The star-studded affair marked some major milestones for Grammy newcomer Kelly Clarkson, who picked up her first two Grammys including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Since U Been Gone.” John Legend clinched his first three Grammys that night, including Best New Artist. Legend also gave his first Grammys performance alongside Ciara, Maroon 5 and more artists in a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone, which featured the original members of the funk band.
Many more notable musicians joined forces throughout the night, including Bruce Springsteen and Sam Moore. At the end of the ceremony, the pair paid a tribute to the sounds of New Orleans in remembrance of the destruction of the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina just months prior. Singing “In the Midnight Hour” with New Orleans natives like Irma Thomas, the performance was also a tribute to soul artist Wilson Pickett, who died in January 2006.
