After the wild success of "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles" last year honoring the 50th anniversary of the Liverpool-based band, Grammy follows a new trend, this time with an amazing Stevie Wonder tribute called "Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life - An All-Star Grammy Salute."
One of the most iconic people in show business from his time in Motown, Stevie Wonder tributes can be seen all around, all the time, but it's a rare and beautiful moment when the music Academy, the Grammys, honors one of the greats - particularly because they can also get the biggest names in the industry to sing along to their classic hits!
According to Time Magazine, the biggest show of the night of the Stevie Wonder tribute was Beyoncé's act, as Beyoncé is usually the most interesting thing going on wherever she's performing. In this particular event, the "Single Ladies" singer performed a beautiful melody from Wonder's songbook (which is to say, "Fingertips," "Master Blaster" and then "Higher Ground"), accompanied by Gary Clark Jr. and Ed Sheeran on stage.
As Bustle reports, some of the other stars lending their talents to pay their respects on the Stevie Wonder tribute were Pharrell Williams, Ariana Grande, Babyface and even oddball pop diva Lady Gaga, Ryan Tedder (the front man of OneRepublic), Ne-Yo, John Legend, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson.
The Wrap lists some of the best moments in the Stevie Wonder tribute as: Beyoncé's rendition that opened the tribute show, LL Cool J's request for the audience to close their eyes and "see" the world the way Stevie does, Ariana Grande and Babyface's acoustic rendition of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours," Lady Gaga's piano performance of "I Wish" during the show, and Pharrell with Ryan Tedder.
