Alicia Keys' Etta James Grammys Tribute with Bonnie Raitt - Watch Now!

Alicia Keys and country legend Bonnie Raitt present the first award of the evening at the 2012 Grammy Awards held at Staples Center on Sunday (February 12) in Los Angeles.

The duo, who gave the Best Pop Solo Performance award to Adele for “Someone Like You,” sang “Sunday Kind of Love,” a tribute to the late Etta James.

“As we were reminded just yesterday, when a truly great artist leaves us, their legacy lives on,” Alicia said, referencing the passing of Whitney Houston the previous evening.

“We love you, Etta! We love you, Whitney! We’ll never forget you,” Alicia and Bonnie said in unison at the end of the performance.
