  • Artists United Against Apartheid è un progetto voluto da Little Steven Van Zandt, autore della canzone, e Nona Hendrix e da altri artisti americani, inglesi e ovviamente africani. Nato nel 1985 sulla scia di eventi come Band Aid ("Do They Know It's Christmas") e, soprattutto USA for Africa ("We Are The World"), si proponeva di raccogliere fondi da destinare al problema dell'Apartheid in Sudafrica. Nomi del calibro di Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Cliff, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, solo per citarne alcuni, si cimentarono in questo progetto che produsse un singolo, "Sun City", dal cui testo si evinceva la volontà di non voler più finanziare i bianchi del Sud Africa frequentando i casinò oppure facendo vacanza in questi luoghi, il tutto a discapito della popolazione di colore sfruttata e tenuta praticamente in schiavitù. Tra gli strumentisti Ringo Starr, Zak Starkey e Tony Williams alla batteria, Pete Townshend, Stanley Jordan, Keith Richards, Ron Wood alle chitarre, Clarence Clemmons al sassofono, Miles Davis alla tromba, Herbie Hancock, Richard Scher, Robbie Kilgore, Zoe Yanakis alle tastiere, Doug Wimbish al basso e Ron Carter al contrabbasso.
  • Artists United Against Apartheid var ett projekt av Little Steven (Steven Van Zandt) för att öka medvetandet bland stater och människor för apartheidproblemet i Sydafrika.

Medverkande artister var bland annat Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Miles Davis, Ringo Starr, Lou Reed, Run DMC, Peter Gabriel, Afrika Bambaataa, Jackson Browne, Keith Richards och Ron Wood. Sun City är en lyxresort med hotell och casinos i sydvästra Sydafrika. Utländska artister fick stora pengar för att komma dit och uppträda för vita under 1980-talet. Little Steven skrev under sin vistelse där protestsången Sun City. Uppmaningen var att bojkotta inte bara Sun City, utan hela Sydafrikas apartheidsystem. Albumet Sun City gavs ut 7 december 1985.
