@MN5 Yeah was good watch.
I read somewhere Ackroyd was one of the organisers - plus he's a Blues Brother.
If Jennings had lived until this doco came out he might have been embarrassed, he essentially had a hissy fit and threw his toys when he could have just waited 5 minutes for it all to resolve with as you note the funny comment about how they don't speak Swahili in Ethiopia.
I think the Dylan stuff was really good. I have a mate who defends his singing, even Dylan wouldn't defend his singing.
I had no idea who Al Jarreau was and I guess he must have been big in the states back then as he's very prominent.
Funny seeing Jackson still black.
Is Ritchie's current alien face due to plastic surgery or just his face shape?

Yeah I think Stevie Wonder was a bit too woke and it’s a good thing they didn’t indulge him. He almost ruins one of his own songs ( Don’t you worry bout a thing ) with incessant ramblings in Spanish for example.
Al Jarreau did this, great song, smooth voice but not as big a star as others there…..
As for Lionel I assume he’s had A LOT of work done.
Further on the Prince no show…..definitely a case of him not being the biggest star on show (as well as Purple Rain had done MJ had sold more with Thriller ) and not being in complete control. Having read a book on him he had a habit of firing any blokes in his bands who threatened to steal the limelight from him, he never had an issue with women being front and centre at times though.
But overall some absolutely terrific voices on display ( Richie, Wonder, Lewis, Nelson, Rogers, Springsteen and above all MJ ).

Stevie was woke before there was woke! Great show. Funny that Prince stood Lionel up. Great talent but a weird guy clearly. Sheila E seemed butthurt about not getting a solo. But she wasn't a patch on most of the stars in the room, even though I loved her big song that year. Someone needs to make a new doco on Do they know it's Xmas? now.

Yeah, and Waylon Jennings was refreshingly un PC.
a good ol boy like that ain’t got time for singing in African !
Stevie is a musical genius ( I don’t use that term lightly ) but I gotta agree with the Dukes of Hazzard singer in this case.
Shelia E was fucken incredible as one of Princes support acts, absolutely wicked drummer and a pretty cool singer but yeah, she’s not worthy of a line above others in that lineup.

It was the way it was framed, but perhaps Stevie was overcompensating for missing out on the original writing of the song. One thing that comes out is how much of a writing genius Lionel and Michael were, and Quincy and his partner were amazing when picking who would sing which parts based on their voice profiles. Huey Lewis was very big at that time, but I think he could count himself lucky to get a solo

Yep, Lionel is the king of cheese but he did some absolute bangers in his time and you get the feeling he is a hell of a nice guy too.
If a weirdo like MJ can turn up you’d have assumed Prince would too. Sigh,

Stevie went dark for weeks and wondered why they didn't call him to write the song. Lots of divas there
