“It has been an absolute joy to be able to bring this moment in history to life,” he wrote.

The Greatest Night in Pop, deep dive into the 1985 recording session that produced “We Are the World,” is nominated for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special — and Lionel Richie is celebrating the accomplishment.

“I am still amazed by what we accomplished in 1985 and I’m even more amazed after receiving an Emmy nomination for ‘The Greatest Night In Pop,’” the icon wrote. “It has been an absolute joy to be able to bring this moment in history to life alongside @netflix. A big thank you and congratulations to all of the artists and participants for making ‘We Are The World’ happen, and thank you to the @televisionacad for recognizing our documentary.”

Trending on Billboard

The documentary follows the group of 45 all-star musicians — Richie included — who gathered together Jan. 25, 1985, as they “checked their egos at the door and recorded a song to benefit African famine relief that would alter global pop culture history,” the official synopsis for the film reads. The Greatest Night in Pop included never-before-seen footage of the song’s planning and writing process, as well as Henson Studios where the recording of the track took place.

The film is also up for directing for a documentary/nonfiction program and sound editing for a nonfiction or reality program.
