Somehow I got sucked into a Netflix documentary two nights ago on the making of that 1980s song "We Are the World," on which 40+ pop superstars collaborated in order to direct attention and resources to the famine in Ethiopia.

My point isn't to discuss the politics of American pop singers.

My point is this: poor Bob Dylan stuck out like a sore thumb in there.

Quiet and reserved, Dylan isn't used to that kind of recording experience, and "We Are the World" is definitely not his kind of song.

So during the rehearsal you could see he was barely singing at all.

When it came time for his solo, he was whispering into the mic. This was not his happy place.

So they cleared the room, and Dylan stood next to Stevie Wonder, who was sitting at the piano. Wonder, it turns out, is an outstanding mimic. He proceeded to sing Dylan's solo in Dylan's exact voice, in effect saying: this is how you should sing it.

Dylan was grinning from ear to ear. He went back to the mic, sang it in the style of Stevie-Wonder-as-Bob-Dylan, and it came out fine.

Lionel Richie led the barrage of people telling him he'd done a great job. "If you say so," said a smiling and relieved Dylan.

So how about that: an international superstar like Bob Dylan couldn't see his way out of a musical puzzle.

He needed an extraordinary talent to help him see (and hear) things he previously couldn't.

This, again, is why you, dear reader, should listen to Jay Abraham. He was Stevie Wonder for me. I couldn't see my own way ahead, my own path to fantastic growth.

But after he showed me, I went ahead and did it -- and like Dylan, I had a big smile on my face.

Reserve your spot to hear Jay, because he's the best there is, and all of us are Bob Dylan:
