This 1984 charity song was composed in 1984 and was meant to raise money for the humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia, where over 7 million people were affected by a widespread famine. It was the fastest-selling single in UK chart history until Elton’s John “Candle in the Wind” as referenced in the clue.
The song earned more than 8 million pounds for relief, spawning other charity events like Comic Relief and the Live Aid concert. It has since been rereleased and rerecorded several times for other charity efforts.
