Which Stevie Wonder song was recorded with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and Gladys Knight for a charity single?

Stevie Wonder recorded “That’s What Friends Are For” with Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and Gladys Knight for a charity single.

The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. Dionne Warwick organized the recording, and the quartet’s version was released in 1985 to raise money for the American Foundation for AIDS Research, commonly known as amfAR.

The single became a major commercial success and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Its proceeds and public visibility supported AIDS-related fundraising at a time when the disease was surrounded by intense fear and misinformation.

Although Wonder was one of the featured singers, he did not write the song. That distinction separates it from many of his own compositions and from “We Are the World,” another prominent charity recording of the same era.
