Welcome To Tunes For Tuesday!

If you know me at all, today’s Tunes For Tuesday pick is an absolute no-brainer.  Band Aid released this song in 1984 and it is now a classic (it’s almost 30 years old – OMG!).  For as long as I live this song will be my favorite holiday tune and I will feature it on this blog every single year around Christmas so be forewarned.

This song has a ton of my favorite artists.  It’s a shame that some people only know Paul Young as the guy who starts off this song but he is amazing.  I’m aware that my Simon is in this song and his voice is stellar but the Wild Boys look was far from my favorite (my 14 year old self would never have admitted that though).

I wish I knew where my copy of this album was.  My father and stepmother went to London when this song was released and they brought me back the album and an official Feed The World t-shirt that I would love to have now but since I can’t, I’ll play this song today and every year at this time.  Enjoy!

Who is your favorite performer in this song?  Is there anyone you don’t know?  Do you know who the only 2 American artists were in Band Aid?
