On this date, the iconic charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” was released, marking a powerful moment in music history. Originally launched in 1984, the song brought together some of the biggest artists of the era under the collective name Band Aid, all united with one purpose: to raise awareness and funds for famine relief in Ethiopia.
