Terry Fator Somehow Impersonated 19 Celebs in This Stunning "We Are the World" Cover
Terry is the world!
Ventriloquism grandmaster and America's Got Talent Season 2 winner Terry Fator truly put his impressionism skills to the test for his latest song cover.
The singer, who has impersonated musicians like Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen in previous videos, did a marathon of imitations with his cover of "We Are The World," a charity single from the 1980s that is the subject of a recent documentary.
What to know about "We Are The World"
In 1984, British music producer Bob Geldof brought together well-known Irish and British musical acts to form a supergroup called Band Aid, which recorded the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?," which sold twelve million copies and raised over eight million pounds to benefit victims of famine in Ethiopia. The next year, the live concert series Live Aid raised more than ten times that amount.

Inspired by "Do They Know It's Christmas?," calypso singer Harry Belafonte was inspired to form an American supergroup to raise money for Africa. Producers Geldof and Quincy Jones joined the project, and Belafonte asked singers Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie to write the song. Richie recruited Stevie Wonder to sing and Michael Jackson to write the lyrics, and eventually thirty-seven contributors lent their voices to the single, per Vulture.
Released in 1985, "We Are The World" sold over 20 million copies.
The lyrics to "We Are The World"
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
