LET'S GO CRAZY: A GRAMMY SALUTE TO PRINCE
April 21, 2020  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
SPECIAL: This musical salute to Prince, who died four years ago today, was taped January 28, when artists could still get together in the same venue, and people could still sit shoulder to shoulder and watch them. Renditions of Prince songs will be played by, among others, Morris Day and The Time, Sheila E., The Revolution, Usher, Mavis Staples, John Legend, Chris Martin, H.E.R., The Foo Fighters, Common, and Earth, Wind & Fire. The program is hosted by Maya Rudolph, who, in this special CBS Grammy tribute overseen by long-time Grammy telecast impresario Ken Ehrlich, also will perform with her Prince tribute band, Princess. And yes, there’s also a scheduled appearance by her former SNL castmate, Fred Armisen, who used to do a dazzling, humorously quiet and shy impersonation of The Artist Formerly (and once again) Known As Prince.
