PRINCE: Grammy Tribute Goes Crazy

Let's Go Crazy: A Grammy Tribute to Prince

The star-studded Let's Go Crazy: A Grammy Tribute to Prince aired last night (Tuesday), the fourth anniversary of his death. Maya Rudolph hosted, leading off the show with the iconic phrase "Dearly Beloved." 

Gary Clark Junior and H.E.R. kicked off the performances trading guitar licks on "Let’s Go Crazy."

Miguel started "I Would Die 4 U" soulfully, but quickly turned up the tempo, adding in a little Latin flavor.

John Legend turned in "Nothing Compares 2 U" -- which Prince wrote but was a hit for Sinead O'Connor.

St. Vincent also laid down some mean guitar on "Controversy."

Juanes performed a mostly faithful version of "1999" -- but it was still fun.

H.E.R.returned to the stage -- this time behind the piano and accompanied by dancer Misty Copeland -- for a rousing rendition of "The Beautiful Ones."

Usher's Grammys telecast medley of "Little Red Corvette," "When Doves Cry" and "Kiss" -- with help from Sheila E and FKA Twigs -- came next.

Chris Martin and Susanna Hoffs duetted on "Manic Monday" -- which Prince wrote for The Bangles--softly and sweetly, with Martin on piano.

Prince proteges Morris Day and the Time did a medley of their hits "Jungle Love," "Cool" and "The Bird" -- with their signature dance moves.

Dave Groh lsaid that Foo Fighters hadn't done their version of "Darling Nikki" in 20 years -- right before they launched into it.

The legendary Earth, Wind and Fire performed "Adore" -- and Philip Bailey can still hit the high notes.

Common and Sheila E teamed up for a beat-heavy "Sign O’ the Times."

Beckmade "Raspberry Beret" sound like it was his own. His suit even paid tribute to Prince -- though it wasn't purple.

Gary Clark Junior returned for "The Cross" with Sheila E on drums. It which started off slow but soon brought down the house.

Sheila E. and The Revolution grabbed their mics for a medley of "America," "Free" and "Glamorous Life" -- winding up with Sheila wailing on the drums.

Princess -- that's Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum-- and The Revolution had some fun with "Delirious."

The amazing Mavis Staples joined forces with The Revolution on the classic "Purple Rain" -- with an equally amazing guitar solo from Wendy Melvoin.

Everyone came back on stage for the finale, "Baby I'm a Star."
