Usher and Janelle Monae are among the team paying tribute to Wonder at “Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life- An All-Star Grammy Salute.” The show will tape in Los Angeles on Feb. 10, two days after the Grammy Awards.
Willie Nelson, Ed Sheeran and Chris Martin of Coldplay will also perform.
Monae, an avowed Wonder fan, joined the legendary artist onstage at his November concert at Philips Arena.

For everyone else, the two-hour event will air on CBS at 9 p.m. Feb. 16.
