LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- The Grammy Awards will pay tribute to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans with a musical lineup featuring some of the music industry's top stars.
Big Easy natives Allen Toussaint, Dr. John and Irma Thomas will be joined in the tribute Wednesday night by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonne Raitt, U2 guitarist the Edge and Sam Moore, Billboard.com reported.
Recording Academy of Arts & Sciences President Neil Portnow said the 48th annual Grammy Awards "wouldn't be complete if we didn't take this unique opportunity to pay homage to a region with such rich musical history and culture," Billboard said.
He also noted many Academy members were directly affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The Grammy Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
