I seem to recall that Michael Jackson insisted on being on his own for one verse dressed in his black and gold costume and bejewelled glove-not exactly the image for a song about famine-stricken kids.
Kool and the Gang were the only US group to sing on the Band Aid tune(and appeared in the video) 'Do They Know It's Christmas' Frankie Goes to Hollywood didn't appear but Holly Johnson can be heard saying 'feed the world' and 'I can't get the laugh right Bob' on the B-side of the 12" single.

Speaking of The Police at the end of the song Invisible Sun you can hear Sting singing a song from My Fair Lady "Wouldn't it Be Loverly" "All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air..."
At the end of their song Message In A Bottle the last line is 'sending out an Esso blue' which was the name of a brand of petrol back then.
In the video for the Housemartins' Happy Hour you can see a young comedian called Phil Jupitus behind a newspaper.
Sting got his nickname when he turned up to play in a jazz band wearing a stripey yellow and black jumper.
He and Stuart Copeland were being interview by Jonathan King for his television show on stage when they started to play fight-in the ensuing melee Sting broke a rib. Stuart's brother Miles was once in the CIA.
