Apparently, Lindsey Buckingham was the only one not actually given a line to sing. I bet it was kind of awkward as they were calling all the names to come up & collect their lyric sheets and poor Lindsey remained by himself. I imagine he just said, Hey, no biggie, I didn't feel like singing anyway, but deep inside he was thinking, This is bullsh-t, I was in Fleetwood F'in Mac!

I wouldn't have been able to tell you who's missing, but great damn video. Still an absolutely awesome piece of music and music history.

Amazing, how many people I actually recognize, probably more that I would've recognized back in the day. I'm not known for my extensive musical knowledge.

Wow! I have not watched this, nor heard it in it's entirety, since it was big. What a treat! I'd forgotten just how many stars were involved. Kenny Loggins, the guy from Journey, Hall and Oates, Huey Lewis - oh, and of course, all the much bigger names. Genius, really, since most of them got their moment to do their shtick. What a great moment in pop history that was.

There were 3 or 4 in the crowd I didn't recognize, but I got nearly all of them. So who is missing?

Unless I am mistaken Madonna was pretty big then but is nowhere in the video?

Tsk tsk Sleepy, you didn't hit The Reference Dept. first.

Quote:

Among the singers who allegedly declined offers to sing on the recording included:
Madonna (on tour during the session and eventually turned down the offer)

Didn't Prince decline also? Or was he snubbed?

Prince wasn't part of the song, but he contributed a song to the album - it's called "4 The Tears in Your Eyes".

Reading Cp's reference and I find that Dan Ackroyd was one of the background only singers.

Dan Ackroyd?

Why?
