The magic of Clive Davis’s annual pre-Grammy dinner is distilled in these two videos from his latest event on Saturday, February 4th, 2024.
Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder, and friends like Andra Day, represent the highest echelon pop music. These videos will send chills up your spine.
This is what you don’t see at the Grammys. And luckily, Clive is making a documentary now of all his galas, with performances no one has seen before except the lucky guests.
Savor these people and their musicianship!

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive. Thank you
