Original band aid question

Bungalow Bill · 2004-12-18 20:02:02

I was listening to the original band aid 'Do they know its christmas?' And its wrecking my head to know who sings the lines 'raise a glass for everyone' and ' underneath that burning sun'. Thanks.

No I think Paul young sang the opening lines, now sung by Chris Martin.
