Bob Geldof talks about his involvement in USA for Africa in a BBC interview with Alan Yentob:

Amount raised

[edit]

The statement that it has raised "more than $63 million ($156 million today)" has been marked as dubious. I don't know when that figure relates to, possibly early after its release, but the exective producer Ken Kragen states in this presumably more recent video that it has raised $80 million so far.
