Barbara Streisand joined a host of stars young and old to record the classic “We Are the World” for the Haiti relief effort. Sources said Streisand joined the marathon all-night recording session in LA on Monday and sang the line originally performed by Diana Ross: “There’s a choice we’re making.” Babs did 79 takes before Quincy Jones said from the studio, “That’s perfect.”
