1984 (Nov 25) – Paul Records on ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’
November 25, 1984
In London, Bono, George Michael, David Bowie, Jody Watley, Paul McCartney and a passel of other stars record vocals for “Do They Know It’s Christmas?,” the first big all-star charity single. Released a week later (in time for Christmas), it becomes a holiday favorite and raises over $14 million for famine relief in Africa.
