The annual pre-Grammy gala hosted by music executive Clive Davis has become nearly as legendary as the award show itself.
Since the 1970s, the music impresario has hosted these exclusive parties, often showcasing the talent of the brightest stars of the music industry from Lionel Richie to Whitney Houston.
With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging in the country, Davis couldn’t hold the pre-Grammy event at the usual location of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Instead he chose a new, more socially distant location: a Zoom Call.
Davis was able to pack in 2,000 guests to this still-very exclusive, albeit virtual, shindig in a Zoom session on Saturday night. He then commenced to conduct one-on-one interviews with several A-list guests, including Grammy-winning artists Alicia Keys, John Legend, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Chance The Rapper. It was the first of a two-part event.
