Some type of "aid" was all the rage back in the 80's with Band-Aid, Live Aid, and Farm-Aid, and we also had Ferry Aid. Don't remember it? Ferry Aid were a British-American ensemble group, brought together to record the iconic Beatles' song "Let It Be" in 1987. The single was released following the Zeebrugge Disaster, which had occurred on the 6th of March 1987 involving the capsizing of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, which killed 193 passengers and crew. All the proceeds from the single went towards a charity set up to benefit the families of those that perished. I don't really remember this nor do I remember this song. Probably because I was living my little sheltered life in the U.S. mid-west. Anyway, I really only recognize Sir Paul McCartney and Boy George in this video, but here is Ferry Aid with "Let It Be"...
