

Always like Al Jarreau until this documentary. I’ve seen other version of his performance attempts that evening and it was painful to watch.

I love Hall and Oates

Great documentary.

The only people I felt were missing were Don Henley, who was huge at the time, and Stevie Nicks. How could they invite Lindsey Buckingham and not Stevie Nicks?
