In 1984, the biggest British artists of that time came together to record a Christmas single, initiated by Bob Geldof, for the benefit of the famine in Africa. Artists such as Bono, George Michael, Phil Collins, Duran Duran, Paul Weller, Culture Club, Spandau Ballet and many others recorded a song called 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. The song reached number one in 15 countries and became a Christmas classic. Later, 2 more versions were recorded, in 20 04 for the 20th anniversary of the song, then with Natasha Bedingfield, Sugababes, Keane, Robbie Williams, Joss Stone and Radiohead. In 2014, the third version was released, with Paloma Faith, Ellie Goulding, One Direction, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of 'Do They Know It's Christmas', a 12' and CD single is now being released featuring all 3 versions, plus the live version as played at Live Aid 1985 and a special version where all three versions are merged, so that the artists from all versions are, as it were, dueting with each other.
