He helped write "We are the World." Now, Michael Jackson is once again bringing the world together -- with a goal of breaking a world record.

A group of dancers did their best Michael Jackson impressions Saturday night on Freedom Plaza, dancing to his classic hit "Thriller."  

Dancers from Thrill the World with Dance Baltimore joined them from Baltimore's Inner Harbor, as did others across the planet dancing to hit song in an attempt to set a world record.

Organizations around the world will be dancing in hopes of setting a Guinness World Record by having the most people perform
the same dance at the same time.

The current record is the "hokey pokey.''
