Elton John and his longtime writing partner Bernie Taupin are being honored in a new PBS special and there’s an incredible performers lineup!

The duo received the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize and they were celebrated by a long list of entertainers who performed some of their greatest hits.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said, “Elton John and Bernie Taupin have written some of the most memorable songs of our lives. Their careers stand out for the quality and broad appeal of their music and their influence on their fellow artists. More than 50 years ago, they came from across the pond to win over Americans and audiences worldwide with their beautiful songs and rock anthems. We’re proud to honor Elton and Bernie with the Gershwin Prize for their incredible impact on generations of music lovers.”
