Generations of artists paid tribute to the five-decade career of Joni Mitchell, who was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year at a gala two days before the Grammys.
Lauper recited several of Mitchell's lines that moved her most, before launching into “Magdalene Laundry” while playing mountain dulcimer.
“I had the best margarita that I've ever had at our hotel,” she told The Associated Press as she walked into the gala. In a new approach to this year's MusiCares tribute, organizers appointed Carlile, who is up for five Grammys on Sunday, and Jon Batiste, who is up for 11, as music directors to coordinate the artists and their approaches to the difficult, genre-bending songs of Mitchell's five-decade career.
John Legend gave a surprise performance, singing and playing solo piano on Mitchell's “River” on a spinning stage in the middle of the room as the crowd of 2,400 was finishing their spinning dessert, an edible Grammy trophy on a turntable.
