Thanks for posting this. I have been looking forward to watching this event with Miss Patti being honored for giving back to the UNCF.

Was John Stanley involved with the musical arrangements for the event and did he play or sing?

You're welcome! I can't wait for the TV broadcasts on Jan. 24/25th! Don't know about John Stanley, but if you go to the Press Section on the UNCF site, there are press releases about that evening which may have the info you're looking for..

Mario did a fine job. He is so cute and sexy, and wears the best pants to show off is fabulous ass. He was wonderful on Dancing with the Stars.

If he he knew how to say ask then he would have gone great with the background singers. Other than that, he sounded great.

Mario did a great job! I wish he ripped that 'baby' line a little more though. I know he could have but I s'pose he wanted to do it differently. Still a great rendition.... Aretha is awesome!
