【讀者分享 🎵】 如果《We Are the World》 crossover昔日香港樂壇 (Patreon)

As reminded by the youtube, on amazing how well it was produced in one take if remembered correctly. 

I think one of the reasons is the quality of the song itself namely melody and lyrics. The first take maybe strongly felt by those doing the storytelling. Remotely relating to how creators strongly motivated to put it into their work (writing below based from source: Wikipedia).

In 1970s, Siouxsie and the Banshees wrote signature song Hong Kong Garden for strong stance over conflict at that restaurant. The experimental sound of oriental theme along with the power guitar play. It formulated a structure that worked well when telling story of region other than local. The band had Robert Smith from The Cure as their supporting act during the tour and occasional guitarist for the band.

Around same time, when their song with Arabian theme used middle eastern style string arrangement, but like Hong Kong Garden with power guitar play.

In 1980s, HK band Beyond made an initial impression into mainstream music scene as a band playing exotic sound with "Arabian Dancing Girl". If they are connected in terms of inspiration/influence, it's a full circle between HK and UK. Not on same scale as "We are the World" over its impact in bringing causes for awareness, but music wise its blend gave reference to pop music development to bands that followed.
