The "We Will Always Love You - A Grammy Salute to Whitney Houston" was a one hour special on CBS which was pre-taped a month ago in Los Angeles at the Nokia L.A. Live Theater and aired last night November 16th at 10 PM (EST).
Everyone in the theater was remembering the late soul sensation and actress who touched multiple lives from star actors and actresses to major singers like Usher, Britney Spears to LL Cool J and more…
Sharing tears of love and introducing live performers, Halle Berry spoke how much she loved the unforgettable Whitney Houston and than followed up by introducing Jennifer Hudson who performed 3 of Whitney's uptempo songs such as, "I'm Every Women," "How Will I Know," and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody."
The one person that reflected deeply about knowing Whitney was Clive Davis who ultimately discovered her when she was 19 years old and launched her music career. Clive mentioned how she took his breath away and Whitney gave us the "Greatest Love of All," which was also a major hit song performed by the soul princess.
The song, "Greatest Love of All" was performed by Celine Dion who received standing ovations from the audience after performing such a heart-felt rendition of the song.
Usher poured his soul out in his performance of, "I Believe in You and Me" which was a touching song featured in the hit movie, "The Preacher's Wife" and Usher was introduced by Taraji P Henson who plays a cop on the television show A Person of Interest.
The closing off performance of the one hour special was CeCe Winans and Yolanda Adams who performed, "Count on Me," an angelic version as a duet.

(Washington, D.C. – October 4, 2012) – Beyond Mask Expressions (BME) will present the 8th annual public concert at the Historic Lincoln Theater on Thursday, October 18, 2012. The concert will feature ADTI’s Inspirational Choir and Moroccan Ensemble. This is a yearly event which has been continually enjoyed by sold out audiences.
This year’s concert will be co-hosted by long time ADTI friend, Captain Fly, a member of the legendary R&B Group, The Intruders, and children’s author and advocate for early intervention for children, Phyllis Cola.

“I have always believed that when God gave out gifts He did not miss anyone and my grandmother taught me that if you feed your faith, doubt will starve to death,” stated Dr. Do. “There is no doubt in my mind they will grace the Grammy stage in my lifetime.”
The program will include a duet with Brian Slaughter and Yahzareh performing “At Last.” “Marvin Gaye” will be performed by Kevin Christian. The Inspirational Choir and Moroccan Ensemble will also perform songs that have been recorded by Lou Rawls, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Edwin Hawkins, James Cleveland and Chuck Brown among others.
“The annual concerts in the Lincoln Theater, dating back to 2004, are ADTI’s way to give back to the community by providing this free concert, filled with joy, energy and love by the musicians of the Moroccan Ensemble and the singers of ADTI’s Inspirational Choir,” stated Dr. Sky. “Some of the audience members consist of Individuals with Differing Abilities and their concert offers them an opportunity to feel proud of who they are as well as gives them role models among peers who demonstrate that there are no limits for their creativity.”
Tickets to the concert are free and can be picked up at the Lincoln Theatre Box Office, 1215 “U” Street NW, Washington, D.C., 202-328-6000.
