Earth, Wind and Fire and Cyndi Lauper have been honoured with a Grammy Salute.
The accolade is a special concert presented by the Recording Academy, which celebrates the contributions of musical artists, genres, or significant moments in music, and it also features live performances from a string of music legends.
Six-time Grammy winners Earth, Wind and Fire, and two-time award-winner Lauper, 72, will receive televised special programmes, recorded live from the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.
A Grammy Salute to Earth, Wind and Fire: The 21st Night of September airs on Sunday, September 21.
The show – which is available to stream on Paramount+, and is being broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 8-10pm ET/PT – will see the legendary band perform with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Earth, Wind and Fire’s hit songs – including September, Let’s Groove and Shining Star – will be honoured, and special guests, including Stevie Wonder, 75, the Jonas Brothers, Jon Batiste, 38, and Janelle Monae, 39, will make an appearance.
A Grammy Salute to Cyndi Lauper: Live from the Hollywood Bowl – which will also stream on Paramount+, and be broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 8-10pm ET/PT – airs on Sunday, October 5.
The show was filmed over two nights after Lauper brought the curtain down on her year-long Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour.
Helping to create the concert that honours the 80s pop icon’s smash-hits – including Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time, and True Colors – is a series of special guests.
These include Joni Mitchell, 81, Cher, 79, Angelique Kidjo, 65, John Legend, 46, SZA, 35, Mickey Guyton, 42, Trombone Shorty, 39, and Jake Wesley Rogers, 28.
