HAIR METAL Podcast EP.24: Hear 'N Aid (1986) "Stars" An All-Star Album For Famine Relief.

The Hair Metal Podcast looks back at the Thrash, Glam & Rock Pop Metal bands, music, events and everything else that heavily influenced the 80's & early 90's Hair Metal music era. On this episode of the Hair Metal Podcast, hosts Kevin and Mike discuss the monumental metal music event of the 80's, Hear 'N Aid (1986) "Stars" An All-Star Album For Famine Relief. 

Hear 'n Aid was a charity record recorded by a large ensemble of 40 heavy metal musicians and released in 1986. The project was organized by Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain, and Vivian Campbell, all from the band Dio. Proceeds from the album were used to raise over $3 million for famine relief in Africa. The 40 metal and rock  musicians were gathered together by Dio and recorded the single "Stars" together while the rest of the album was filled out with eight other tracks, several of which were contributed by artists who were on tour and unable to attend and participate in the mass recording session. A music video was released as well, produced during the recording sessions. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:)
