Thats what friends are for

Thats What Friends Are For was written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. Originally recorded by Rod Stewart in 1982 for the soundtrack of the movie Night Shift, it became particularly famous in a 1985 version by Dionne Warwick, recorded to benefit the American Foundation for AIDS Research. This version, featuring Gladys Knight, Elton John, and Stevie Wonder, was a major hit and helped raise significant funds for AIDS research.
