BEVERLY HILLS — All eyes were on the Beverly Hilton Hotel Tuesday night as the legendary music mogul Clive Davis hosted his annual pre-Grammy bash. The event always attracts the biggest names in entertainment — with this year being no exception.
Guests were treated to a night of music featuring both solo performances and pairings of some of the music industry’s biggest names. With an introduction from famed LA Reid, Grammy winning artist Rod Stewart opened the show with a medley of his rock & roll greatest hits.
Chris Brown and Heather Headley — whose debut album charted at number five this week — followed, as did Grammy nominee Kelly Clarkson who garnered a standing ovation with her performances of “Since U Been Gone,” and “Because of You.”
The evening continued with Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas’ Grammy-winning duet “Smooth,” followed by a fan-favorite medley by multi-Grammy winner Barry Manilow, along with his rendition of “Unchained Melody.”
Jamie Foxx brought the audience to their feet with his performance featuring Ludacris, Jodeci, Kanye West, Snoop and Doug E. Fresh, and the evening capped off with a Luther Vandross tribute by Grammy nominee Fantasia & Anthony Hamilton singing “Til My Baby Comes Home” with additional artists Natalie Cole, Mario and Alicia Keys joining for “The Power of Love” finale.
