At last night's 56th Annual Grammy Awards, Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles appeared in a special performance with four-time GRAMMY winner and 2014 MusiCares Person of the Year Carole King. The performance was introduced by legendary rocker Cyndi Lauper who had just picked up a Grammy Award of her own for Best Cast Recording for Kinky Boots.
Below, watch the two talented musicians perform a mash-up of KIng's 'Beautiful' and Bareilles' latest hit, Brave!
The performance coincides with the recent official opening of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at Broadway's Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
With a book by playwright and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni and choreography by Josh Prince, Beautiful features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil.
The music industry's premier event took place live on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast in high-definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on the CBS Television Network from 8 - 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
Carole King, inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990, is one of the most honored and celebrated singers and songwriters in contemporary music, and rightly so. No musician from the rock and roll era has left a more durable imprint than she has, nor probably ever will. Her litany of original hits (especially those written with partner Gerry Goffin) is enough to ensure that fact. One person's list might top out with "Some Kind Of Wonderful" and "Up On the Roof" (the Drifters), "The Loco-Motion" (Little Eva), "Oh No Not My Baby" (Maxine Brown), and "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)" (Aretha Franklin), and King's own "It Might As Well Rain Until September."
