I’ve written about this a couple of times. Found another article dealing with this charity event. In this article, we find out what Amy Grant and Vince Gill will perform. I’d like to get feedback on what song you think Miss M will perform. Looks like whomever sings will have to choose something from West Side Story. Heres another article, but the focus is on Amy Grant and Vince Gill:
When a New York charity put together a group of Broadway and Hollywood stars to perform at a fundraiser only one pair of country artists was chosen to help. Vince Gill and wife Amy Grant were asked to participate in the event, to raise money for the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health. According to country.com, Monahan was the late husband of NBC’s Katie Couric. He died from colon cancer. The event is being held in cooperation with the Entertainment Industry Foundation. A major portion of the fundraiser will be given over to performances of the songs from “West Side Story.” Gill and Grant will sing the haunting “One Hand, One Heart,” the poignant finale to the musical. Others participating will be Robin Williams, Susan Sarandon, Kelsey Grammer, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Bette Midler, Rita Moreno, Tony Danza and Chita Rivera. Should be quite a night. There is also word that several members of the cast of “The Sopranos” will made an appearance. The soiree will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in mid November.
