Rihanna, Usher, Stevie Wonder and
John Legend paid tribute to Lionel Richie in a musical
tribute touching on his roots in R&B to his string of
romantic, easy-listening ballads that ruled the
airwaves in the 1980s.
They joined The Band Perry, Demi Lovato, Luke
Bryan, Chris Stapleton and Ellie Goulding in launching
Grammy weekend Saturday night by honoring Richie
as the MusiCares Person of the Year.
Richie was toasted for his musical achievements and
philanthropic work two days before the Grammy
Awards. The 66-year-old singer-songwriter launches a
string of South American tour dates later this month.
Rihanna, wearing red sneakers with her red and white
floral gown, sang "Say You, Say Me" backed by a
string section.
Usher showed off his dance moves on the buoyant
"Lady (You Bring Me Up)."
