Now a meteoric superstar, Michael used his fame to make money for charity. In May 1984, Ronald Regan invited Jackson to the White House to honour him for his work helping alcoholics and drug addicts. In 1985, Michael teamed up with Lionel Ritchie to pen 'We Are The World'. The song featured a host of famous musicians under the name USA for Africa and raised money for those hit by famine in Ethiopia. It has sold over 20million copies to date.
