ALL-STAR STEVIE SALUTE

The Nokia Theatre was the place to be Tuesday night as the Recording Academy threw the biggest party possible for Stevie Wonder, celebrating the 25-time Grammy winner's iconic album Songs in the Key of Life with a tribute fit for a king.

By night's end, 19 stars had taken the stage. performing selections from his stellar songbook in front of a sold-out audience: Babyface, The Band Perry, Tony Bennett, Beyoncé, Andrea Bocelli, Gary Clark Jr., Ariana Grande, Jennifer Hudson, India.Arie, Lady Gaga, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Janelle Monáe, Aisha Morris, Ne-Yo, Jill Scott, Ed Sheeran, Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams. Jason Derulo, Jamie Foxx, Tyler Perry, Craig Robinson and Maya Rudolph also made appearences.

Wonder is the only artist to have received Album of the Year honors in three out of four consecutive years with Innervisions (1973), Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974), and Songs in the Key of Life (1976). No doubt Kanye has zero issues with this.

The Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life — An All-Star Grammy Salute special will air on CBS this Monday, Feb. 16th from 9-11pm ET/PT.
