An all-star performance roster was on hand to help Motown ring in its 60th anniversary via the highly anticipated Grammy celebration, ‘Motown 60.’

Headlined by John Legend and Stevie Wonder, the extravaganza – set to air April 21 on CBS – was taped at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and was hosted by Smokey Robinson and Cedric the Entertainer.
