Quote:
It was Sheila E., not Sheena Easton (she wasn't there). And yes she was interviewed and talked about Prince, and explained why she felt used. I don't have information if Stevie was asked, as I said in my first post, I wonder if they asked her to participate. But being popular in the 80s, I'm curious why they didn't ask her (and asked Lindsey instead) if they didn't. It was early 1985, she didn't release an album in '84 but The Wild Heart was a great success in '83 so she surely still was considered a star. Lindsey was included, though Go Insane ('84) just peaked at #45. He was mentioned at the beginning of the doc: "and we asked the other artists that we had on our roster, like Kim Carnes and Lindsey Buckingham ". Why they had Lindsey in their roster, they didn't explain. I was happy he was there, but angry he was back in the last row. They asked artists who not necessarily were in LA at that time. Dionne Warwick was in Vegas and had to fly that night. So geography was not an issue. And the purpose of We Are The World was getting money to help Ethiopians. Though there were great musicians, the presence of well known stars was a better factor to acheive the goal. The explanation of why Madonna was not invited does not satisfy me either. But she was in Live Aid, where no Fleetwood Mac member was (Philadelfia or Wembley).
