The first line of the recording is sung by Paul Young on the 1984 version , Kylie Minogue on the 1989 version , Chris Martin of Coldplay on the 2004 version , and One Direction on the 2014 version . The line was originally written for David Bowie who finally sang it at the Live Aid concert in 1985 . </P>
