If you, like Jimmy Kimmel, were saddened by the dearth of original "We Are the World" participants who showed up for the remake, get excited: Huey Lewis did his own solo version on Kimmel’s show last night. “There comes a time when I heed a certain call, when I come together as one,” goes the instant classic. “I am the world, I am the children, I am the one they forgot to call, but I’m still singing.” Watch Lewis “trying to make a better day, just me and me,” in the gallery.
