Many actors and musicians like Emma Watson and Willie Nelson, have dedicated their lives and fortunes to bettering the world.  These achievements are being recognized by the Music community at the Grammy Foundation Legacy Concert, which will occur in February 2015. This event has been created to preserve historic music-related material that may otherwise be lost to time. The 16th annual concert will be a celebration of Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, Melissa Etheridge and Cyndi Lauper as musician-philanthropist honorees.

Bryan Adams’ foundation raises money for educating children around the world as he believes that education is the best gift any child could get. Cyndi Lauper and Melissa Etheridge are both gay rights activists and champion of the LGBT community. All these wonderful people will be performing at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles to kick off Grammy week. Willie Nelson started Farm Aid with Neil Young and John Mellencamp nearly thirty years ago to support American farmers, and he has become an beacon of hope for thousands of farmers.

In World Wide Motion Pictures' documentary entitled Welcome to Eden, Willie Nelson is one of several local celebrities trying to save a downtown LA Farm. To honor such a man with a generous heart and incredible talent for country music, the Grammy committee has chosen him and the others to perform and to receive the recognition for his humanitarian work. Having all these artist on one stage will certainly make for a very lively and memorable event.
