The Big Unanswered Question

I waited 97 minutes to find out why Dan Akroyd was in that recording studio. I still don't know. As much as I loved the Blues Brothers, that doesn't make him a singer.

The only two huge stars of the time missing were Prince and Madonna. We learned about Prince in all his solitary weirdness but Madonna was mentioned only for a split second.

For anyone who's been in a professional recording studio, Cyndi Lauper having to remove her jewelry was hilarious. The microphones pick up everything, even the proverbial dropped pin. To anyone questioning why she was there, take a quick look at the pop charts from say 1983 to 1986 - there's your answer.

Anecdotes
The documentary goes into detailing several first-hand accounts of why Prince was not on the song. However, the documentary fails to include that Prince did, in fact, donate a song to the "We Are the World" album, (released April 23, 1985) "4 The Tears in Your Eyes", and made an accompanying live performance video for the song, which premiered on the "Live-Aid" concert broadcast on July 13, 1985. In addition, Prince detailed his "side of the story" with the song "Hello", a B-side to the "Pop Life" single in the US (released in July 1985), and the B-side to "Raspberry Beret" single in the UK.
