From Wikipedia:
Band Aid was a
British and
Irish charity supergroup, founded in
1984 by
Bob Geldof and
Midge Ure in order to raise money for
famine relief in
Ethiopia by releasing the record "
Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market. The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the
Christmas number one on that release. Two subsequent re-recordings of the song to raise further money for charity also topped the charts. The original was produced by
Trevor Horn.
