Sun City.
more Sun City.
way more Helter Skelter.

October 16, 1985 - 2025: 40 years of: Sun City.

They are the World.

Another 80s celebration. After March's We Are The World juggernaut single, another upbeat all-star song and album was crafted. The massive ARTISTS UNITED AGAINST APARTHEID project with it's "Sun City" hit, unites the globe.

Boycott the Sun City. South Africa's posh club, the epitome of Apartheid and division, under scrutiny by poprock artists. Make a stand and fight along the U.N.'s restriction. Reject the resort, but rock the song ...dance to Sun City.

A collaboration, featuring the talents of: Little Steven, Peter Gabriel, Bono, George Clinton, Joey Ramone, Herbie Hancock, Pat Benatar, Grandmaster Melle Mel, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Star and Run DMC ...rock and rap united and strong, protesting together against the regime.
