"Do They Know It's Christmas" was the first of the celebrity group sing-a-long charity fundraiser songs, raising money for the African famine as I recall. The song was hyooge in the UK and well-known in Canada. Probably ignored in the US who did their own version called "We Are The World".

I had to look to wiki for Yazz, had her mixed up with Yaz(oo). I'm familiar with the latter, but Yazz never charted in North America.
