Who wrote "We Are the World" with Michael Jackson?

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" hit the UK in 1984 as a star-studded charity single for famine relief in Ethiopia, and American artists decided they needed to step up, too. If celebrities want to get competitive about who can raise more money to help people, that sounds like a win-win to me. Lionel Richie worked with Jackson to create the song, which felt like a natural pairing since Richie's Commodores opened up for the Jackson 5 on tour. The song sold over 20 million copies, won four Grammys in 1986, and raised $63 million for USA for Africa, so if it takes staring down a python to feed the world, sign me up.
