Following her contributions to last week's highly successful Hope for Haiti Now global concert and telethon, Mary J. Blige will pitch yet another helping hand in Haiti's relief efforts.
This Sunday, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul will team up with world-renowned opera tenor Andrea Bocelli during the 52nd annual Grammy Awards to cover Simon & Garfunkel's timeless 1969 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.'
In addition to raising funds for the impoverished country, the significant debut will also mark the 40th anniversary of the track's Grammy wins for record, album and song of the year.
The special performance will be available digitally via iTunes/Target.com immediately following Sunday's telecast. All proceeds will go to the American Red Cross for earthquake recovery efforts. Since its live telecast, Hope for Haiti Now has raised more than $61 million in donations and drew more than 83 million viewers wordwide.
The 52nd Grammy Awards will take place live on Jan. 31 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast on CBS at 8 p.m./ET. Check back during this year's event for BV Newswire's exclusive live blogging coverage.
