Prince did not want to leave his ego at the door.  The one you stated as bad, is the one and only prolific singer/songwriter in the world, Mr. Bob Dylan.  He received The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature.  He is a genius and humble too.

I gotta defend my man Bob Dylan. His voice is an acquired taste, but he wrote some of the most beautiful, archetypal songs of the 60s folk movement. His catalogue is deep and full of songs about peace, protest and humanity. He's really a poet who sings his own work. I'm glad they included him. Plus, I like all the different voices and styles. They make it unique. Check out The Times They Are A Changin', Like A Rolling Stone, Mr. Tambourine Man and Blowin' in the Wind if you have any curiosity about Dylan. Re: the actor - - Dan Ackroyd (Blues Brothers). Re: Michael Jackson. He didn't just 'do it'. He co-wrote it. All the best.

Bob Dylan its the only songwriter in history with a literature Nobel Prize. Humble and great, like a rolling stone.

Dude...you don't know your music. Dylan  is iconic for his voice, style of singing & all he had accomplished. Dylan is considered the most influential artist over the past 50 years. Don't show ignorance!
Prince was too much of a control freak &he also said he didn't like the track. He wasn't missed I assure you. He wasn't even in the top 5 of artists for 1985 when this was released. As of date he didn't make it in the top 10 greatest musicians thus far. Guess what? Bob Dylan did! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Prince couldnt leave his ego at the door.

Bob Dylan also won a Nobel Prize For Literature for all the songs he had written.

The guy you said was "bad" was Bob Dylan.  You need to listen to some of his songs.  He's a legend.

The one who is singing with Stevie at the end is Bruce Springsteen 🔥🔥

All these people are legends Bob Dylan in a league of his own!!! He is not bad!!!

No worries, Bob Dylan. We know...❤

I am not the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan but I give the man his dues on this cut, he slammed it.

The one you thought was "bad" is the iconic singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. That's his style of singing and he's very famous and loved for it ❤❤❤

I’ve lost counts on how many time I saw this video and listened to all of these singers. And it never gets boring…neverrr!

It's fun to see how in awe they are of the people singing, how great Michael is and so on... but THEN to see the look on their faces when Bruce, Cindy and Dionne Warwick open their mouths and they have no clue of who they are :D

This is the holy grail of the 80's, take time and listen to all of them and you will find music better than anything done today.

Someone who is in this video and never mentioned is Harry Belafonte, he contacted Quincy and suggested they should do this. Harry is also a great singer from before the 80's. Listen to "The banana boat song" and then have a look at the tribute they did for him during this session.

And I can understand the comment on Bob... he don't know him or what he has done... and for some that kind of music is difficult to listen to and understand.
But Bob needed to be in this and he really wanted to be in this as the cause is something he has been working for all his life.

you could go down the list of singers in that room and react to their music and never run out of videos to react to. Everyone in that room were singers, even Michael's brothers and one of his sisters was there.

Mate Bob Dylan is a genius ✌💗

How you going to rip Bob Dylan?

Sorry, you need to understand music to react to. Bob Dylan is an icon in the music industry

R.i.p M.J the purest soul. He wrote this song with Lionel Richie 🤴🤴🥰🥰🇷🇴😢😢😢

they are ALL singers, all sold millions of records, even the "bad" ones :)
