For four months in 1976, one of the most prominent sights in NYC’s Times Square was a giant image of Stevie Wonder announcing the arrival of Songs in the Key of Life. Measuring an extraordinary 60 by 400 feet and reportedly costing $75,000, the massive billboard was one of the centerpieces of Motown’s campaign for the album.

A few days after the recording of “We Are The World”, Quincy Jones listened to the tapes and realized he didn’t have enough material: «The energy I needed to conclude had dissipated earlier than I had anticipated.
