It has been 13 years since the death of one of the most important artists in history, Michael Jackson. Therefore, today we remember one of the most forgotten songs of his repertoire, but at the same time, historical for the number of artists it brought together.
In 1999, Michael Jackson met in South Africa with Nelson Mandela, one of the most important social leaders, and After his visit, he had the first idea to make a new style song of We are The World.
He began to write the lyrics and in 2001 planned to include them on his album Invinciblebut given their relation already broken with Sony, it was not accepted to be in the version official.
After the events of September 11 of that year, Michael Jackson rewrote the song and recorded the song, which included, in its original version in English, to artists como Beyoncé, *NSYNC, Celine Dion, Usher, Carlos Santana and many more.
I want the whole world to sing What More Can I Give for us to join as world; I am not one of those who sit and say: oh wow, too bad for them, “he said. Michael Jackson.
“Thank you for writing a beautiful song, Michael Jackson,” he declared through tears. Celine Dion.
Pop’s king planned to raise 50 million dollars that would be donated to relatives of the victims of the terrorist attack, but because of his problems with Tommy MottolaCEO at the time of Sony, was not released as a single.
Still, Michael offered a titled concert United We Stand: What More Can I Give, in which he brought together almost all the artists who sang in the work.
But the most interesting thing is that, unlike in the eighties, when it was released We Are The Worldin 2001Michael Jackson agreed to make a version in Spanish and brought together Hispanic artists of the stature by Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel.
Indeed, Michael Jackson not only sang in Spanish, but also managed to bring together the following artists to collaborate on the new version of What More Can I Give, titled All for you.
Alejandro Sanz, Cristian Castro, Gloria Estefan, Laura Pausini, Julio Iglesias, Shakira, Olga Tañón, Thalia, and the aforementioned Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel were selected to interpret the new version. In turn, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, also participated in this version.
Without a doubt, Michael Jackson not only managed to bring together many fanatic people and follower of his music and his art, but also managed to bring together renowned artists worldwide to support a noble cause, not once, but twice in his carrera.

It was a fleeting relationship but it left its mark, a characteristic of celebrities like them. the romance between Luis Miguel y Lucia Mendez It lasted very little but it was so intense, at least for one of the protagonists, that it served as inspiration for “El Sol de México” to end up writing a song; or at least, that is what emerges following the statements of the actress and businesswoman.
Luis Miguel has built a reputation as a gallant and seducer, which is why there has always been the idea that the artist was the one who broke hearts and left his partners in an uproar. However, the revelation made by Lucía Méndez would change that perception.
In an interview with Yordi Rosado -issued in January 2021-, the actress who is currently 67 years old said that the affair with the interpreter of “Suave” It was brief and she did not fall in love with him, but he told her that she “It was the love of his life”.
HOW WAS LUIS MIGUEL’S ROMANCE WITH LUCÍA MÉNDEZ
The Aztec actress commented that in the first meeting they had alone nothing happened, because “I saw him very young. I was 30 (years old) and he told me he was 20, and I said: ‘What a lazy!’ Despite this, they had a good time. “He told me regarding his personal problems, that he didn’t know anything regarding his mother, but he was a very nice guy”he added.
After this first time, Luis Miguel He was dazzled by the beauty of Lucía Méndez and began to court her. “Later, we began to communicate, he began to pretend to me, he was a great guy, he sent me gifts and was attentive (…) He was such a nice guy, so kind, so handsome, so everything that I fell for it, obviously; we walked 3 or 4 months”he recounted.
However, the age difference was a great impediment for the relationship to move on to something more serious according to Méndez’s testimony. “I felt strange for, apparently, taking him 10 years, because he told me that he was 20 and it was not like that, he was 17 and I was 30, so he was 13 years older than him but he was a minor, he might end up in jail”continued explaining the artist.
This distance in age meant that Lucía did not take the relationship seriously and ended up moving away, since at that time she had met Pedro Torres, a man who was close to her age and who fell in love with her deeply.
“I did not fall in love with Luis Miguel so much because I always considered that it was not correct, I always had that judgment, it is not right, I cannot fall in love, I should not hang out with Luis Miguel. And I met Pedro, and I went from being the most handsome to a person who was ugly, but he was from my generation and he had his sympathy, talent, personality and maturity; and I left Luis Miguel”he asserted.
