Recording Academy Crazy For Prince
• The Recording Academy®, AEG Ehrlich Ventures and CBS will celebrate the enduring legacy and artistry of 38-time Grammy® nominee and seven-time Grammy winner Prince with a special broadcast of Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute To Prince on Tuesday, April 21 (9-11pm ET/PT) on CBS and CBS All Access. The tribute concert is hosted by actress/comedian Maya Rudolph, who will also perform with her Prince cover band, “Princess.” Filmed on January 28, the special will air on the four-year anniversary of the superstar’s passing.
Performing hits from Prince’s seemingly bottomless catalog is an all-star lineup that includes Beck, Gary Clark Jr., Common, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Foo Fighters, H.E.R., Juanes, John Legend, Chris Martin, Miguel, Morris Day And The Time, Princess, Sheila E., St. Vincent, Mavis Staples, The Revolution, and Usher, with special appearances by Fred Armisen (who used to do a killer Prince impersonation on SNL), Naomi Campbell, Misty Copeland, FKA Twigs and Jimmy Jam.
Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute To Prince is produced by AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC, with the cooperation of The Prince Estate. Ken Ehrlich is Executive Producer, Ron Basile, Chantel Sausedo and Rac Clark are producers and David Wild is the writer/producer. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Sheila E. are the co-musical directors of the special.
