Can't have George in the last matchup so I'll take him and Duran Duran and all the other awesome UK artists here.

Band Aid was my number 2 got to stick with it.

And they also decided to throw in a few acts from across the Atlantic to give it a global feeling.  A couple members of Kool and the Gang were sprinkled here and there.  As well as Jody Watley of Shalamar, who'd be a bigger star at the end of the decade.

I swear I thought Jody Whatley was British.

Kool and The Gang happened to be on tour and ran into Bob Geldof at random who invited them to the sessions if memory serves. It was out of pure coincidence though.

No, Jody is from Chicago, Illinois. Also her and her Shalmar Band mate Jeffrey Daniel are original Soul Train dancers
